I know I'm a dreamer
for I believe all is possible.
But the day I met you
there was a connection unlike anything I've ever experienced.

We've talked since then,
about that day.
We became friends immediately, and then..
We held one another, kissed,
You agreed our instantaneous "friendship"
was different than the rest.

I looked in your eyes,
and I saw something there, between us.
The passion we have is unreal.

But you are pulling away from me.
I see you slipping.
I don't want to loose you, and I've told you so.
You tell me what we have is real,
but the timing is wrong.
But you can't "plan" for things like this...

I know that if it's meant to be
It will happen..
So I'm letting you go.
We'll see if you come back...

Beautiful poem!!!    sometimes its better to let go!!!

~~~if you love something, set it free
if it comes back to you, its your,
if it doesn't, it never was~~~

i don't know who wrote this   but one of my friends gave me this poem after a breakup.

I think your doing the right thing, no matter how hard letting go is, if it's meant to be it will always come back to you(I think that's something like the old saying goes?)  So hang in there and have faith in fate!!

Tulip - you are very brave and I hope it works for you - for it is the hardest thing to do.

All you can do is let him go...if he comes back, it was meant to be. I wouldn't recommend waiting around, though. Go on with your life. If you meet and fall in love with someone else, then that is what was meant to be. Great poem, Tulip!

Good ending on this one.  Good decision too.

Trust me on this one tulip, i know from expierence that its true that if you let something go, and its ment to be, it will come back to you. I proved it with the love of my life, sometimes when you love someone enough to let them go, it proves your love more, than holding on when the time isnt right. BEautiful poem. And i know how hard that feeling of slipping away is, you feel helpless and ask yourself a thousand times what more can you do. I have been there.
