"You're in love with me?" He said incredulously Making what I felt seem like naivete He smiled at me indulgently As if I had no notion of what 'placate' means I felt like a fool, an idiot it seemed In the blink of an eye my feelings he creamed For a moment I prayed it was just a bad dream It amazed me how quickly I was dismissed And even with my shame I still yearned for his kiss When he walked out my life he was deeply missed To have his love was my one and only wish But on my shoulders, crashed reality Now I hide behind a facade of ambiguity And I now stand in a world of clarity Because now I know... That just because I love him Doesn't mean he'll love me "The only love there is, is the love we make."--Prince |

This was a wonderful write. Very enjoyable but a bit sad. Life is always dealing out lessons, some are easy to learn and some are so hard and painful. '...Because now I know... That just because I love him Doesn't mean he'll love me...' Marti " My wrinkles are badges of courage and reveal that I am a Mother." |
