To Your Heart Be True

I thought or was it hoped we would get married
in a year or two.
Somehow now that doesn't seem possible.
Partially due to your overwhelming desire
to be free.
I understand that marriage in some ways
inhibit's the act of freedom.
It narrow's you down to just one sexual
partner instead of the world as your playground.
So if marriage is out of the question
boyfriend and girlfriend seems like a possibility.
But you told me you don't want that either.
Do you have anything for me?
Or am I doomed to roam and suffer in love
all alone?
The future doesn't look that bright for me.
Would anyone agree?
Don't understand exactly why I feel like this
yet I am totally inspired to kiss you til
my lips fall off.
To love you til my heart cries stop.
Who could possibly understand when a heart
decides to take control
and from that moment on only a fool
would stop the flow when a heart says go.
It seems to me if I dived 200 feet beneath the sea
I could never find a pearl as beautiful as Michelle
looks to me.
I would not hesitate to bungee jump from the Golden Gate
yet the thrill would be pale compared to
my lovely Michelle.
I never, never want to forget you.
Yet if you are certain you want to leave
of course my heart is with you.
My love I cry real tears for you and me.
What could have been perhaps will never be.
Still I have to say it certainly was a thrill.
Out of all these billions of people
in this world you and I took the time
to look each other in the eye
and for those special days we liked
what we could touch and see.
And the magic that we shared flows within
our precious memories.
So Michelle be the best you can
and to your heart be true
and remember these were the times when I
wrote some poems for you.

What can be said about this, dear James? It is an account of raw, fresh pain, remarkable in its candor, heartrending in its wounded words. (((you))) hugs to you today...keep writing.

James, this is beautiful. And if she can't see those wonderful things in your heart, we can.

JamesMichael,

"To love you til my heart cries stop."

I just love that line...as well as the rest. Oh how I feel your pain... this could have been taking from my life. Big warm hugs to you.

'To kiss you till my lips fall off..'

What a great line, James. I know they say only time heals a broken heart, but it always sounded so condescending to me. I wish you peaceful moments for now. This was truly a lovely read, James. Thank you. Kate

Oh James this was so heartfelt, this will be a rough time for you but we cannot hold someone to us if they don't want to be held, let her go and fly free, the hurt will last a lifetime but you will get through it and you will love again and if it's true love you find all will be healed.....floating winged ~HUGS~ you way and hoping the hurt eases soon.

I can only say that this touched me in a way that nothing has for a long time. Maybe it's timing was perfect for my heart, but whatever the reason, I thank you....and I hope that you find the happiness you so deserve and that it is returned to you a millionfold!! "loveya"

Live...Love...Be grateful for both!!

I feel like I understand exactly what you mean. The head just can not justify what the heart feels and it is so hard to know the truth. Very touching poem.
