Is it wrong?

Is it wrong of me
To like talking to you?
To laugh at your jokes?

I have been mad at you for so long
And I have yet to forgive you completely
My heart still aches when I think of the past

But when we talk
Just like friends
Like we used to

I can't help but feel happy
At ease
Comfortable

Past wrongs vanish
Past tears fade away
The sting leaves my heart

Is it wrong of me?
To feel comfort?
To feel like things will be better?

You know me
Better then almost everyone
You were once the keeper of my heart

So am I wrong for liking your smile?
For liking the sound of your laugh?
For enjoying your company?

Sometimes it feels wrong
Like to much has happened
That all hope of friendship is gone

But I can't change the past
I can't go back in time
And change what you did to me

But maybe
There is a chance
That we may be able to be friends
Someday...

Author's Note

I have to see my ex a lot and I realized that when we aren't fighting or ignoring each other I like talking to him, when we are talking like friends. And sometimes that feels wrong of me, to enjoy his company. But maybe over time the past will fade and we will be able to manage a friendship but a lot of time has to past

I think it more wrong not to like his company. Just because you not together - you liked him enough at one time to have a relationship, so its understandable if you can get past the heartache and forgive that you would be able to chat and enjoy each others company..

You can never tell your heart what to do and it's very confusing.

your approach to these love poems (is it ok if I refer to it as such?) is unique. It captivates and engages the reader...have you considered adorning your pieces with a touch of the romantic? The modern mode is certainly...well MODERN! Classical poetry is bound by structure it seems, and pure romantic poetry is pretty imaginary (whimsical, gay etc) where modern is more like reality TV, like real life.

Not that I am any kind of expert on the subject, but a simile or metaphor or two could take what you have and fashion something stunning out of it. I diamond is not a diamond until the cutter cuts...and you are the cutter, and yes, I think this is a wonderful write!

So often, love starts from friendship and even when it's over it's difficult to ignore the spark. It's not wrong to value the company of a past love...Good job on this.

Friendship is great, but I have found that it's a rare end to a "love" relationship. Maybe you've found that rare thing, or maybe
