~~~*~~~ You told me you loved me Unconditionally But I couldn't see it ~~~*~~~ I knew that you loved me I could feel it But was it the kind of love That I was looking for ~~~*~~~ Of that I was unsure I took time to reflect I turned your words over In my head Again and Again ~~~*~~~ I could see the respect In all that you said Then one day, out of the blue ~~~*~~~ I came to realize What I was feeling Was not what you had meant ~~~*~~~ For the hurt in my heart That someone else left Had colored my reality with you ~~~*~~~ On that day I awakened From Darkness to Light with a new kind of joy ~~~*~~~ It was then, Suddenly That I saw my own reflection ~~~*~~~ It was I who had unknowingly Placed conditions on our love ~~~*~~~ When I saw my mistake The veil lifted from my eyes I could then see With clarity ~~~*~~~ How much you truly love me Without strings or limitations Absolute Unconditionally ~~~*~~~ ![]() *~*~*~*~ Benita *~*~*~*~ The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it. -Gen. Schwarzkoff [This message has been edited by BtwnRockandHardPlace (edited 10-29-2001).] |

Hi Benita, I really like your poem. I wrote a poem called Unconditional Love last year, but it was about a special dog's unconditonal love for me. Dawn |

Yes as they say sometimes we are jaded from our past experiences and foolishly carry this to our new relationships...James |
