Pure

I have a dilemma...

They tell me protect your flower,

Hold on to your card.

No one tells you being pure

Can make relationships so hard.

 

I'm not sure why I like him,

Specific reasons are hard to say.

And though he says he likes me too,

He wants the physical side one day.

 

I've always stood out,

In more ways than just this one.

The athlete, the virgin, the pretty face,

Being different isn't always fun.

 

In fact it's really hard,

To have all eyes on you.

I've always handled it with grace,

But now I don't know what to do.

 

Tiny daggers of despair

Are now lodged in my heart.

I'm slowly coming to realize

This will tear every relationship apart.

 

So now I'm faced with a problem,

Give him myself or give him up.

It's not like it has to happen soon,

I don't even know yet if this is love.

 

But something pulls me towards him,

Makes me want to fight.

I really wish I knew why

Being near him feels so right.

I really do feel that if you do decide to give in, know that it may be just sex to him. No where near as heart felt or emotional as you feel. The guy you share your body w/ should b some1 who you not only have feelings for but has feelings for you too. A good rule o thumb to use is, if worse case scenario were to happen and you ended up preggo would he leave you high and dry, or honor you and by committing to you in the life he helped made. You want your first to be with someone that is honest and true about you. Who you know you can trust with your heart and body. Who won't rush you into anything you are not ready for, and aims to please you as you much as you so clearly want to please him.

This is beautiful. Conviction and conflicting emotion. Be sure of his motives. Be true to yourself. A well written tug of war story. Take care.

the war continues...love finds such incongruities manifest in relationships to be...somehow satisfying.

This is a really beautiful poem, it flows wonderfully and you sound ever so strong yet confused. It's well wrote and seems like it just fits :)

[Adam :P]

First, the poem...it's really lovely. Heart-felt, emotional...you've expressed your turmoil in a way that everyone can feel it with you. And I'm very glad you've returned to rhyming...you're much better at it!

Secondly, the content...always remember, there can only be one first time. When it's done, there's no taking it back. Don't do it because of pressure or fear or because everyone else does or because of what anyone else may think. Do it because it's right for you. Period. The end.
