She told me love is blind.
I'd see what I want to see.
That's why it hit me so hard,
When you walked out on me.

I though that things were perfect,
Up to that very day.
I was standing there in shock,
As I watched you drive away.

The signs were always around.
You working every night.
Secret phone calls and letters,
That led to many fights.

We never had a real love,
Just a bad case of lust.
Once that attraction wore off,
You no longer had my trust.

What really makes me sad is,
We thought our love was true.
And it took us way to long,
To figure what friends knew.

It took me longer than you,
To see that things should end.
Too bad we found out too late,
Or we could have stayed friends.

Dedicated to my best bud...We tried our hand at love, separated, then came to our senses and figured we still needed eachother, as just friends though.

hey i'm glad it worked out for you in the end..your poem is very beautiful.

Now night arrives with her purple legions
Retire now to your tents & to your dreams
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth
I want to be ready. - JM

Hi there!
I'm so sorry that things didn't work out in your relationship, but I'm so glad that you are still able to be friends. This is a great piece.  < !signature-->
