A Sudden Realization A sudden realization Has appeared in my mind These feelings I have for you, No longer am I blind At first I did not see How blatantly obvious it all really was A slow, burning desire Creeping up deep from my soul Sub-consciously I’ve always known, My love for you is homegrown Until recently however, It’s always been hidden behind Hidden behind a curtain, I was afraid to pull back And let these feelings flow freely To show you I really do care This tale I will tell, Is of a time so long ago, It consists of nothing but memories, And a deep longing feeling It started with a phone call, At three in the A.M. I thought it was odd, We hadn’t talked in oh, so long We hit it off Right away But there was a catch, You had a boyfriend You said things weren’t working, And you needed to get away from him We kept talking, And these feelings; they grew 2 weeks later it was finally official, A couple we were, happy as can be Talking until 4 in the morning About all we had seen Our first kiss on the street corner, I kissed your nose, Instead of your lips, So embarrassed, I missed your lips Those days at the bus stop Waiting for a while, Arm in arm, hand in hand We had a lot to reconcile Things took a turn, Down a very bad road This bond that we had, We thought was broken for good We got back together In a few short weeks This would continue, For an entire year Lately, we’ve been talking About all that we had It seemed so perfect, But what went wrong? It got to the point, We never hung out, I never saw your face, I couldn’t take this any more Ever since it finally ended, We’ve always wondered “What if…What if…?” What if it had worked, for that much longer? This sudden realization, It’s been so long, I’ve hidden it for a while I must confess, you need to know I love you so Through thick and thin, The good, the bad You know I’m here This love I have It will not die, Always burning Deep inside |

Sometimes the "sudden" realization comes late ... but one never knows. This is a lovely write of longing. Love, Margherita  |

I'd wrap her in velcro and stick her to my side for good. ·´~`·»Garapan«·´~`· |

Haha, nice metaphor! Yea...we're still not sure though if we want to be a serious couple right now. We're dating casually and think we're just gonna keep it like that for a little bit. We're more than friends but not like a steady boyfriend/girlfriend couple. Not really sure what to call it, sort of like friends with benefits...but that doesn't do justice, it's more than that because we both love each other more than anyone could ever see. |
