You said "I don't"
I said "I do"
You said "I won't"
I did for you
You said "I can't"
I could and did
You said "I need"
I did not give

Perhaps when all
Is said we failed
To understand
What love entails.

(big hugggssssss) Oh Kevin, this is so so sad! Your words are so sincere and honest and speaks with tears! (sigh) My heart is with you, and I pray that you find love that your dear heart can relate to! (sigh) Sad but wonderful, dearest friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kevin, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Kevin, This is very good.  Sort of a 'he said'-'she said'  Very well done!  ~Nancy~

i thoroughly enjoyed this. you might want to look at line breaks, especially near the last stanza, just to make it easier to read, but overall i thought it was really wonderful because it is both sides of a conversation that most of us usually only hear one side of.
peace,
