    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.

    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.

    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

    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
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say
