You don't love me the way that...you should do

Your face breaks into a huge grin,
Whenever you see me walk past,
The reason you hug me so close is,
You love your heart beating a little too fast.
And you nuzzle my hair because,
You love the citrus smell of my shampoo,
I know you think you truly love me,
But I don’t trust that you really do.

You book tickets for my favourite band,
Drive me down to London to see them play,
You can’t stand my taste in music,
Yet you stay by my side all night and day.
Carrying me home, tipsy after the gig,
After the heel snaps off my left shoe,
You think you’re head-over-heels in love with me,
But I don’t believe that love is true.

We’ll sit alone and talk for hours,
About our hopes, achievements and dreams,
You have an idealistic outlook on life,
But you realise it isn’t always what it seems.
You look to our future: marriage, children,
A little house on the beach with a sea view,
You believe your love for me will last forever,
I don’t think you honestly have a clue.

I know it may hurt you to hear all this,
I know you won’t understand why,
I just hope you accept this is the way I feel,
And I’m not trying to make you cry.
I love you more than life itself,
But I have to be honest and say:
You don’t seem to love me at this moment,
But I pray that you will one day

Author notes

I seem to be a bit of a one-trick pony at the moment with my themes. Oh well

    I like :D

    Liked this a lot! Ive been in the same kinda situation and its so hard to let go when you truely love someone but you know deep down that they dont feel the same.
    I liked the use of rhyme and the way this poem reads, I like poems that tell a story - they kinda take you on a short journey through someone elses thoughts.
