A Feeling Too Far

I understand the reciprocal
nature of a relationship.
The importance of holding feelings
in reserve until a mutual
attraction is secured.

I know what happens
when you allow your feelings
to move forward unaware,
secure in the feelings of your
own heart, but unsure of how
much the other cares.

From these actions my heart
still wears the scars, of times
moved forward sans shared desires.
The pain obtained from
advancing a feeling too far.

James,
    I'm not sure feelings are some things that can be measured in units and dipped out according to other's proportion. I liked your poem.  It resonated here.
