People say that I am a fool,
loving someone who doesn't love back.

I know she may never be mine,
but who will tell this to my heart.

One day she may understand my love,
I dream of such a day too.

She says we can always be friends,
but can we be friends forever.

Someday she will be with someone,
then I'll just be a fading memory.

Maybe I should forget her and move on,
why is this little step so painful, so impossible.

I still hope against all hope,
I will become hers, one day...

It's not a "little" step when one has to walk away from love.  Where would we be without hope?? Very good poem.

James.. I know this feeling well and I hope you find in your heart room to love another.. It's hard letting go, but sometimes it must be done..

 MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND

You should never give up hope on love but you hould also know when to let go of somebody. You will find the right person some time.

Love and hugs,

Touching sentiments James. I think love is summened up best by the saying, "If you love something set it free, if it comes back to you it's yours....."

workin on a heartache aye james..

sad poem...      but good to let go it seems, to let the both of you find yourselves not sufficated by a love uncertain..

hope your heart mends quickly..love will come again      (i realize i'm a little late in my response to this one..maybe things are better by now!  )

A woman never forgets the man who truly loved her, if she tries than his memory will haunt her.  You have left footprints on her heart, you will never be forgotten...

You can never have too much fiction; reality can be such a bore

Thank you Kaile, Lady Lost and Varner! for your encouraging comments..

not through itself,
but through the creatures

Reading this poem of yours makes me feel nostalgic......actually loving someone can be painful......but looking back can be sweet too......coz being able to love.....and having someone to love is a fortunate thing......Thanks for sharing this, I'm really touched *S*

love, michelle
