[hometext] => Friends and lovers...a dangerous combination...one of the two will surely be hurt...while the other leaves.
[bodytext] => You tell me that you love me
But that I am not The ONE You hold me and you kiss me But we're only "having fun" I told you I was ok with that That friends is all we are But I can't stop my heart From wishing on that star My mind knows our childhood romance has surely faded with the past But I can't help but fantasize That this time it may last You told me it was a lesson About how true love should be But the lesson has backfired It wound up hurting me How could you say you love me Yet say I'm not enough That it's an honor to be with me But I''m not up to snuff That the One you're waiting for who lives up to your ideal Is not me, but another Were your feelings ever real? I read your words from yesterday When another had claimed my heart And now that I have broken free You choose to stay apart I opened myself to you In every way that I know how But your reality conflicts with mine Where does that leave me now? I've tasted you, I've been with you And yes, I still want more But once the lesson is complete Will you be walking out the door?? You say you want to show me What it's supposed to be But you say that I'm not enough Your words are killing me Friends and Lovers Different circles in your view You can have one without the other But you'd prefer to have the two I wish I could separate that which is so clear cut to you But my heart and mind both want you My dear...I'm in love with you Lesson is complete... I now know how it feels To give your heart to someone And be unable to make it real You are a very cruel instructor You've ruined it for the rest Because after having you I cannot settle for any less [comments] => 2 [counter] => 190 [topic] => 2 [informant] => XoIrishXo [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )
