When I am in love
the person that I am in love with
is the man I think of before I sleep
He is the only man I bring into my dream
and the man I think of when I am awake

I was told that I am loved
but why then I do not feel it?
Why I am not the last person he thinks of before he sleeps
Not the only person that stays in his mind
Not the first person he excitedly expects to talk to
when the morning comes?

Do people love differently
in different ways,
different rhythm
different songs?

What I know
love should care for the person that you love
and it is not just when the sky is blue,
not only when the rainbow hugs the earth warmly,
but also when the rain floods the soil with its tears

I do not care what the song that makes you dance
or how gray the clouds are in your sky
still I want you to know that you are loved
still I want to feel loved
because I know what gray is
as much as I know what pink is

I need to feel loved daily
even if it is only a minute a day
Am I being too demanding
if I hope that simple wish
would get granted?

If you love me
you would miss me as much as I do
and be there for me
as much as I want to be there for you

I love you
even though I feel ignored

The sun..is you~
My breath ...You ~
In my next life~
I will be ...You`
For today
I only dream of you~
But there is a tomorrow~
As in today~
The run is up~
With only two roses..
On our tombstones~
I will wait for you in my other life~
Infinity..I f it means forever~
My love~

Compelling. Too be touched by the tender rays of the sun for a few moments of every day is not too much to ask. Every bloom needs the light. Lovely !

Kind of a sad poem but so true. That question, I love you but you don't act as if you love me. Feeling alone and lonely when there is someone there. Or are they? Your poem is very powerful and draws on a lot of feelings for me. I have asked the same question. You capture it so well in your poem. It kept me hooked all the way to the end. Very very good poem!
