From_Now_On Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Craziness Runs Out Love Would Last Forever It'd been so long I'd seen so much I could not remember A gentle touch But your eyes on mine It felt so right And your hand in mine So soft, so tight My head was screaming 'it's all just too fast' My mind was insisting 'this can never last' When you told me you loved me I just looked away You waited for the words That I just couldn't say It wasn't that I didn't care Nor that I didn't want to believe It's that I knew the truly good things Have this tendency to leave And I wanted you to hold me When I moved out of your grasp And I wanted to hold you're hand tighter Even when so loosely I did clasp I know that I hurt you With my nonchalant tough act I know that my neglect Was lacking of any tact But I didn't know how to go about this I didn't know where to begin How to hold back just enough To not get hurt but let you in You pursued me for awhile Perhaps from sympathy or pity Maybe it was just because You thought me some sort of pretty I do not really know It doesn't really matter why I suppose I could figure it out If I'd take the time to try The point is that although I never said it In the way you needed to hear I really did care for you There was just so much to fear I thought to let you go myself Until I saw the tears in your eyes That's when I buried away my doubts And put my luck on post-second tries Then in the little things I noticed I felt you pull away I didn't know what to do I didn't know what to say Everything inside me Sang 'I told you so' Still something said to let you be the one Who choose to let me go You did and said 'I'm sorry' 'I know things have been rough' 'I hate to tell you this now' 'While you're struggling with so much *stuff*' The thing is I understand And I'm sorry you saw me cry I held it in and played strong But you caught me as I walked by It wasn't that you broke this off I'm too old for silly dreams I'm over childish heartbreaks And taking everything as it seems I guess what really got me Is that you said we would be friends But both of us are broken hearted In the way that only time mends I'm leaving soon to somewhere far from here And time's a luxury I lack I need you to know That I won't be looking back There's too much pain in the past The present hasn't been so great I need to live my life Before it's just too late You said that maybe later We could try all this again But I try to learn from my mistakes And not tread back on where I've been As friends we could have made it As friends this could have last But there's no use on looking back Because we can not change the past There's a lesson to be learned here Betwixt the guilt and the good-byes Even we can fool ourselves If we live to love these lies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From_Now_On Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 unexpectedvictim57: Yeah...actually...the title is kind of an ode to the whole "love" dilema we had in our relationship. I would not say I "loved" him...but he insisted he "loved" me...and I really truly did/do care about him...but things were just going so fast and I didn't trust myself to be able to honestly define it as "love". So instead we just compromised to laugh and call our fondness for eachother "craziness". We'd ask eachother if craziness ever runs out. Both of us truly hoped it didn't...but it does and did. Soon his "love" for me faded...and I was at least relieved that I had not told him I 'loved' him...because that would have meant I had given him my heart...I'd be entirely broken. I knew it was all craziness...even though I had hoped it was really something more. Just be careful and know you are right not to say you 'love' him...even if you truly care a lot about him. Only say it when you're sure. Chances are you care about him just as much as he does for you...you just hold the value of the word to be a lot more. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the poem, and thanks for your comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unexpectedvictim57 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 ya i don't want to say i love him, cause im 14 and i know i don't....... but he keeps saying it...... and im afraid that he'll keep saying it and will get mad at me or dumpme because i won't say it and he would never understand why i can't! even if i did try to explain to him why........ its so confusing........ what did you tell your bf when he told you he loved you and ou wouldn't say it back? advice maybe? remember im 14, not 19.....
