This is a poem I wrote to a special girl. We have been falling in love with each other off and on for over 7 months. I am still in love with her, and she is not sure. I gave her this poem, along with a friendship necklace for Christmas. Feel special if you read this, because you are the only people besides her that I am sharing this with.   Enjoy!


Look at it closely,
This little trinket.
It could be worth anything,
It’s what you make of it.

I have already,
Made something of it.
And with your permission,
I would like to share it.

Well tell me?
Do you mind?
Have I gained your full attention,
For this special time?

Then take up the necklace,
Hold it in your hand.
Remember that these are the true feelings,
Of a growing, sensitive man.

This piece of metal you hold,
Represents to me,
Something so special,
I could cry easily.

I’m not after your pity,
I don’t want your sorrow.
I want you to realize I will love you,
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

I pray you to wear this,
Please don’t say no.
For me it’s a sign of hanging on,
As well as letting go.

As I write this,
My mind is clouded.
There is so much pain,
Anger has amounted.

I try to push through it,
With God I’m successful.
I have conquered my pride,
I have stomped down the Devil.

But after all of that,
I just can’t ignore,
There’s still a hole in my heart,
But who, or what, is it for?

Maybe I’m crazy,
Maybe this is a phase.
But ever since I’ve known you,
I’ve given God praise.

We’ve both made mistakes,
Like those in the past.
But I feel like that chance,
Was not the last.

I have humbled myself,
Bowed down to the Lord.
He tells me to be patient,
He’ll give me what I’m waiting for.

What am I waiting for?
The answers are few.
It’s something to fill that space,
I think it could be you.

But I know nothing,
So I must say,
I might never have you,
(as a wife anyway)

But that is far off,
I see now something better.
That something is our friendship,
Which I will cherish forever.


Our friendship is a close one,
Let’s keep it that way.
Let us remain close,
Even when far away.

I will not lie,
Inside, I want more.
But God has shown me,
That’s not what its time for.

I don’t know if you are the one,
Who will fill that hole in my heart.
But to think that you are not…
That thought tears me apart.

Look at the two hearts,
Inside that medallion you hold.
Those hearts are ours,
These next few verses are very bold.

The hearts are very close,
Like yours and mine.
Inside I hope they become one,
Of course, in due time.

But that is mere hope,
Not the future, nor a promise.
But to know there is a chance…
In that I find solace.

Despite what you think,
These feelings are true.
I am willing to be patient,
And wait for you.

Don’t let this necklace,
Be a burden to you.
Notice it says we are friends,
Because I think, for now, that will do.


As long as we are friends,
Let us wear these round our necks.
Reminding us that until it’s time,
Love can have dangerous affects.

The main thing I hope,
That this gift will do,
Is keep me humbled,
And safely closer to you.

I have done lots of thinking,
And talked to many friends before.
You know what I’ve decided?
True love, is worth waiting for.

Well, my poem is almost done,
I’m not sure, um, what now?
I think I know what to say,
But I’m not sure how.

Maybe I’ll be frank,
I’ll stand up and say it,
I am in love with you,
And I have tried to change it.

Believe me when I say,
Very often I don’t want it.
It makes no sense to me,
But I am unable to stop it.

My heart is throbbing,
I think I’ll close with this:
I have no idea what you will think,
After you read this.

Have a merry Christmas,
Give thanks to the King.
Oh God, oh God,
I hope I’ve done the right thing.

Hi everyone. Sorry, I haven't posted in a long time. I am a real busy person and I feel bad because I don't have time to read and reply to all the great poems I know go through this forum everyday. When school gets out, expect me hear everyday! Thanx a bunch for making this a great place.

This was incredible.  I loved the entire thing.  I think my favorite verse was this:

"As long as we are friends,
Let us wear these round our necks.
Reminding us that until it’s time,
Love can have dangerous affects."

I hope to see more posts from you
