Why? I could ask myself this in regards to my life, and never stop writing. *sigh*

You came to me
when I was a little more nieve
and I wouldn't say you took advantage
no
you just took me.
Something i will always thank you for
and never forgive you for
at the same time.

I have wandered
wondered
at my life
and what you put into it
that I didn't have.
Passion
fairytale ideas that I had given up on
your will
your pure sensual core
your peace
and too much more to go on about, really.

You made me patient
and later impatient.

But after a while of waiting
all that was left
was the impatience
that always goaded my heart.

I love you
and you will always be that soulmate
that I can never have.
We have both played our negative
and positive parts in this story.
So why are we trying to blame each other
instead of trying
like we always could
to find common ground?

I love you
but due to reasons
that break both our hearts
you withhold yourself
and therefore
I must let you go
sadly
considering you a friend
and another lesson learned.

I am sad
but also glad of heart
because I know we will be fine.
There will be no end to this goodbye.

Hi, I found this heartbreakingly sad, you almost seem caught between a rock and a hard place. I would think this was first love,but I am not sure. The way your words say everything yet say nothing as if you were afraid to let this go and move on.In your heart it seems that you do not want this to end, maybe you both don't but it can never work all this leads to a very heartbreakingly sad story, can't live together can't live apart, to much water under the bridge. I am so sorry that you can't cut the bonds that hold you both, for it will stop you from opening up to something else, you will always leave that door ajar!, I liked to poem it showed me that sometimes our hearts rule our heads and there is nothing we can do about it. jenny wren

Jennifer- It has been far too long since these old and tired eyes have read your thoughts and your words...
I can promise us both, with words like these being released into the world, I will not take that long break again.

Phenomenal write that has left me heartbroken, and joyous at the resolute acceptance you have displayed.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, "WHAT A RIDE
