PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I’ve loved you since the day we met –

My heart and soul belong to you

I’ve loved you since the day we met –

My feelings have been unshakably true

I’ve loved you since the day we met –

Despite the fact that you’re not mine

I’ve loved you since the day we met –

And know that I will for all time

Best friend, confidante, treasured secret I hold dear

The feelings I have for you are spoken when no one can hear

No one – not even you – knows exactly how I feel

I’ve questioned it a million times, I know the emotion’s real

Overcome by sensations that radiate from deep within

You don’t belong to me at all – there’s no way here I can win

So why do I stay to be tortured by these things I can’t control?

Because when I walk away there’s an emptiness deep within my soul.

You’ve drawn me out – changed who I am – uncovered secrets I tried to hide

Revealed a part I kept from the world…a fragile, emotional side

Of who I am that I don’t really like simply because she hurts too much

Yet all her pain simply vanishes by the simple act of your touch

Sitting with you in the most innocent of ways, and then you took my hands

Holding them tight letting me know I didn’t need to be alone again

A hand on an armrest, a hand on my leg, resting so casually to you

There’s no way you could know those simple touches shook me thru and thru.

A calm settled over me, a genuine peace, one I felt from head to toe

You smiled at me, held my gaze strong, is it possible that you do know

Just how much you mean, how much you’ve touched every facet of my life?

Is it possible – maybe the slimmest of chances – that now instead of the strife

I’ve become so accustomed to living each day I could have something new?

That there is a hope for something profound brought to my life by you?

Except the truth is you belong to you and there’s simply no room for me

You care for me greatly I know that is so but love is for two, not three.
