The truth is

You would show up at my house at 3am.
You would tell me of your latest trials.
You would invite me to sleep in your bed.
And lay my head on your chest.

I never said I was in love with you,
but the truth is I still am.

Remember that first night...
He asked if I was your girlfriend.
Windsor...that was fun.
I still have the fake flowers
(that in your drunkenness you thought were real).

I never said I was in love with you,
but the truth is I still am.

We said it was over once...
Then you asked if you could still hold me.
You said that I was cool to hang out with.
You never said that it would come to an end.

I never said I was in love with you,
but the truth is I still am.

You said that we should be "just friends".
You never said that we would never speak again.
You said that she was wonderful,
You said that she was yours.

I never said I was in love with you,
but the truth is I still am.

You said that I was mean to her,
You told me that I lied.
They said you wouldn't come around,
They said because of me.

I never said I was in love with you,
but the truth is I still am.

I begged for you to talk to me,
You didn't need to be mine.
I told you that I cried,
And asked you if you cared.

I never said I was in love with you,
but the truth is I still am.

You said it didn't matter,
You said we were no longer friends.
You never spoke so harshly before,
You never turned and walked away.

You never said you were in love with me,
and the truth is you probably never were.

I see you now from time to time.
Alone on the street,
or with her by your side.
I never stop or say a word.

I never said I was in love you,
but the truth is I still am.

    this is a nice write, the story is relatable however its always best to show and not tell the readers what you are trying to express.
    thank you for your entry!

    good

    alright so this is a rly good poem but its not what i was looking for for the actor. the funny part is that is that this is rly close to the situation with the asshole. so yeah it still works into it. funny how strangers can have such similar situations. but yeah so good write and thanks for entering

    I don't blame you for your heart being broken, this must've hurt you a lot. To be close to someone, then for them to push you away and tell you that you are only friends and they have someeone special, it really would hurt. Love the way you changed it from 'I love you' to 'you never loved me', gave a nice feel to it, though it made me feel really sad. I'm glad you moved on though, he wasn't worthy of your love.

    Anyone who is so selfish to play with a persons heart such as what you described here is not worthy of ever finding and enjoying a true devoted love such as what you have expressed.
    Clearly you were the friend to him, he was never a friend to you and doesn't deserve your attention.
    I know that it's not easy and it doesn't seem like you will ever get over the heartbreak he inflicted upon you or to find a person who will treat you as you deserve, but you will.
    Someday you will be loved by someone who is capable of loving someone.
    Thank you for entering this into the contest it is most touching and written from the heart and soul.

    Yes, it hurts to have been abandoned in such a way after giving your friendship and love to someone who doesn't really appreciate it.

    Hmmm... seriously, I just want to slap the guy for handling your heart so recklessly. I hope you heal, I hope you know you deserve happiness, and I hope you find it!

    So sad

    I often wonder when things like this happens why it happens are people just visiting your heart acting likea friend when they need you or was your suconcience telling you it would never last protecting your heart from a horrible crash

    ok so the person you're talking about needs to make up their mind. do you think that the person is just in love with being in love. i wish you good luck in my twin's contest.

      the truth is...i don't know if i could forgive him. i miss him like crazy, but i don't think the guy i miss even exist anymore, or if he ever really did.
      thanks for the comment.

        well, if you want..you can talk to me about it! An outsiders opinion sometimes helps, or at least just to vent.

    this poem is full of detail and tells such a sad but true story. It's crazy how things change and you never understand why. Great write and good luck in my contest.

    Living in the past brings nothing but pain. Walking forward while looking behind you will just make todays issues smack you in the back of the head.

      says the guy who when drunk shows people a picture of a girl who lives a million miles away and who he hasn't seen in God only knows how long...
      anyways it was for a contest about love...truthfully i'm not in love with him, but i do care about him and it does hurt that we can't be friends. i've accepted that though. and the way he's been since he got with melissa, i don't know that i ever could be friends with him anyways, but that doesn't mean i don't miss him.
