Having feelings for a good friend can be great until they find out how you feel about them. "I Love You" can make relationships grow or die. =/

Now You Know

Before you knew, the world was different
Rivers rushed through valleys
Gardens bloomed all around
The birds sang their lovebird tunes
Silence never had a sound

Your mind was always contemplating
I always found that so cute =)
Your smile was always true
Your eyes were always honest
Your actions never showed regret
You were perfection since we met

I would close my eyes and see beauty
All around the world
The sun was always shining
The sky was always blue
The stormy days were interesting
I smiled with myself
When no one was around
I guess you can say I was happy
With the treasure I had found

Things have changed since then
One day,
The gardens started dying
My life became a dreaful place to be
The birds flew south without a single chirp
And the sun stopped shining at me
The sky turned a sad sad gray
Silence is no longer silent
Now polluted with tears

Your mind is now contemplating
What to do with me
Your eyes are filled with uncertainty
Clearly you are confused why I had chosen thee

"Hello" can no longer mean "I love you"
"How are you" can no longer mean "I care"
"Goodbye" can no longer mean "I'll miss you"
My heart no longer tells you "I will always be there"

Life is no longer happy
Just filled with sorrow and regret
Who knew caring could hurt so much
If I knew I would never have dared

Life is different now
Because you know.

How very sad! You're right that sometimes we take a chance when we tell people things but I think they have to be said, I suppose all of life is about taking chances!

Best Wishes

Excellent writing..and so true..both have to make that leap into love together. I was thinking about one of my past relationships and in retrospect it was always me saying I loved her and not her saying she loved me..but somehow I thought that with enough time and energy and devotion I could win her love...it didn't work like that. My new policy is...if love isn't there now don't think it will ever be there...you will end up always doing all the work..and if you do end up with them you will always be kissing their a__. trying to win their love and they will always be thinking why am I stuck with this person..they are not my ideal..they are at least my second or third choice...this is just my opinion...don't take it personally..it is only my life experience. Having said all that I believe love is always worth a try..we just need to stop trying so hard and let it happen..and if it doesn't we should move on without regrets.

this really spoke to me. i feel like i'm dealing with this now. i want to let everything grow, but so many times i've let myself get emotionally involved and then , *boom* the guy freaks out because i tell him that i care. but it's a chance we have to take, i guess. this was very beautiful. thank you.
