You told me you loved me,
told me fate had played a part
in bringing us together,
that I had touched
your heart.
You showered me
with little things
you thought
my heart desired,
except for one,
a need to know…
was my love
at
all
required?

Very well put, LadyP. From a mere male ( 😉 ) point of view, it can work both ways. The one sided selfish attitude I mean. I hope you won’t let this one experience colour any future relationships, for that would be a shame. (that’s if this was a ‘life experience’ poem) x

it’s funny. Everything we loved about the other person initially, is what we want to change later on.

is that a part of human nature, Arjun, or just something we learn?… It’s like a slap in the face to learn you’re suddenly not quite ‘right’ I don’t think I’ve tried to change anyone, at least to my knowledge, .. erm… other than ‘do you mind leaving the toilet seat down’ … 😉 xx

Human nature. How hard one resists not to change but they do, to sustain the relationship. They call it love. some surrender…some eventually with constant manipulation. It’s a stupid battle of who’s in control or what’s right. Fact is, the two in a relationship dilute in the process doesn’t matter who wants to change whom.

I suppose two people, living together, somethings got to give, … and we change ourselves anyway by growing older, gaining insights and different values, Some things I believed growing up, I now laugh about,..you live and you learn,or stagnate, the same with relationships..

I think that this wonderful poem will ring true
for so many that read it, all with thoughts and
memories that are authentic and yet the part
that is so special has been lost in the mist of
time. Perhaps the reality is still alive, but just
hidden out of sight. Life is like that I guess? 😦
Have a really lovely
weekend Lady Pen 🙂 🙂

Thank you Sue, lessons are always being learned. I know for a fact this person was not the right one for me, but for some reason I kept trying to find what was lacking in me, rather than the other way round. Only in hindsight did I get the full picture.., suddenly the focus altered by me needing space to see what was wrong.
