To The One I Once Loved

I love how you smile when you see me
The way your eyes light up when you
Are passionate about something you love
It shows your heart is strong
You make me feel important
Like I have a place in this world
Each night I gaze at the stars and think of you
I know you are here to stay, which comforts my fragile heart
I love you for who you are
I want everything to work out for you
for your dreams and hopes to come true
You have so much passion for life
I want so much for you
For I love it when you’re happy and hopeful
For it makes me happy
I will always care about you
I promise I will never hurt you nor let you down
I will hold your heart close to mine with care
For you mean more than the world to me


I would never cry in front of you
For that is a sign of weakness
I know you are the one
But I see in your eyes that this feeling I am feeling
does not mean much to you, you just don’t feel the same way
I would rather have you as a best friend than not have you in my life at all
So I am letting you go and this feeling
For if I ever hurt you
I would never be able to forgive myself
For you mean everything to me
I promise you I will always be there for you
No matter what
Nothing will ever come in between you and me or our friendship
No one
Nothing
I promise I will never hurt you nor let you down
I will hold your heart close to mine with care
For you mean more than the world to me


I hope you know I never intended to upset you by feeling this way
You warned me and I didn’t listen and I’m sorry
Truly sorry form the bottom of my heart
I know with love comes heartache but I still pushed my way through
You said I didn’t hurt you
But I am scared you have thought twice by now
This is the new me, a better friend by day and a stronger dreamer by night
I love the way you say my name
But I am letting you go
For I care to much for you
It seems like I say that a lot but it’s the truth
I only write the truth
I am so sorry I put you through this and put in this uncomfortable position
I am starting a new slate
I am going to be a better person because of you
You seem to always bring the best out of me each day
I promise you I will not love you no more
For that is what you want
And I want you to be happy
And for you to have whatever it is you want
I promise I will never hurt you nor let you down
I will hold your heart close to mine with care
For you mean more than the world to me

i know what you mean. or, ummm, what the speaker of the poem means. :cough:

no better kind of love than the selfless kind. to promise not to love someone anymore because that's what that person secretly wants - that's tough. what a paradox!
