You are the most elegant creature I have seen in years I begin to think of future While I am filled with fears It has been a long time Since I have reached for love For someone to be mine To give myself that shove But I find that I want you To feel the texture of your skin To be lost in eyes of blue Why did these thoughts have to begin So quietly I watch you Aching, longing, needing But, feeling guilty as I do This is not in my breeding I wish I were the girl I used to be Who believed and reached And wore her heart on her sleeve But I feel like I'm beached Now I look at my shoes As you smile and walk by I couldn't bear to lose Can't survive another cry So I break my own heart You won't have to even try It is becoming an art And in time I will say good-bye. |

Very sad. It's so true too that most of the hurt we experience in life is inflicted upon us by us. Great expression! |

I can relate to this, but if we never take the risk, we never know if we can stop hurting ourselves for a change...nicely done!  |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) So very heartwrenching these words are! (sad sigh) It saddens me to feel so many inflicting sorrow upon themselves and not having the hope to alleviate. (sad sigh) I pray that we can all find hope and faith in ourselves and believe in ourselves and find joy and comfort beyond the tears. (sigh) So sad but well-written, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

I relate to this quite a lot! I don't consider myself (though others could) as an old woman. But I do have crushes! sigh...what would life be without them.  |

Well written, but if we never take the chance we will never know if we may be happy again. Peaches |

They wouldn't be called crushes if they were easy to handle...that's so sad that you broke your own heart  I know its hard after your heart is broken to risk hurting it again but love is always a risk.-R. "So stop and love and dance and live and laugh until you cry" Edwin McCain |

Thank you all for your wonderful comments. Worshiping from afar is always the safest!!!! |
