Seven Plus Two Equals Nine Years!!

For seven years I have loved only one man,
Two years ago you entered my life and touched it, and changed it when I needed someone...
  
     ....I cried, you listened.
     ....I talked and you heard.

For seven years I put up with a lot of bull,
For the last two years I wish I could of spent them with you.

     ....I needed stiches, you took me the hospital.
     ....I needed a laugh, you brought me to my
         knees.

For seven years no acted like I was pretty enough,
For the last two you gave me more complements then I can even list.

     ....I neede you and you were there.

I almost killed myself a year ago, did you know it was you who saved my life?
You weren't there in the physical sense, but in the back of my head I could see your face, hear your voice and felt your touch.
  
      ....I needed to be saved, and you saved me.

For seven years I haven't felt special,
For the last two you've made that possible.

How do I thank you? Maybe someday I will be the one you come to..

For seven years I loved one man,
And for the last two I have loved only you.
All I need to say now is thank you,
I just hope and pray that I'll be able to repay you,
someday...maybe you'll find that you love me to..

Seven years I will be able to spend with you..
not just two in my dreams...

How sad and wonderful at the same time. Sad for your pain and wonderful that you found someone that cared alot about your well being..Remember though that you are worthy, even when alone!! A very good poem!!!

That was very beautiful and spoken from the heart - strange that the lover becomes a stranger and a stranger becomes a love

ah so beautiful. Tomorrow when the sun comes up you can say thank you for another day and when you see a rainbow near remember that your saved from all the pain which once you lingered in. For someone to do so much is such a gift for sure, thank you for sharing.

Beautiful... seems to be full of irony that the man you once loved for so long could not save you... so glad someone was able to save you!
