I Love You

I love you
that's all I can say
I don't know why
life has turned out this way

I prefer to feel nothing
to remain numb and at peace
But you have stirred in me feelings
that are demanding release

This battle is mine
I know that's the truth
I fight for freedom from love
from my feelings for you

Yet still my love pours
like an endless stream
From a broken soul
full of shattered dreams

Unbidden and unashamed
desire flows through my heart
Tormenting my mind
breaking walls apart

It was your heart that did it
the kindness I see
The softness of your words
the way you talk to me

The gentle warmth that flows
from your beautiful soul
The empathy you have
for everyone you know

But it was the sound of your voice
that captured me
A Siren call of love
a sweet melody

Your song took me away
to places unseen
Penetrated my heart
flowed through my dreams

Entrapped me in a cocoon
of the sweetest delight
Until I was lost forever
within its endless light

So now here I stand
a girl lost in a dream
Wondering if you
will ever love me

If you will ever know
of the love that I hide
If you will one day see
the truth in my eyes

If we will ever be
more than just friends
Or if this is where my dreams
will come to an end

Just a silly poem about a crush I once had.

The guy must be blind or without sense to let you go, how many guys get poems written in such a beautiful? I guess very few and trust me you are worth for someone amazing so value your self and keep writing because you are gifted my friend for a destiny only few can go. Bravo!

Carolann, I am a firm believer that dreams do come true. When you least expect it love walks through the door. At times it is difficult, at times you are seperated by years or miles or even worlds, but love is love and there is nothing you can do but let it in. I do understand your thoughts completely as I have experienced the same feelings and I feel that if it is meant to be, it will be.

So now here I stand
a girl lost in a dream
Wondering if you
will ever love me

I am more than certain you will find that the answer to this verse will be yes. Very nicely done.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thanks Jack though it wasn't yes he is happily married now.
