The words you say, they are so sweet
Your faith in me, it makes me smile
You always want what’s best for me
Even when I’m in denial
Your gestures do not go unnoticed
I realize just how great you are
You’re everything I ever wanted
You’re the brightest, most amazing star
You do your best to keep in touch
You compliment me night and day
Your kindness is almost too much
You’re always just a call away
Your gifts are always from the heart
Important dates you won’t forget
you’ve done your best right from the start
So tell me…why don’t I love you yet?
Author notes
Sometimes I wish I could make myself have feelings.

Thank you very much. It's been difficult for me at times to accept that I can't force feelings for someone.

Good job, you laid it all out, such a great person, but if you don't love them it doesn't matter what they do. Such a tricky emotion. Thank you for entering the contest.

awesome!
I thought this was really good...i loved it through and through...it was very sincere, and warming and touching...and the last line was great...
then your author's notes kinda put a spin on the whole thing...you don't need to make yourself have feelings, you got some right there in that poem! it was amazing, and dripping with feelings...

Thank you so much. This poem was written about a specific person who has been great to me. I know he likes me as more than a friend, but I just can't feel the same back.
