You've known me but a week or so
Still your love you claim you know

And how much better your life would be
If only I let you share it with me

If I show you all, every color and shade
Would it change you; your opinion jade?

What you say and what you see
I think has nothing to do with me

There's more then just a nice smile
Or a good-looking one to play with awhile

There's human hearts that beat so true
Feeling happiness and sometimes blue

I'll smile sweet and pat your hand
Tell you that we're better off as friends

Get to know the girl then perhaps someday
Your love you'll know is here to stay

But speak without the knowledge needed
Then my words you'll wish you heeded




With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.

Sometimes I just don't understand people.  This guy that I just ((let me stress just)) met wants me to move in with him because I'm the woman of his dreams.  He doesn't know me.  Doesn't know anything about the nightmares I have at night, or what's going on in my life right now.  He doesn't have a clue about anyone in my family, or my likes and dis-likes.  So how could he love me?  Especially love me for me?  He said I had a lot of the qualities he looks for in a woman.  Then when I asked like what?  His reply was, "I don't know for sure...but there's a bunch of them."  Silly?  Yes.  Thanks for letting me vent for a moment..

Angel - Nice vent, and of course you're right.  It's simply impossible to convince some people that they have to know you more than superficially to love you.     I have someone that regularly proclaims his love (an online friend) but doesn't talk to me for weeks at a time.  It's silly, but pointless to try to convince him of that.  Just stick to your standards. You'll know when it's real, even if he doesn't.  

To love another person is to see the face of God.

I wish there was an icon with a RED FLAG, because I would have used it!  Be careful with guys like that, they have a tendency to indulge in momentary pleasure...like a cat.  If you put a ball of yarn in front of a cat...the cat just sits there.  The cat's not interested.  AS SOON as you push the ball of yarn the cat goes NUTS! Once it stops again, the poor cat loses interest.  A broken heart may be in the horizon once all those initial gushy feelings end...   Tell him if he feels that strongly about you than he'll wait and get to know you better before he makes that decision.  Send him your deepest poem.. See if it freaks him out.  (lol)   Seriously, be careful.  I've known guys like him, I've made bad choices, and I am still suffering.   Sorry about this long response.....  take care.

I am always saying this even to friends. I'm physically disabled, so there is a lot to knowing me. Somehow, my friends still seem to love me.

Some people only see what they want to see

Do you hear me
Do you see me
Am i someone that you know

Do you understand me
Do you need me
Am i someone you dream of

Do you feel me
Do you breath me
Am i someone you lust for

Look deep to find me
and when your sure it's me
Am i someone you can love

Exactly my thoughts. It takes time and courage to "know" another person. Nice going BWA !

BWA,
How does he even know that he loves you?!?  Exactly, he doesn't even know you.  I went into a relationship with a guy who I once got very drunk with, and then we realized that it really wasn't as meaningful as we thought it was.  We broke up, and really got to know each other;  we've been together, in a REAL relationship for over a year now, and I can honestly say that I love him and am completely devoted to him.  It is the most amazing and wonderful feeling in the world.  My suggestion to you is that you let him get to know you, tell him things about your nightmares, your family, what is going on in your life right now, and if you don't feel comfortable, or if he doesn't feel the same suddenly, then you know it wasn't worth your precious time and effort anyway, right?  Whew!  I think I just broke a few of my fingers!  Thanks for letting ME express myself!  Good luck, BWA!

This was great! I really liked it!



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!

I have so been there, he told me he loved me on the first day I met him. I'd tried to tell him that he didnt even know me and I tell you it didnt even last a week. Think some people just confuse infraution with love.

Life has got to chnage,
Nothing stays the same,
Soon it will be time,
For me to move on.
