the day i finally see
how much I really care for you
and that we'll never be
so I now have to say this
even though its oh so hard
Im sorry if it hurts you
and if it leaves you scarred
I tried to let you have me
I tried to be your man
I tried to give you everything
I tried to help you stand
I tried to make you strong
I tried to make you mine
I tried to block them out
I tried to help you find
anything and everything
you ever did desire
and now I sit and watch
my hearts spark expire
Im still not gonna leave
Ill show im not like them
Im always gonna be there
I guess just as friends
I know it wont be simple
the hardest thing to do
I dont know how ill do it,
to fall out of love with you [comments] => 6 [counter] => 345 [topic] => 48 [informant] => holderofthestone [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

dear, dear holder--- How on earth do you do this?!!?!?!? That honest... that brave... and... that fast!!!!!!!! If anyone knew how fast you wrote this - they'd fall over themselves. It is... as always... incredibly touching, amazingly sweet, and... dare I say, wonderfully different this time.

Still makes me ache - but, in a very good way and still WOWs me. *sigh* Exceptional.

WOW...she just can't really see, how much emotion and feeling you have towards her...otherwise she would fall into your arms...I think you are a very great writer...and know how to capture moments...and make them timeless...*hugs*
