i saw you one day and looked away for i thought you might think that i was strange. little did i know that i was in love with you. i was just too stubborn to look past my boyish tendencies. i worked up the courage to ask you out and i couldnt believe it when you said yes. i thought that you thought so little of me but then i realized i was falling in love with you. i thought love was just a game that grown ups played little did i know i could play at such a young age. my only worry is you might not feel the same way towards me. i tell you i love you you dont say it back if only i knew the heart break youd been through. i hold you close not wanting to say goodbye you pull away my grip fades fast how could i have known that it wouldnt last. i let you go once i wont mak the same mistakes twice for a one true love doesnt come twice. i try to tell you it will be alright but things always turn out worse than when they started. i soon realize that this has to stop this elaborate escapade that we call love.

Love came to me once when it was so unexpected...but I never voiced it because I was scared and I knew I would somehow find a way to fuck things up and it would have been worse with that phrase in the way and now me and the guy are still friends and I have not and probably never will tell him how I feel at least you were not afraid to tell your girl she should have been better to you... don't give up on love someday it will find you and blindside you like it did me... If I could I would rewind everything that happened between me and my man and do it better because he was the greatest guy I really miss him...but hey, what can you do right? Well enough of my sad sob story i just wanted to say I really can relate to this poem keep writing. *Skittles*

Johnathan, hey..i read this just a couple of days ago and I read it almost everyday now...I really like it and i think you are a great writer and a great person who I will always be able to relate to...I know you don't think that true love can come twice but it can for you...just not for me...and that's my reason "why" i had to do what I did... i saw all the love you held and I thought it was so unfair to see that look in your eyes every time you said I love you and I didn't say it back..you needed someone who did feel the same and more because I thought you deserved nothing less...so i hope you understand where i was coming from and why I did what i did...I'll always care...and I'll always be here for you when you need someone to listen...
love,
Saturnine
