Lost Feelings

The pain of a love that will never happen

 

Every day Day after day It happens every day! I come to work Just like I am supposed to And I see you I try to pretend that everything is ok I try to be somewhat detached Like I am not pushing it But then I see you I try to act natural To not give you too much attention To not look too long into your eyes But I can't not look over at you Its so hard to not tell you how I feel To not come off as being consumed with you How can I look at you without giving away how I feel? If I tell you how I feel How will you respond? Will you roll your eyes? Will you start to avoid me? I couldn't face you then Do you by chance already know how I feel? By my longer looks By my attentiveness? Do I look at you too much? When I called you at home that time Did I appear to be strange? Was I a little wierd? I couldn't look at you the next day Why do I feel this way about you? There are others....But they don't match up somehow Looking at you is so special Could it somehow be strangely possible that you could might feel that same way about me? Or is this just too impossible? I could look at you all the time then!

Author's Note

This was very painful. But writing about it helped!

The emotions in this are true and honest, that's what I liked the most. I think we've all been here, loving from a distance; staying at arms length and falling deeper into the web than we originally anticipated. You brought to life a situational image; painted a picture with your words that we could all follow and suffer through with you. My suggestion...write her a letter and see what happens :)

Thank you for reading and commenting. I talked with her in person......things werent meant to me in the long run. I felt silly, but we got past it. lol

Aaaww...I was hoping for the fairy tale.

ugh, I know that feeling of longing, wanting, waiting for that moment.. and then you wait again.. and again.. the moment never seems to come when you can say how you feel.. until then.. write it out!!

[Steve]

Thank you. This was about a real situation. It hurt the way it ended, but it was a learning experience. :0)

This is a common problem. I like the fact that you express your feelings. It can be so hard to see someone you want and not know ho to approach the subject or the person. You did a good job writing this.

[Steve]

Thank you so much! This one was completely written from my heart. She was a co worker who I was totally ridiculously in love with. :0)

Again, you vividly capture a moment. It's so direct and powerful and I think everyone has been there. A sensational poem.

Gosh..the emotion is this was outstanding..it started like a song..you should pen it as a song to..but it's a painfully beautiful poem..loved it.

[Poetry Girl]

To live is to suffer, and you have suffered enough, my friend...take heart in knowing that good things come to those who accept their own limitations.....heart-wrenching words...well-written.

Totally captured your paranoia with this looking thing. Being awfully finicky (sp) about it. I like it.

[Robyn]
