Array ( [sid] => 1592 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Can't make you love me [time] => 2002-08-02 06:33:51 [hometext] => [bodytext] => You were my first true love and I tried so hard you see
To make you realize the love that came from me
I held you close even when pushed away
I came over even though you didn't want me to stay
I stayed optimistic in hopes your eyes would see
never thinking that you want me to just leave you be
This love I bare is in my soul to stay
I'll never try this hard to show my love
Too scared they'll push me away

I can't make you love me
Though I really thought I could
These words you say hurt
Maybe they're just misunderstood?

You say it wouldn't work between the two of us
but we get along fine
is it because of lust?
There has to be a better reason why
you'd want to make me cry
There has to be a better reason why
You'd go this far to lie

I can't make you love me
Though I tried so hard I know
it's time for me to say goodbye
and let these feelings go . . . . . [comments] => 5 [counter] => 251 [topic] => 22 [informant] => marly [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 17 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )

I remember going through this in the past year... it's so hard to be pushed away. But now I'm best friends with him and that's working better than our relationship ever did. Thanks for submitting this. Tonight's been a trip down memory lane reading all of this stuff!!! Thanks!

even though you have realised its over, it takes the heart a lot longer for it to sink in.
Hand onin there love, it will get better.

This poem brought tears
to my eyes, it's true though
you can't make someone love
you no matter how hard you try
Thanks for sharing this one
Keep em' coming

Its seems that a lot of people relate to this poem... and i find i do too... it feels so true when it felt like it happened the other day... but i resort to other means to cope with this... love is just a game of chance never really know who's gonna come into your life and leave it...
