Never Meant To Be by Earthbound Angel
Softly as a gentle breeze,
Love crept into my heart
So softly I did not realize
Until we came to part.
'Twas then that love so suddenly
Grew claws, and without warning
Clamped around my heart and left
Me bleeding and in mourning.
So stunned was I by this attack,
I did not cry out "stay! "
And, frowning at my silence,
You turned and walked away.
I never knew, until you left,
How much you'd meant to me
And now you're gone, I guess
Our love was never meant to be.
Love crept into my heart
So softly I did not realize
Until we came to part.
'Twas then that love so suddenly
Grew claws, and without warning
Clamped around my heart and left
Me bleeding and in mourning.
So stunned was I by this attack,
I did not cry out "stay! "
And, frowning at my silence,
You turned and walked away.
I never knew, until you left,
How much you'd meant to me
And now you're gone, I guess
Our love was never meant to be.

I've been friends with this wonderful guy for almost five years now, and apart from an initial attraction for him that I felt at the beginning, but never spoke of, that's all we've ever been. Friends.
But then, totally unexpectedly, he suddenly turns around one day and asks me why we never became more than friends. My first reaction was laughter that bordered on hysteria.
I thought that he was joking, but it still made me feel a little guilty because what for him must be a joke was actually a particularly favorite fantasy of mine not more than four years earlier.
So it came as a complete shock to me when I saw his hurt look and heard the words "I meant it, Emma". I'm ashamed to say that I didn't deal well with it. I think of all the things he could have turned to me and said, that was the least expected.
Anyway, to get to the point, I messed things up pretty bad. The one guy that I ever really liked and respected, may have even loved, and I kicked him out of my apartment. Almost literally.
Now he's moved without a warning and I can't get in touch with him. It's like he just disappeared. And it hurts, a lot.
I guess I just want to say that if you're reading this, Joseph, I'm sorry.

Youre poem touched me because I,m in love with a man that is in the army. We were only together a few short months, but unexpectadly love changed everything. Now hes gone and the only thing I can say to myself is that I know that if we are meant to be together we will be one day. God has a plan for us all. So one he will bring along the right one to you wether it be this guy or another. You have a lot of love in you and youre poem shows so much feeling that any guy would be lucky to finally catch youre heart. thank you you said the perfect words in the perfect way for me. - Cryst |

I know exactly how you feel. The exact some thing happened to me. A guy told me he loved me, and I him. Then, just before graduation, he told me that he loved someone else. He ripped my heart out of my chest, yet I found myself running back to him, only to be left to die alone. For that I am ashamed of myself for. Great poem. - kara |

I just recently uncovered feelings that i believe that I have had for my BEST FRIEND Matt. I don't know why I didn't find them sooner, but I didn't and there is nothing that I feel I can do about it now. I dated one of his best friends and he is also one of mine and my brother's best friends, that is why it is such a shock to me. He has always been there for me, even when we weren't friends and it was just him always hanging out with my brother. I just wanted you to know that when reading your poem and your story, that I think I have convinced myself to tell him the way that I feel. I feel that I am about to lose him if I don't say anything. - Missy |

I think the hardest thing about love...passionate or otherwise...is that often times...we cannot pursue in earnest all those we could share a lifetime with...finding the One isn't hard...choosing One is... - Solstice |
