Is This Love?

Another year has passed.
Who says who can't live without whom?
Yes... I continue to breathe,
But am I... happy?

I haven't met anyone since you left.
I haven't been happy since my heart broken.
There is no way...
There is no glue, no threads,
Can mend my heart.

You were one of my first love,
Whom I thought I could open to,
Whom I trusted so much.

You were my friend,
One of my very best,
At least I thought so.

Then all of the sudden
The wind slapped me awake.
There were no secrets
In what you told me.
I was just another "friend"
Of yours.

I should have guessed as much.
You didn't phone at all.
You were always so quiet,
Yet I always thought,
Maybe that's just guys.
And every time when you said hi
Or said "I missed you."
I took your words to my heart.

But I should have known
That it was just my silly dreams
To be your closest friend.

Why are you so cruel
To someone that once loved you so much?
Why do I still
Hope that you would phone me,
Or drop me a line?

I once said I don't know love.
It is true. I never know love.
Love is so abstract, that
That no one can claim has conquered love.
But is this love? I don't know,
For I don't love.

It is indeed a shock when you find that a  love was only one sided and it loses its luster...happened to me many times...take care...James

Love is kind, love is considerate.  Love does not take and not return.  You will know love when you find it my dear.  Joyce

Eliza~
You pour your thoughts so innocently ...~

'The wind slapped me awake.'

I really grasped the imagery in this phrase~

Keep that heart open young lady ... true love will find the door~

There are all different kinds of love, my friend.... I love spaghetti, I love my cat, I love my children, I love my wife, and I love God.... It can all get so confusing.  It seems to me that the intimate love of which you appear to speak and seek is so very very rare indeed and such a great find, a true treasure that needs to be regarded with the value of great great wealth when you finally find it and/or when it finds you... But, you got to keep digging.  I know, I was there were you are before and I made a lot of mistakes trying to make it happen for me, then when I thought no one on this earth was like me and that I surly would be alone for ever and ever... that's when it all began for me.  Oh, I'm sorry that I'm talking way way too much. Just want you to know that you are not alone here in what you feel... I think most of us have been there or are still there waiting and searching for that perfect soul mate, someone special just like you, to come along. God bless.

I think we are all seekers. Another nice read, I enjoy your work very much.

Love is indeed an abstract thing.  Love for one person can very well be different from another persons idea of love.  As for the guy.... well he doesnt deserve your love if he cant see its worth.  I liked the poem.

Eliza:  One of these days, you will find true love and be loved in return! Patience needs to be your middle name!!
