Love me not for what you see I am so much more than what meets the eye............ Love me not for what you think I should be I am perfect just as I am - me Love me not for what you can change, distort, or manipulate about me Only I can change myself, if I so choose Love me not for what you wish to gain monetarily I bring to you my heart and soul, that is treasure enough Love me, just love me as I love you.......... Unconditionally ~SEA~ |

Like the thoughts in this poem...I have been trying to just accept others as they are...I realize I can only change myself...and only if I so desire...and I have been....James |

SEA, You have said it all in a very powerful way, setting out from the beginning to end of your wishes to be loved just for being you. I love this poem, and the very beautiful way you expressed yourself. You are one special person. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

'Love me not for what you can change, distort, or manipulate about me Only I can change myself, if I so choose' Great write, SEA! That's right, don't settle for less than unconditional! (hmm...the words 'take my own advice' come to mind...) sp I won't go; I won't sleep; I can't breathe until you're resting here with me... |

SEA, in this little creation you've captured perfectly what everyone wishes they knew they deserved, and for those that already know, you've put into words what they don't have the courage to say. Brilliantly real and full of emotions. I love this one ~Becky~ |

(sigh) Beautiful and so very true! We should all have that feeling of true love without pertaining to just what you wear, your hygiene, and personality. We should all love for who we are, and what beauty lies on the inside, that's the true love. Excellent work, my friend, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

If it is going to be called love then it's gotta be unconditional to be real. You pen wonderfully when you pen from your heart and it is something you truely believe in. |

OH, this has hit home pretty hard tonight. The thoughts I've been feeling I've just read. Good timing It's so hard to feel so deeply for someone and know that they don't feel quite the same way. Good write SEA, Thank you for sharing! Pixydust |

I wonder how many there are who actually believe in unconditional love these days, and I wonder how many who's belief once was strong is fading... Wonderful writing. Anything the heart has to say is always worth a listen. Can I be your willful breeze, Come to touch, Your heart to ease? |
