Dreams are Meant for Dreamers

Sometimes the person that you think you should love - you don't love at all...

How can I tell you that I love you?

     When you don't love me back?

How can I tell you that I love you?

     When its all just an act?

How can I tell you that I love you,

     When its so hard for you to speak?

How can I tell you that I love you,

     When our relationship's so weak?

 

I dreamt that one day I could love you,

     And that you would love me back.

But dreams are made for dreamers.

     And its time for me to act.

That is a stunning poem. It's personal, yet many people can relate. Great work!

[Justin Tobey]

A wonderful poem! I think I understand the situation, though I've never experience it myself. It's when a person is wonderful, smart, funny, kind, but you don't feel any attraction, as much as you want to and feel that you should. Excellent job! :D

right right?

There cannot be a real relationship without certain things. Love is one of them. This piece was very well written, as far as I'm concerned. I like the rhyming scheme you chose. Keep up the good work.

Ohh, I've been there. It's not a pleasant situation, and sooner or later one must make up his mind to stop the charade. You express this beautifully - love the repitition.
