Poems 1-by yours truly
THANK YOU
HOW CAN I TELL YOU HOW GRATEFUL I AM FOR YOU?
YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO LOVE MYSELF, SO THAT I MIGHT LOVE YOU COMPLETELY.
YOU SHOWED ME CONSIDERATION, TRUST AND APPRECIATION, NEVER THINKING ABOUT YOURSELF AND WHAT YOU MIGHT GAIN.
YOU TURNED MY LIFE AROUND, FREELY GIVING WHAT LIFE ALWAYS PROMISED, BUT OTHERS WITHHELD.
AND WHAT'S MORE, YOU GAVE ME YOU TO BE THANKFUL FOR.
HOW COULD I NOT LOVE YOU?

A SINGLE ROSE
THIS SINGLE ROSE BEFORE ME RESEMBLES WHAT WE HAVE SHARED.
SO UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL, GROWING WITHOUT CARE.
THEN ONE DAY THE SUN STOPPED SHINING, OUR RELATIONSHIP CAME TO AN END.
YOU LEFT ME OUT IN THE RAIN, MY ROSE WOULD NEVER BLOOM AGAIN.
LOVE HURTS SOMETIMES, THAT'S JUST HOW IT GOES.
BUT A TEAR WILL REMAIN, FOREVER, UPON THIS SINGLE ROSE.

DREAMER
I HAVE LOVED YOU IN MY DREAMS AND WANTED YOU HAPPY. I HAVE THOUGHT OF YOU OFTEN AND WANTED TO HOLD YOU SO MANY TIMES. BUT AS A DREAMER, I SIMPLY HOPED THAT YOU WOULD SENSE MY CARING, AND IMAGINED YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND ME. I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE YOU WOULD KNOW HOW MUCH I CARE, THOUGH I NEVER TOOK THE TIME TO TELL YOU. IN MY DREAMS I HAVE CHERISHED YOU AND LOVED YOU SO MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW.

MAKE BELIEVE
I WANT TO BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU SAY YOU'LL BE THERE. I WANT TO BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU SAY IT'S A LONG LASTING AFFAIR. I WANT TO BELIEVE THERE IS A CHANCE YOU REALLY DO CARE. I WANT TO BELIEVE YOUR DIFFERENT, BUT I JUST DON'T DARE. BECAUSE IF IT'S ONLY MAKE-BELIEVE, MY HEART WOULD SURELY BREAK AND TEAR. I JUST COULDN'T HANDLE IT, IT'S SOMETHING, I JUST COULDN'T BARE.

TRUE LOVE
GIVEN IS A PROMISE NEVER TO BE BROKEN. IN A MOMENT OF ANGER BITTER WORDS ARE LEFT UNSPOKEN. IT'S FORGIVING, FORGETTING WHAT YOU FORGIVE. IT'S EACH OTHERS PRIDE CONSIDERED TO SAVE. IT'S KNOWING OF WHEN ONE IS LOST AND IN DOUBT. IT'S BELIEVING TOGETHER YOU WILL FIGURE IT OUT. IT'S HURRYING TO WAITING ARMS. IT'S THE COMFORT AND JOY AND STRENGTH YOU GAIN FROM LOVE. YOUR GUIDING LIGHT. IT'S THE SMILE SAYING "THANK GOD YOUR HERE". IT'S YOUR SMILE ANSWERING MY UNSPOKEN PRAYER. IT'S THE DREAMS OF ALL TOMORROWS YET TO BE. IT'S YOUR FUTURES CAREFULLY PLANNED, MAKING IT REALITY. THE REWARDS ARE MANY WHEN LOVE IS TRUE. IT'S YOUR ADORED ONE WHISPERING "I LOVE YOU".
