It's Not Time To Say Goodbye

I don't know what else I can do, I have said time and again that I love you
Why won't you believe me?

You are frightened that I'll leave you, but I have never said I would... You are frightened that I'll get hurt, but I can't spend my life inside.

I know that you find it hard to say how you really feel, you mask yourself in metaphors and refuse yourself to be real.

You say that you're not normal, but what is normal anyway? I don't think I would love you if you were different from who you are.

I have heard you say I am allowed a life, but what is life if it's full of worry and tears? that is no life at all, I don't want to have that life.

I am afraid that I'll upset you, if I haven't done so already, I am afraid that you'll not trust me and judge me on my morals.

I'm sorry if I hurt you, but these words I have to speak, for if I didn't my eyes were sure to leak, I know that I am worthy of a friendship just like yours.

You see yourself as inadequate, but I have to disagree, if anyone is inadequate it's the people who don't see us, the fun and laughter and great times that we have. We support one another through the tough times and we stand so strong together. It's hard to see at times how we feel apart.

Without you I am nothing, and together we are everything.

    I'm so sorry.
    I love you.

    I can't really say anymore than what that person below me has. I wish I could make things better.
    But then, I wish a lot of things.

    I think it's sad that whoever you are speaking to doesn't believe you, especially if you have told them time and time again as you say.

    It's sad that your boyfriend or whoever expects ypu to stay indoors.
    Have they told you that you have to? They need to stop being so selfish. You obviously care about them or you wouldn't be writing this.
    I guess some people just aren't used to being loved. (or liked)

    Mask yourself in metaphor, that's a terrific line!
    I guess that's why you write then, because you cannot talk to the person in question.

    The fourth stanza is touching, it's not very often people say things like that. I'm not sure if you've seen it, but it reminds me of a line in Bridget Jones's Diary-
    'I love you Just the way You are.'

    If they really do make you feel like you say in stanza five, then they need to get their head out of their @rse and stop being such a b1tch or b@stard. They obviously can;t see the hurt they're causing you.

    Judging you on your morals? Do you believe your partner thinks you're not to be trusted? That you'll sleep with another man?
    That's not trust...a relationship (or friendship) cannot be based upon mistrust or denial.

    I'm sure they never meant to make you cry... Writing is a giood way of expressing your emotion. I use it myself. Although not quite as often as you yet. (I'm still getting a hang on the site)

    Ah, you've said friendship. I'm sorry for any misconceptions I may have had,....
    You know you're worthy, but if this person is treating you like this, surely you are worthy of better?

    I loved the last line... It reminds me of those people who keep crawling back after they have been beaten by their husbands. He's a good person really'

    I hope this person treats you better. You obviously deserve so much more.

    It was a truly great write, very sentimental, full of emotion.
