The river and the city lights, the high-rise on the other side:
It was cold, so you grabbed a blanket, but we didn't cuddle.
And it was late when we started and later when we left,
But you didn't seem to notice and I'm always up that late.
Sometimes you scare me, because even though you aren't mine,
You can make me so happy, and that's power over me.
I almost called you one night, drunk and depressed, but I didn't,
And I would want you to call me if it was you, but still...
Do I take you in my arms and claim you for mine, or wait?
For what? For you to fall in love with me? It's all I want.
And it's the one thing you can never ask of someone, to love:
So we sat by the river and talked, and for now, that's enough.

...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

Keep your eyes open, eventually something will happen....
That's exactly what I was going to say. You beat me to it! I think EVERYBODY goes through that AT LEAST once in their lives.
Great poem, mccreadyisgod!!!
truer words were never spoken.
hugs and happiness to you
Doesn't stop me from WANTING to ask.
Much appreciated...
then ask, if this is someone that is worth the risk of breaking your own heart...ask.
i spent a lifetime longing quietly from afar. waiting for "the" someone.
last year, i believed with every particle of my being that i had found that someone, ya know how i knew? i was more afraid of letting them go without ever knowing what we could be, than i was of keeping my heart safe. i'll tell you something else, it didn't work out.
did it hurt? naturally. i'll never find the words to tell you how sad i was about it. but i'll tell you the most important thing i learned. i didn't die, it wasn't the end of the world or of happiness, love still exists and i still believe that one day love will call me by my name. even if a relationship or a friendship or a life isn't what it used to be, love doesn't die...it changes, evolves and stays with you forever. when the sadness subsides, you are able to replay all the memories that made you cry with a smile instead. it won't hurt to think of all the reasons you loved, the characteristics you were drawn to, the nuances and the precious ways that someon had. and you will once again be thankful to possess a heart that can love.
so ask yourself, and if your heart responds with that blessed infinitessimal yes....then ask.
whatever you decide...happiness, hope and hugs for you and your beautiful heart.
asking doesn't always lead to getting. i know you can't conjure love in someone else's heart, i never intended to suggest that the matter can be pushed....just that hiding one's heart isn't always the answer.
here's hoping for us all.
and my apologies to our friend MIG for hijacking the thread.
Too much drama.
All I know is how happy she makes me.
