I hadn't found you

a poem about all my past boyfriends up until my husband!

I remember

Feeling lost and confused

Wondering why I couldn't love

Now I know its because

I hadn't found you

I remember

Chasing through halls with him

Thinking "I don't care where this goes"

Being heartbroken when he said goodbye

And its because I hadn't found you

I remember

Asking him to prom, he was my friend

But I was so much more to him, and I knew

So I said my goodbye, wondering if I would ever feel love

And its because I hadn't found you

I remember

Being so in lust with a man

I thought it was love, I was wrong

I was heartbroken when he didn't respond

And its because I didn't know you

I remember

Being fond about him, but never in love

I ignored him until he said goodbye

Ashamed at not being able to love, was I broken?

But its because I hadn't found you

I remember

Holding your hand, knowing I liked it too much

Then you asked me to be your Wendy, and I gave Pan a kiss

So when we finally said our "I do's" I knew

Its because at last I have found you!

Author's Note

this is the evolutions of my love life...all the major men that played a role in my love life, even the one that doesn't know he did...lol...

i hope you caught the peter pan reference, and yes he asked my to be his wendy instead of his girlfriend!

We learn something from every relationship, whether its some aspect of a person we would like our true love to have or one we hope they don't! But all these people in our lives are there for a reason, teaching us much and helping us, if that is their role.

Very cute poem. I guess many people will be able to relate to the idea of going through a lot of "wrong" guys before finding the right one. I'm happy that ended up for you at last. :)

Have you thought of setting this to music? (Don't look at me, I'm no tunesmith.)

The Wendy thing was really cute. I like this poem. It kind of fits into everyone's life. There's even a song which is along the same lines. 'On My Way' by Boyce Avenue.
Great job!

Aww so cute, the Wendy thing. I liked this poem a lot. Very good. It's always a long road, love, but so worth it when you finally find the right one. And oh so painful heartbreak, and oh so amazing how it goes away when you find the person to glue back together all of the pieces. very well written!
