How could I say

how on earth could I speak the words?
they just won’t come out when I need them
I sit there
maybe I smile sweetly
maybe I seem composed

yeah, I have a lot of practice doing that
I learned how to hide my nerves long ago

I had to
part of my training
got that whole facade thing down
walk out
bow
look calm and smooth
concentrate on the job at hand

but, how could I say
I love you?
how could I say it’s hard to love someone you can’t have?
it’s so obvious, how could I ever say it?

    justam.

    how can i tell you how much i love this.

    and you...thank you for the pm's.
    You ask me to enter
    But then You make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on
    To what You got
    When all You've got is hurt
    ----
    Underneath this smile lies everything
    All my hopes and anger, pride and shame

    I always love reading yours Just Am, they are so honest and straight forward...refreshing! :)
    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!
  • This is full of longing and the false smiles that accompany unrequited love. You express what you feel so eloquently, justam. I love reading your poems too. :)

    I long to return to the promise of us…

    My soul cries out for what should have been
    What could have been… What would have been
    The vision of your eyes looking deeply into mine
    The feeling of your strong arms surrounding me
    The sound of your voice telling me I please you
    The smell of our bodies joining and combining
    Needs fulfilled as you drive deep inside me and pulse

    The fantasies are gone now into the oblivion of fate
    I long for them to return since they brought such hope
    Hope for a beautiful encounter… the joining of “Us”
    The chance to know passion in its purest form
    To feel you touch me deep in my soul and know me
    To have the chance to bring each other pleasure
    And feel our bodies combine forces for completion
    I long to return to the promise of us.

    I'm sorry it made you feel like crying! :(

    But don't feel too bad for me. I'm trying to fix it--I'm trying to break my old habit of not talking enough. :)

    Well, you could say what I feel better then I can. Thanks.
    I shouldn't have to fight a battle I'll never win, just to lose those I've never had.

    That's so nice of you to say! It's really wonderful how encouraging you all are when I put up this stuff I feel isn't very good. :)

    you're welcome. :)
    i always enjoy reading your words. strangely soothing in their directness and imagery.

    i am well enough...keep on keeping on and all that. not much new at all, just very HAPPY spring is upon us, and trying to work on some goals, personal and professional...work on some projects...and generally trying to remain in an optimistic state of mind.

    hope you're good!
    Stay with me...

    Wow...I like:)
    If I could be anything in the world I would be your teardrop...I would be born in your eyes, live on your cheeks, and die on your lips.
