If I told you

If I told you my fears would it help?
I want you to be with me
I need you, can't you tell?
and I don’t know how to get there
with all your stuff in the way
and with my own boys keeping me so busy

but I want nothing more than you
and I want to get there somehow
I’m afraid I’m taking too long
and that you're getting upset
I’m worried you’ll give up
and go on without me

    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!

    But riantLoVEsu...you and I are not feeling it at all the same!!

    Love motivates me to change and feel more energy, but not anger! :)

    It makes me want to wake up, open up, and move. :D

    hi justam...

    perhaps you have never truly lost your soul to love??

    A thousand pieces of woe...

    Still sure ya wanna go?

    You're a wild one who ever you are! :D

    I'm in the middle of falling in love and it's all new to me.

    Different than before, so today is probably not the day to ask me anything... I'm learning new stuff and it's interesting. :)

    okay. But how do u call it love and find yourself worrying?? Somehow that doesnt ring true to me. That is usually what a boy will do. You know when youre going head over heels you dont usually see well enuf in front of you to worry so soon..... :)

    So how do u like this song?

    Save Me ~ Aimee Mann

    You look like... a perfect fit,
    For a girl in need... of a tourniquet.
    But can you save me?
    Come on and save me...
    If you could save me,
    From the ranks of the freaks, Who suspect they could never love anyone.

    'Cause I can tell... you know what it's like.
    A long farewell... of the hunger strike.
    But can you save me?
    Come on and save me...
    If you could save me,
    From the ranks of the freaks,
    Who suspect they could never love anyone.

    You struck me dumb, Like radium
    Like Peter Pan, or Superman,
    You have come... to save me.
    Come on and save me...
    If you could save me,
    From the ranks of the freaks,
    Who suspect they could never love anyone,
    Except the freaks,
    Who suspect they could never love anyone,
    But the freaks,
    Who suspect they could never love anyone.

    I find these lyrics and things you put up not really relevant to the threads you put them in.

    I'm sorry.

    I'm trying to be kind to you, but I think you're barking up the wrong tree.

    I can tell you something about love. I was with my significant other 14 years and we had 2 kids together. I left because he became violent, was too wrapped up in money and refused to get help. We are now back together, expecting another child and go to counseling. We both did alot of work inside of ourselves separately to try to get closer to the "same page" and understanding ourselves and each other better. Fairytale love with white knights in shining armour are nice stories and if you are lucky enough to get that more power to you. What I have learned about love is that when you put your whole heart and soul into it you are vunerable and they will hurt you and you will hurt them. Nothing and no one is perfect and the expectations we put on others can't work, they aren't us and were not made to be. Unselfish love works because if you focus on them and they focus on you the give and take is more balanced and natural. To me it is like 2 birds flying beside each other - together but apart, balanced. Love that endures is not made of roses, there are thorns and many obstacles but it takes a commitment to weather them, a commitment needed by both parties. I think it is wonderful when people fall in love and sad when they can't make it work but I think they need to go into it realistically and accept that it is hard work. Good luck to you justam! :):)
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,

    Well justam, I will laugh at that (that is my name here.) I surmise I am older than you and have had if not just as difficult curves thrown my way, at least some you might be (might not) be able to relate. You know why I posted that song and why i thought it relevant? Because sometimes we get so caught up in the feelings of love and the ideals of it, and in a certain mood to me, it often time strikes me that is NOT the reality of love but just a freak thing we create in and around ourselves, out of our own needs.

    Thats what I was trying to say in maybe an awkward round about way, but I gather you dont understand. Thats ok. Thanks for trying to be kind, but you can say anything you want to me...at this point I am not offended by much of anything. But do know that in my way, I too, was trying to be kind to you...I think and you can get mad if you want ( i know i dont like anyboy telling me anything about what 'I feel' either)...but anybody can see all the stuff you post...and to not see the build up to let down,... you'd have to be some kind of blind. But I wont post to you anymore. I dont want to upset you.

    Riant.
  • riantLoVEsuriantLoVEsu Posts: 74
    oh and just wanted to add (it wont let me edit) that I really hope what I wrote does not make you mad. I want to stress, I know what it is to 'need' and want somebody to save you from all that ails you. And just so you know -- I am not even myself immune, I am living with an ex I have divorced twice already and cant seem to leave...like he's got some fuxing hold on me...and at the same time I am unhappy here and have gone out on a limb so I can tell you at least 4 different guys 'I think I have feelings for too'...again, sometimes it all makes me feel like a freak. Like what am I doing,..what is it I seek? Now, you can tell me thats me, and its not you, but what I find, is thats how it starts to run with the distance thing. At least what I write are these things I have searched in myself and what I think sometimes of them. ::shrug::

    ok thats it.

    :)

    I know you're trying to be helpful. I realize that's your motivation, but all this really feels like a violation to me.

    I'm a real person, in love with another real person, not some fantasy illusion, and I'm worried at the moment. It doesn't mean I need all this extra stuff thrown into my notes to myself.

    It just kinda hurts me. Can you understand that? I feel like you're putting graffiti over my love letters.

  • riantLoVEsuriantLoVEsu Posts: 74
    yes, i do. thats why i wont do it anymore :)

    But can I ask you something? If it was private and all...why do u post it for public view??? just cause ..you feel like it...you need to? Or are you reaching someone here and we all are the intruders?

    sorry, just thought i'd ask.

    It's not that these aren't for public view!

    However, people hang paintings on walls for people to see-- not for others to paint on top of, cut up for a collage, or fling mud on.

    Does that make more sense to you?

    then why post it here?

    you're sending private messages in the disguise of a poem, let the poem speak for itself.

    i agree that there should be no worry whatsoever with true love ~ thoughts become things.

    I answered this already.

    I wish you ladies would just leave me alone.

    I really don't have any interest in all your manipulations in conspiracy theories!!

    Justam, Relax. Ignore it. I think what you wrote is beautiful, what you are feeling is beautiful and I believe there is every chance your love will find its way (some people are sceptical when they've been hurt, but I am more positive as it seems you are too, so enjoy what you are feeling). And thank you for sharing. It is a piece of art and a piece of beauty that made me feel. Thanks. By the way it sounds exactly like what I wrote and felt at the beginning of my relationship with my now fiance and father of my unborn child so I know where you are coming from and I have a positive story to share with you.

    No worries, I know how easy it is for one person to take a thread off track and then so difficult for it to get back on track again. Plus I could see that this was getting upsetting when there was absolutely no need for it after such an honest and open poem. Don't let it put you off sharing in the future. Best of luck in your relationship, stay positive.

    it was interesting to read all the bouquets and bricks in this thread. and i won't comment on the rightness or wrongness of what was said. but what i will say is that justam, i totally got your poem and i also understand your need to share it.
    and that is what writers do. they share. they write what they know and they share it with us. writing helps exorcise demons that need to be gotten out. it helps us make sense of the world around us and the world within us.
    because we share doesn't mean we are looking for solutions from those we share with. the reader may see a reflection in what they read and while that's fabulous- for them- it may not be so for the writer.
    no one knows what is being written and the motivation behind it better than the author. so i think perhaps a little respect is required instead of second guessing.
    love is not an absolute and that's where the doubts and recriminations come in, even when we are in love. you want to give yourself totally to someone else and you want those feelings reciprocated. you also want your lover to understand your reservations. but sometimes you're just not sure what is going on. it's a huge trust issue and it's very difficult to let go of that control.
    good luck justam. :)
    hear my name

    lie beside me
    i just need to say
