In Reminiscence

In reminiscence,
In my first crush,
It felt good but was brief.

In reminiscence,
To second crush, my best friend,
It was more like
Having an online friend-
All was obssesion.
All there wasn't love.

In reminiscence,
To my first ex-boyfriend,
I never sacrifed.
It was more like
Having an attentive ear-
All was gratitude.
All there wasn't love.

Sometimes I wonder
Whether I know love.
Is it possible
A selfish person knows love?

Sometimes when I hear
Love songs ringing at night,
I wonder am I
Asking for too much.

All I ever want
Is an attentive ear.
All I ever want
Is someone read my peoms.
All I ever wish
Is someone like my voice.
All I ever wish
Is a friend, a company.

Such friend doesn't exist,
I just realizing,
That no men can be friend
With women without love.

I'm not even sure
Who I really am,
What goods I possess,
So who I am to claim
To know love,
If I don't love myself.

In reminiscence,
In my past I love nobody.
In future,
Will I grow and break from my shell?

In reminiscence...

Eliza - this is a question that all young people your age ask themselves....and people my age too....lol. You can have a friend that you can love, but not be "in love" with. Does that make sense? I hope so. You just have to tell that person from the start that you love them as a friend, before you break their heart. That holds true for them as well. If they are honest, they will tell you exactly how they feel about you. Life is a series of lessons, isn't it? Well done. hugs to you, Chris

"Hope" is the thing with feathers-
that perches in the soul....

thanks Chris...it could happen, but it rarely happen...to me anyway. Not easy to find someone that like to read my poem who also like my voice, who also willing to lend me an ear. True friends are hard to find, not to mention close ones. But then, sometimes I think I ask for too much and content with too little.

We all ask perhaps more than we should.  The most important thing is to give.  Giving will always make you happier than getting.  Love, Joyce
