Ready for Your Embrace

I had just about given up;

The events of August

Tried to convey that love wasn't for me

I would have to secure happiness elsewhere.

You liked me once

Months before

I never knew it then.

Now you tell me

That you want me once again.

My heart fills with worry

Because I feel nothing special for you

We are not equal.

After that thought

Is when my personal history speaks.

I remember:

I was once you.

I loved someone once;

For three and a half years

I chased after her

With all hope steadily slipping away.

Even when it was gone completely

I didn't give up;

I still tried

For no other reason

Than my heart told me to.

Realizing this

How could I continue resisting?

I open my arms

Ready for your embrace.

Let's give this love a try

Pain can create walls of safety. Hard to break down. Like in your poem. We must try sometime. Take no chances. Know no pleasures. I like the ending to the excellent poem.

I like the way the tale in this poem is told. It's a good story, and I like poetry that tells a story. Nice poem. :)
