What will it take to make you believe
That my heart will never change?
The look in your eyes says you want too,
But things seem to be going the same.
So many times we seem so close,
Then you pull away.
When I feel as if we’re getting somewhere
You won’t see me the following day.
The day after you tell me you missed me,
When you were out the night before.
But that night you won’t see me again
And I’m left without you once more.
There are times when it seems,
You want your decision to be made.
Then you back away from me,
Without giving the confusion a chance to fade.
I understand your fear,
But I don’t know what to do.
I can’t make you believe in us,
Or that the things I say are true.
You often ask me questions,
All I’ve answered before.
But nothing that I can tell you,
Will make you believe it more.
We have something not often found.
In this love we can avail.
When it comes to you and I,
In us, I will never fail.
You said at the wedding,
You were talking to Sue.
You told her you wish you had what she’s found.
She said you already do.
Just at that moment I was looking at you,
And you both looked over at me.
Everyone else knows I’m forever,
What is it you can’t see?
You even asked why you couldn’t see it,
But I sometimes think you do.
But your fear blurs that vision,
And you question if my words are true.
At the bar the other night,
You asked me how I knew.
How can I say I’ll love you forever,
That it will always be just you?
The answer is so easy.
It’s just something I feel.
The way we are together.
It’s all I know is real.
I told you I’m going to marry you.
That’s a dream that I treasure.
You wanted to know how I could be so sure,
When we’ve never really been together?
You said that feelings fade.
That a heart can change with time.
I agree with you, that’s true.
But when it comes to you, not mine.
You brought up things from my past relationships.
You, these things seem to haunt.
But every one and everything from my past,
Served to show me what I want.
Because of my past I can say,
The one thing I know is true.
For the rest of my life, without question,
All I want is you.
There are times I think you feel it.
By the look in I see in your eye.
But you won’t allow yourself to believe it.
And I can’t understand why.
Though at times I think you do believe,
The future you want, you see in me.
But the “what ifs” won’t let us happen,
Because if it didn’t work, where would you be.
I tell you I can give you forever,
Love and a family too.
What would happen if the words I speak,
Turned out to be untrue?
What if the life you’ve dreamed of,
Was shattered and fell apart?
What if one day my love did fade,
I left and broke your heart?
What if you were consumed with regret?
What if I’m not what I seem?
It’s all these “what ifs”
That keep us from my dream.
But these “what ifs” are unnecessary,
And your fear can be tossed away.
Because my love is yours forever,
I’ll prove it to you, every day.
After all that we’ve been through,
And all this time, I still feel the same.
Through all our ups and downs,
My heart has never changed.
But not my poems or my words,
Or even the songs I play for you,
Can help you to believe,
That this love is forever true.
All you have to go by,
Is what you hear when silence falls.
At the quiet times when we’re alone,
Listen for your hearts calls.
Don’t believe the words I say.
Believe the sincerity of my voice.
I’m yours and yours alone,
In that I have no choice.
Don’t believe the poems I write.
My kiss will speak for me.
It hasn’t changed since the day we began.
And won’t for eternity.
Don’t believe the songs I play.
Believe the unwavering look in my eye.
It will speak of love that’s true.
Love that will never die.
Don’t believe my promises.
Believe the actions I make.
Believe in the way we are together.
True love is impossible to fake.
To be honest I don’t think you’ll ever believe,
Unless we’re given a try.
My biggest fear is without a chance,
We’ll be faced with another goodbye.

| The truest of love comes from two people believing in each other. You are half way there...hopefully the two of you can find your way to the other half. You are so full of love Curtis...you let is show gracefully. It is sad to see you suffering so much. Take care of you :) |

If only you could imprint these words upon her soul ..... I know what it's like to offer the world to someone, but it's never enough - they still don't get it! I truly hope you eventually get through to her and she realises what a mistake she's making.
Great poem.... |
