Almost Lover

Could this be fate
Or just another one of my stupid mistakes
I have never loved one as much as I love you
The way you smile brings butterflies to my stomach
The little kiss's you give me leave me smiling for days
When you hold my hand I feel like I'm flying
But will this love last
Will you stick around for once
We have been here so many times
So close to being happy
Yet for some reason you back away
Become scared to stay by my side
Why is that
What is there to be afarid of
The fact that someone loves you
That there is someone out there willing to do anything for you
Are you afraid I'm going to leave you like the last girl did
Do you feel like your setting yourself up for another dream not so true
I wont do that
I wont break your heart
I know that fear
You yourself have made me feel it many times
I have handed you my heart and at one point you threw it back at me and ran
All I want is to be with you
To make you happier than you have ever been
Just give me that chance
I promise you wont regret this
I can be the one that never runs
Are you going to be my one true love
Or will you turn out to be another one of my almost lovers

    I can relate pretty well with this poem, the doubts of having a relationship. I think it stems from the desire for perfection, but we just aren't built to be perfect. Some people think the solution is just forgetting about what could happen, however if you are anything like me, you're too careful to ignore the things that can go wrong, because they've gone wrong before.
    The only solution I've found for this is to be ready to hurt in love for the other, be ready to bear their problems and trials, be selfless, because if you are both this way, it doesn't really matter what problems you have...

    What a longing plea. It's something I think everyone has felt at one time or another in their life. Your words brought it to light beautifully.

    Beautiful

    I know exactly how this feels...but I can't blame her for backing away. She returns feelings for me to an extent but her parents, the rules kill us:

    "What is there to be afraid of
    The fact that someone loves you
    That there is someone out there willing to do anything for you"

    She knows I'll always do everything for her, but that's not the issue we deal with; it sucks.

    "All I want is to be with you
    To make you happier than you have ever been
    Just give me that chance
    I promise you wont regret this
    I can be the one that never runs"

    I love this because that's all I want to do as well. Just let me love you, make you happy. If only it was so simple. I'm glad there's someone going through something similar to me. Great write 9/10! Keep up the good poetry
