Love What's You'rs

I thought I had loved once,

But now I know that wasn’t love.

 

It felt so right when I was with him,

My face would light up so bright

He never said the right things,

Never did the right things,

But made me feel the right things

 

But he was never mine,

He always said one day he would be

He even promised me that day.

We thought we loved each other

 

But everything I had with him

I have with someone new

And this time he is all mine

 

This time I know it’s true

When we talks about tomorrow

I know the promises he makes,

He intends to keep

And I can feel the passion between us.

 

All the signs aren’t there

In fact we have to work at it

But I’d prefer to build something

Overcome the challenges

Then not

 

I thought I’d loved once,

But it turns out

You can’t truly love something

That’s not yours

You need to find your own.

 

Author's Note

An ex and I kept "trying" to make it work even when he would be in relationships. After reading old poems about him, this just poured out of me...

. beautifully written and expressed, my friend ... before i met my soul mate, i was with someone who seemed like he was "the one" ... but i found out that he wasn't ... much later, i realized that i was falling in love with bits and pieces of my soul mate before i met him ... bits and pieces that i saw in other people ... then, when i met him, i knew that he was "the one" ... but it has taken me a lot of time to truly believe in him ... he is not with me right now ... and i would constantly wonder if he was my soul mate and if i was his soul mate or not ... but recently, the haze cleared ... i saw the picture very, very clearly ... he is yet to see it ... or, maybe he sees it but can't acknowledge it ... whatever the case, it takes a while to know for certain ... and i wish you the deepest and the most beautiful love :) ...

Yes, I understand what you mean. I feel like he has all the "good" of past guys and not the "bad" but it's a long distance thing and that makes me wonder. Thank you and I wish you two the best of luck.
