Fond of You

Are you crazy
thinking I could
love only you.

That would be
extremely hard
considering all you
have put me through.

Then again, my heart
does seem awfully
fond of you.

And I always
consider the
desires of my heart
in everything
I do.

Hmmm, sounds like there might be more than
just a fondness within this piece.

Thanx JM

fondness is not to be confused with Love I think..
and I do believe there is a difference.

Enjoyed your honest thoughts as usual.

You could hurt me with your bare hands. You could hurt me using the sharp edge of what you say. JEWEL

Yes, James, I do too. I know that you've probably read where I've written that my Gary and I started out as friends before we ever fell in love. And now, after being in love for over five years, we are still best friends. There's nothing that the two of us can't talk about to each other. I believe that you have to  like  someone before you can  truly  love  them. Don't you?

I really liked your poem, James.
Hugs

This is the part that scares me...don't play games with each other....it's not a game, it's real life and feelings...and if you feel this way, then by God, let her go...cause this happened to me..and it hurts God awful hard and the scars are terrible, trust is broken...if you consider seeing each other again...trust "must" be earned...and it take want and desire to do so...not just a fondness, but much more...be careful James.  I mean no harm...and I'm sorry if you take offense, only speaking from my heart and a very painful experience.

Thank you garysgirl, passing shadows and LeeJ for the nice responses...
LeeJ I am sorry you had a bad experience...hope things are good now..
Do not worry, my girlfriend is flying in from L.A. a little later today...I assure you that things are fine with me and her...many of the things I write are partially based on true events or desires and many of the subjects I write about are ideas from movies or comments I overhear or thoughts of past experiences, past relationships...just feelings I wanted to put onto paper...james

Jerking the chain of my heart.
It hurts..
But a Great Write.
