Look at where we are,
and just look how far we've come along.
Just when we thought we'd be so weak,
we turned out to be strong.
We've made mistakes and fell deep down,
into hopeless dismay.
Wondering was it worth the pain,
our minds were lost and ran astray.
A brand new path begins,
as another tragedy ends.
I know we love each other,
even though we are just friends.
We talk about just anything,
our lives becoming clear.
And I know that I will sustain,
for I have you right here.
Our lives and love and values,
brought down to their foundation.
It's time to change and shape my life,
and you're my inspiration.
Sorry bout the madness,
I don't want to fall apart.
For your name will always be,
the one across my heart.
I'm sitting here with memories,
of times we've had before.
It brings a smile on to my face,
I know there will be more.
Frustrations deep within me,
they've began to take their toll.
I know you'll help me overcome,
accomplishing a goal.
Thoughts of you since we both met,
are always on my mind.
We fall down and get back up,
for reasons undefined.
I'm holding out a hand,
I'll do what ever I can do.
To send you on your way,
to making all your dreams come true.
Author notes
2 hearts, option #a. Well, I'll do the best I can to explain this poem.
I've been dating someone for a good while, we fell apart in June. Managed to keep the friendship, and got back together in August. Long distance relationship, something that was probably rushed, and pressure, and unfortunately my untamed yet thorough anger. These were a few factors that once again led to the demise of our relationship.
It came to the point where I really thought, "this is it. Our ties are severed, we're done and over." This is a poem about true love, and not about being in a relationship.
We've somehow managed to salvage the friendship, and we both have that communication that we used to have when we first met. I'm in college, she's working hard and plotting her life, and we believe that it's best for both of us to figure out where our lives are going, and to grow as friends so that we can justifiably say, "yes, I want to be with you forever."
Often times, people are so eager to rush "true love." I'm patient, and not making any plans, or drawing any conclusions. I'm just letting the tide flow, and trying to grow. This, my friends is the key to true love.
I hope I'm not out of line saying this, but "I love you Sarah."

Love is great
When you finally do find the love of your dreams, you should hold on with all you've got. Distance makes the heart grow fonder onlt works with true love. If they stray, they wern't really the one. Good luck in the contest, but more so in life! The Shaker

Well, thanks for the comment, I agree with you.
It's been a while since I wrote this, and upon rereading it I let out a laugh and got lost in memoory. Aaah, oh well. I guess I was partially correct.
One of us indeed overcame, stands tall, and doesn't regret, and that person is me. It's amazing, I wrote this about a month and a half ago, and so much has changed. I guess the caring one was exposed, and the one who didn't care was shown. We were both to blame for our reckless intent in the relationship. She is however souly to blame for the friendships wither and decay. Don't get me wrong, I still care about her, but I suppose I don't really love her. Although she'd probably love to claim that I never did, I put my tush on the line in times I didn't have to.
Well, it's over now and I choose to view it from the positive and peaceful side. Had that mess never happened, I wouldn't be who I am today. I have a million possibilities that lay before me, for love and for life. Next time is gonna be the last time, because next time it's being done right. If I am ment to find love, it will spawn from a fabulous friendship with a female that lasts for quite a bit of time. Only then, can I truly utter the words, "I love you."
