We're Not In Love by Tina K
So often people say they found their lover in their friend.
I just have to wonder if theyve found a means to fit their end.
I thought I knew you for so long, but now Ive come to see
That this man is a stranger, and you dont remember me.
For the first time in my life I wanted someone I could keep-
To treasure me both heart and soul, to hold me in my sleep.
When I saw you I was overjoyed, my search at last concluded,
Who knew that I would come to find that I was just deluded?
Because as we grew together something still kept us apart,
I have your body and your mind, but Ill never have your heart.
And I still wish that we could have that true love and forever,
But reality stole my happy ending, leaving me with never.
And if you asked, what would I say?
Would I dare to throw it all away?
Would yes be right? Or is it no?
But we never ask, so on we go.
And still I know that in the end,
Youre not my lover but my friend.
This is the truth that I despise
When I suddenly realize:
Were not in love.
I just have to wonder if theyve found a means to fit their end.
I thought I knew you for so long, but now Ive come to see
That this man is a stranger, and you dont remember me.
For the first time in my life I wanted someone I could keep-
To treasure me both heart and soul, to hold me in my sleep.
When I saw you I was overjoyed, my search at last concluded,
Who knew that I would come to find that I was just deluded?
Because as we grew together something still kept us apart,
I have your body and your mind, but Ill never have your heart.
And I still wish that we could have that true love and forever,
But reality stole my happy ending, leaving me with never.
And if you asked, what would I say?
Would I dare to throw it all away?

And still I know that in the end,
Youre not my lover but my friend.
This is the truth that I despise
When I suddenly realize:

I've heard tales of people suddenly realizing that they are in love with their friend. This poem is about the opposite of that experience - It is about my experience with someone who I knew as my lover and then realized that while our relationship would never work, I had found a friend I would cherish forever.

This poem touched me because I have been dateing this man for 3 years and the more time I spend with him the more I realize I AM NOT IN LOVE WITH HIM! - Daynna |

I loce this poem. It totally applies to my love affair with my lover. Sex brought us together and though at times I wish there were more to our relationship, I dare not bring it up. I'm quite sure we could never be together as a couple, however we are the best of friends. - Mirna |

I think this poem was wonderful. I completely understand what you mean, or at least how I interpreted it. I have been dating a guy for 4 years, we argue a bit too much and he thinks we are better off friends, and i have to be"okay". Right? - Sara |
|
I love this poem! It describes my current feelings about this guy I have been dating, to a "T". I think he does love me in a way, but not to the same degree or intensity that I love him. He's a self-admitted "commitment phobe". So sad, because we're both "middle-aged" and I feel that I've found "the one". But he doesn't. It's so confusing and frustrating and emotionally painful. Thank you Tina for writing this and keep up the good work. - Joan |

I just love this poems because i had a relationship with my best friend, it only lasted 4 months and we've know each other since 3rd grade, now we are seniors. And I believe that it wasn't really love for each other as to be together but love as friends and we confused everything and now everything is all gone so I really relate to this poem and besides I loved it! - viri |
