I called you on the telephone
Just to hear you say the words
The words I love to hear
When you say them my darkness goes away
I told you I loved you on the phone and I waited
But all you said was aww and I know
Like I was all alone in those feelings I have
You didn’t reply to the words that I did say
I sometimes wonder what your thinking
If your feelings mimic my own
If so why don’t you say the words to me
I feel like you don’t truly love me
I tell you how I feel
and how you make my life all good
Don’t I do the same for you
If I don’t I surely wish I was
I love you so much with all of my heart
And I wait to hear your voice say the same in return
So I pose a question to you my love
How do you truly feel about me
Tell me are you ashamed
To declare your love
If so how could your love for me be real
I would scream from a mountain top
Or a street corner that I LOVE YOU!!!
So again I ask you true
How do you feel about me for real

i am what i am and that is all that i am and all that i shall ever be......so deal with it

Well. I know HER Pov too well...
It's not that we don't like you guys when we're dating you. We might even be able to say it's love... but it's hard, it makes us vulnerable, it admits how strong our relationship is becoming. Those words are so big... we want to make sure we mean them 100%.
Well, that's how I feel.
Good luck...

Love the poem!!
I think this whole "saying I Love you" thing is too overwhelming!
I never told the person I love that I loved him until I was totally sure of it (which was approximately 5 months after he asked me if I love him like he loves me) .
It's mostly because of fear of getting hurt or who knows what....... Believe me, it has nothing to do with you! So don't freak yourself out about it... give her some time...
Good luck!
Keep posting!

Love can be a scary word, a dangerous word, an empowering word, a painful word, a blissful word, etc, etc... It's more than a word when truly meant and I know I, for one, will NEVER use it until I am 100% absolutely postiviely SURE about it... but keep in mind there is a difference between loving someone and being IN love with them... you can love lots of people but being IN love with someone is hard to come by... Hope everything works out for you     Give it time!

Sugar....that's first statement is a invalid generalization....so i'll disregard it....
but anyway.....lemme just say that LOVE is something not to be thrown around....should be said only when felt. I understand your questioning since she does not say it....it would be horrible for YOU to love and for her not to and only feel a deep affection. The imbalance of feelings between partners can cause frustration for the one who cares more due to the lack of care by the significant other.

Figure it out....

Nice poem, by the way!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

It is good to feel, love... but it certainly is nice to hear... at least once and awhile.
Good observation.

This is a very nice post.  I'll agree with Javi.  Love isn't something that can be thrown around nonchalantly.  It's something that goes far deeper than "I like you a lot."  It's so much more than that..
I never said those words to anyone before now, and even so, I know I mean them and every time they come straight from the heart.
Okay, sorry for rambling, but it really bugs me when people throw around the idea of love like it's nothing, because it's quite possibly the strongest emotion that can be felt.
Nice work..
And don't stress about it.  Maybe she's nervous about it?  Anyhow, good work, and I enjoyed this.

sometimes people say "I love you" and mean, "do you love me".....you should just ask if you want to know
