You're the One
There was a time that I believed,
In fully destined love.
I was a true romantic,
It was all that I’d think of.
Then one day it hit me,
That “love”—it’s just a word!
There’s no such as your “soul mate”,
No matter what you’ve heard.
I lost all faith in the word “love”,
At least when it meant for sex.
I still loved my friends and all,
I still had SOME respects.
But “true love” to me became a phrase,
No meaning, life, or truth.
Seeing couples profess they were “in love”,
To me seemed so uncouth.
The one day, caught in a stupor,
I glanced again at you.
A feeling stirred inside of me,
And I ignored it as it grew.
Yeah, I loved you—but not that way,
That way did not exist.
I told my friends to all shut up,
But still they would persist.
I wrote about you secretly,
And watched you from afar.
‘You’re not ‘in love’,” I told myself,
“Don’t ever think you are.”
I felt so trapped, so tricked and cheated,
Forsaken by the world.
I just wanted to scream and cry,
When I would hear that word.
So I turned again to you,
And saw it in your eyes.
I knew then, as you smiled at me,
Love wasn’t just a lie.
You’re the one who I talk to,
About music, songs, and bands.
Who doesn’t scoff at what I like,
The one who understands.
You’re the one who doesn’t laugh,
Or tease me when I'm wrong.
You’re the one who I come to,
To feel like I belong.
You’re the one who doesn’t mind,
If I wear my old t-shirt.
You’re the one who won’t ever criticize,
Or call me a flirt.
You’re the one who likes ME FOR ME...
And now I’ll always know—,
True love is always there for us,
But it takes some time to show.

Wow, this is just an amazing poem. I love reading love poems and this one was really good. I like the way you began it and it sounded like you were going to diss true love and than just totally changed it around. Very good work.

Autumn!! bravo! God! you always know I LOVE the last line killer you know! that was a great last line. THe only thing was it felt kinda like you had the hair long thing it didn't really flow. You know there are alot of those sappy love poems you know but this had a little more to it!

Very well written, I read this and i was getting tired until you turned it around by falling in love, I do believe in true love and this poem is a great example of that.
