Waiting...

...for the moment she can say it back, it may never come but I am willing to reserve patience for the day...

I said it to her

I do not know if she can see

I have never lied to her

nor would I ever wish to

I will sit atop the mountain for the sign

she will become what I so desperately wish

and admit I could mean as much to her

as she does to me

I cannot become a supermodel

nor would I ever want to

I only want to be hers

a balm for the soul

a shoulder to cry on

a confidante for her to release her burdens on

for I am strong enough for the two of us

though I do not know if she will bring herself to listen

whispered hints are scoffed at

as the imaginings of a besotted mind

I am not perfect, not by a long shot

and I am probably not worthy of the honor of her

but I hope she might relent for just once

and say with no evasion nor any lie

"I love you like you love me"

Even if only for the moment...

until that happens

I will be right here, steadfastly waiting...

a balm for the soul
a shoulder to cry on
a confidante for her to release her burdens on
for I am strong enough for the two of us

Truth abounds in this piece, we see ourselves as so much less than worthy, yet we continue to hope, and pray that the one we desire might notice us, see us, acknowledge the truth of our feelings. This was sad, but at the same time, it has a strong undercurrent of patience and devotion, a strength imbues your words.
I loved it!

This is so painful.

I know what it feels like, waiting patienly (impatiently) for the one we love. Hoping, praying that one day they will come at tell us those words we long to hear, "I love you like you love me." But the reality is one will always love more, and more painful that our love slowly fades away, becoming but a memory of long ago. When they come and whisper those words, its too late. You love the memory of yesterday and the hope for tomorrow has already faded away.

Waiting for what you want to hear.......

I felt the emotion in your words....probably because I have felt those raw emotions of waiting myself....

Enjoyed the read ;-)

I thought this to be very powerful in all the emotion you express, it absolutely takes a strong mind and will to be able to wait for someone who may never show up. Great piece Michael.

This is good. This is sad. Waiting until she says what you want to hear. I loved the words you chose. Very deep and powerful. This is a great poem.

[Travis Lawrence]

I like it, but one line stands out to me...

"Even if only for the moment..."

If she loved you for only one moment, could that really satisfy you? I know I would feel teased. Other than that line, though, the poem is strong.

Have a nice day!

It's a tough situation to be in love with someone who isn't in love with you or your not sure is cause your afraid to say it... I really like it cause I have known that situation but I have learned you must take that chance cause waiting only brings loneliness... wonder expression of your feelings though.

I found this sad yet touching. very well worded, but I personal couldnt stand by her side and wait to be loved in return. It's very deep, and you can tell the emotions and feelings are true, and no lies are dipicted. it is a very heart felt piece. unfortunately, i find myself more in the ladies part, then yours, I have a problem showing emotions, and expressing affection, but this is just me, but none the less, I feel it, quite strongly. I hope she shows you as much affection back as you have for her, very nicely written.

Wow this one is nice, it has that special touch to it. I have had friends who I have waited on, waiting for them to notice, waiting for them to see. Sadly they never did. I hope this person is a good friend to you my friend. This is a wonderful piece of writing!
