~Not in Love with Me~
Amy M. Kennedy

I guess the saying is true
We want what we can't have
I am so hopelessly in love with you
About to lose it and go completely mad

Your kind blue eyes stare right at me
But is it me that you really see?
I have told you how I felt only to be told you don't feel the same
I laughed it off acting like I was joking, only to save face and my name
But I really do love you, with all of my heart
I wish you would just give this a chance, at least a start
But you have your reasons, and I respect that
However I can't change my heart, that is a fact
There are times when I think this love is almost reachable
Times when I think this love is almost obtainable
Then I realize its never to be
For the simple reason, you're not in love with me
< !signature-->

 ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~

Amy* You have written from so deep...and not only do I feel what you wrote with but remember a trip down this road not so long ago.....but sweetie any man that can't see what an angel you are....well he's just plain not worth the time it takes to dry those tears!! I know if you are still hurting now my words won't mean a hoot but....someday soon you'll see   **Angel Wing Hugs**


 Hold me for yesterday
Kiss me for tomorrow
But love me for today.

Oh, Amy - unrequited love is so painful.
But butterfly is right

This is so touching and nicely done.
You take care - sometimes we have to
let go for our own sanity.

Amy,
My sympathies go out to you. For I know your pain all too well. Sure it is in the past but we always question ourselves and wonder if things had been different. But do not fret Amy angel. It does get easier over time.
Great poem byu the way.

All my love,
Jeffrey

Aimster,
Wow....you really hit home here.  Know exactly how you feel.  Honestly though, he isn't worth it if all he causes is pain and heartache for you.  You deserve someone who will love you back.  Hang in there!!  Excellent writing!!

amy-girl..
this is a very emotional piece here...
I feel your ache and longing...
be patient...time will tell...somethings take longer...
loves ya my sweet
talk to ya soon-promise  
jm

 Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders
And it makes me want to touch you there.
And the light in your eyes makes me feel
Like there's something much better out there
Something kind...
And I know someday I might be looking around
Trying to find some purpose
Well purpose it can't be that hard to find
As long as I've got the wind...
The wind and your love to carry me.

Amy, I so like this poem.  And I believe it is true, people want what they can't have, but I also believe in happy endings.  I agree with Janet, be patient.  In the meantime, hang onto Jeff's poetic advice---Have a Blast!

Amy,

What a beautiful poem. I feel your pain I'm going through the same thing with my best friend of five years. But what you're doing is great you're emotional expressing yourself as am I and everone else. It's part of the healing process but maybe you might want to let your friend read your poem. After all if we could hide our feelings so well how come the people we love hide it just as well... or better than us? I feel for you but it'll work out in the end.

Signed a touched yet also broken heart
