Now I guess I'm done with you
though I don't love you any less
I offered you my everything
nothing returned except "Regrets"

but I am more
than even I
suspected
in self-pity's sigh...
I am loved
at last by me...
I feel the joy
in raindrop's sting
sizzling in summer's heat
pavement cools beneath my feet
the only blue is in my eyes
reflections of the future skies.

I love you.
That will never change.
I love you.
That is my refrain.
How sweet it could have been for us
but now I need a hand in trust.
I cannot take another day
of wishing my own life away.
I have the need
to feel strong arms
and tenderness
to right my wrongs
I want to sing
and dance to song
I need to need
to not be strong.

I have yearned too long for kiss
and I love you, please know this.
I cannot type it bold enough.
I love you. But? Can't live unloved.

I need to need
to not be strong.

There is nothing worse than being alone in love, and to not be allowed to be somewhat weak to be cared for.  What a fantastic job you did on this.

"I am loved
at last by me..."

"the only blue is in my eyes
reflections of the future skies."

"How sweet it could have been for us
but now I need a hand in trust."

"I need to need
to not be strong."

Oh Serenity ... such power in these words!  Wonderful thoughts throughout of a new strength, new realization, new beginnings. I greatly enjoyed this inspirational piece of self-discovery!  

Best wishes,
/Kit

Karen. . . there's nothing worse than regret. . . except perhaps the need to be loved. . .

you know that I loved this one. . .

I'll have to agree with walt... the only way I can include all my favorite parts is to repeat the poem. *S* This is great... so much strength, so well stated!

AWESOME POEM!
I really agree with this. Its funny because I'm writing a letter to a guy I dated two years ago, when I decided to open this poem. Spoookkyyy.
I agree with them...
"I need the need
Not to be strong"
Awesome~

what a testimony of love, and love is never wasted, even when we lose it, we gain so much.

Thanks to all. But I still miss him. (I'm kinda stubborn that way.)
