But I still love you

When you believe that the reason for the breakup is you, how do you carry on without your love�. This, unfortunately is true.

Very rarely does one come across

Someone as exceptional as you

I consider myself lucky that I did

I am grateful for the love you showered on me

For showing faith in me, like no one else

Slowly but steadily I moved closer to you

Shared my heart, enriched my soul

Trusted you with myself

I painted a very pretty picture

Of my future with you

Of our life together.

 

With your arms around me,

I got over the fears and the insecurities

That had been a part of me for so long

I was happy, I was eager

I was ready to start anew with you

I believed that I could overcome any obstacle

To make my dream come true

All along I was unaware that the biggest hurdle was me

I stumbled, I fell. And got up to a different self

I have lost you to my recklessness

I have stained your life

Sadly, I realized it too late

I have accepted my mistake

But I don’t ask to be forgiven

It’s too big a crime for that

So I have moved away

I hope you can move on

You haven't lost anything

For you are without something,

That wasn't worth having.

But I have lost happiness

The happiness that was made of you.

So, even though I cannot have you here by my side,

I still hold you close to my heart

The first thought on my mind is always Y-O-U

And I carry your memories everywhere I go

You are not with me today

But I will never be without you

OMG - I totally have chills. (sorry - the valley girl slipped out!) This is beautifully written with honesty and (I believe) integrity. I FELT this.

I can relate to it all. The pain and loneliness are here without whining. Excellent job.

I LOVED this line:
"I stumbled, I fell. And got up to a different self"

[Watson Trippy]

Losing a good thing and knowing it. Rough. An honest write that doesn't hold back.

Wow. You make me want to cry reading this. So sad. Extremely well written and I love how, regardless of how much you miss this person and still love them, you are willing to own up to your mistakes even without forgiveness.

It takes a big person to admit when they are wrong, it takes an even bigger person to be sorry about it but understand that some things are too hard to forgive immediately. Someday that person may forgive you for your mistakes and the fact that you are willing to wait proves the type of person you are.

I commend you, not only on a poem well written, but on your ability to admit your wrong doings and pray more of the one who was wronged than your own happiness.

Wonderfully beautiful.

[Jaded Perception]

Wow. Very nicely put. I believe you may be the exception to the rule as far as men go :) great job!

[Touché Armada]

Ouchie, I get this feeling of both its ok doesnt really matter along with the ahhhhhhh smashing insides,, well ok perhaps its just me, but wow great write.

[Melinda]

I can understand the feelings being expressed here.. and while it's hard to say because I don't know the exact circumstances, when you make a mistake a certain degree of forgiveness has to be had, ya know? If it can never come from the person you feel you've wronged, at least let it come from yourself, huh? This is really relatable, and I dig that :)..
