I used to be a lot like you but decided to give my love away. I found a person I thought was deserving and I gave them everything. You cannot know how amazing it is until you try it.

This person broke my heart... but I would never take it back... not if it killed me.

To be loved by someone absolutely and tell them every fear... every desire.... everything you are and know that they still love you... is well... unbelievable.

I hope that one day, you can let your guard down enough to experience it.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
