I was never in love with you

 

 I was never in love with you,

I was in love with the poems,

The songs I wrote and compiled for you.

 

I was never in love with you,

I was intoxicated by you,

The intricate way you held my hand,

Let me kiss you, let me cry with you,

And convinced me I was not alone.

 

I was never in love with you,

I loved the scent of your cologne,

The kind I bought you for valentine’s day,

That somehow managed,

To permeate my senses completely.

 

I was never in love with you,

I loved the sound you made,

Whenever I made you laugh, or smile,

That sound you only made,

A handful of times because of me.

 

I was never in love with you,

I was in love with the promises,

The allure of a summer we never got to spend,

The places we never got to see.

 

 

 

 

I was not in love with you.

 

 

 

 

Were you ever in love with me?

I read this 3 or 4 times. :)

This is great! I loved how you seemd like you were trying to convince yourself you never loved this "someone".
Beautifully written. Great Job.

I was never in love with you,
you repeated this line many times
seemingly to convince yourself
you were never in love with

nice method the actually repeating
cause me not to believe not
with each repeat of the line
you were never in love with

I am rather impressed. Wonderful examply of poetry and talent. I really the topic. So many people are not in love but stay with someone because they love the idea of being in love. Thank you for sharing your work.

nice job, rather simple, but got the point across well. i've written many poems in the past about that. my poem "my own penetentiary" is similar the last line goes: "and what really takes my last breath of life is that you never really loved me...and here i sit in my own penetentiary." i will send it to you.

great minds think alike. congrats on your win. against so many other great poems it's a big accomplishment!!

It's a question and an answer in itself. Denial but it's there clearly to see.. self preservation at it's best. A wonderful flowing piece. thank you for sharing :)
