You came back
after my heart forgot.
You came back to remind it
how it feels to want.
Here I sit, an ache in my chest,
tears hide behind my eyes.
my pride just won't let you see
the fears inside, the tears I've cried.
My mind screams "I can't let you in!"
My heart cries, "I never had you out!"
I wish you'd stayed away
and let me pretend I didn't care.
Pretend I don't love you.
Now, my aching heart is an angry reminder
of love...
unreturned,
unknown,
unwanted.

Welcome to the family! This is very good and so true! Just when you think you are over someone, they walk back into your life and you realize you aren't.

I like the poem. Never let him see you sweat.
