Almost Persuaded

Perhaps I was almost persuaded it was true
that someone could actually love and care for me too.
perhaps happiness was closing in trying to see if it could be my friend.
perhaps her sweet caress was washing away my loneliness.
perhaps she was too good to be true
and she could never figure out how to like a guy like you.
perhaps she gave you a good honest chance
and you failed to fulfill her yearning for sweet romance.
perhaps her kisses are saved for some other
and she really doesn't want to give me another.
perhaps her admiration needs time to grow
you were moving way to fast and she wants to go slow.
perhaps I was almost persuaded I knew how to love
those thoughts now shattered by you my love.
Could it be my heart is telling me
perhaps I need her more than she needs me.

It sounds as if she does, James...just hang in their just in case she really loves you..if not, I suggest you give her the boot...ya know what I mean...great piece and great fluidity of expressions.

Sea I am experiencing some doubts and fears..I am trying to relax and go with the flow...let friendship or love go where it may...I would appreciated some reassurance from her side..
Thank you Nate I will be hanging around to see where this love goes...so many things I enjoy about her....James

James, this is a great poem, as for Mina, hold on, you know how rare the real ones are. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, and I'm sure that given the chance things will be alright in the end. Good luck anyway.
Beautifully written, and so well written.
Take care

James--

wonderful poem. i'm certainly no
expert when it comes to love. in fact
i've had my share like everyone else of
heart break etc...but i have found the
true love of my life as well. and some-
times things are worth hanging on a
little longer for, or even backing off a
bit to see where it might lead. this poem
was filled with longing and sadness but
i also could see just how much you truly
do love this woman...so no i don't think
you were almost "persuaded" that you know
how to love...you DO. Take care m'friend.
