There is a very thin line,
Between love and being in love.

Now I'm wondering,
If I've crossed that line.

The day you kissed me,
I nearly melted.

I couldn't help,
But fall for you.

If you love someone dont put their name in a heart,
put their name in a circle, because a heart can be broken
but a circle is continious.

Tamma: This is a good poem but compared to your others, it is mild. However, powerful emotions were described and there is much potential.

Keep 'em coming Tamma.

Nice work Tamma but I am confused. You refer to a difference between love and being in love, could you explain this for me? I am not sure where you are coming from with this statement.

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shodows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face...

William Butler Yeats

Well I love my friends, but I'm not "in love" with them

even if they want me to

I'm not.

If you love someone dont put their name in a heart,
put their name in a circle, because a heart can be broken
but a circle is continious.

Now, good poem, but I think you've failed to adaquately describe the difference between loving someone, and being in love with them.
Now sometimes you love a guy, he's your protector, your brother, your friend, you and him have enormous amounts of affection for one another, but if the two of you tried dating, it would fail miserably. Of course, however if he became ill, you'd feel horrible and take care of him.
Now, on the other hand, you can be hopelessly in love with someone, and be willing to die to be with them, and would give up your life to save theirs. The thought of being apart scares you terribly. Now, that is the difference.
