The Long Journey of Love.

by Courageous Dreamer   Jun 24, 2008


` This may seem a bit prose .. Sorry! But, I'm entering it for a contest that we are suppose to spill everything out whether or not the poem turns out poetic or not!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I can't lie - for these feelings inside me are real.
Over this long span of time, they have developed..
Into something I can't even think about letting go of.
You really caught my eye from the start --
I really thought maybe you were my perfect match.

My mind wandered for quite some time.
I thought about you constantly, and couldn't get you off my mind.
The feelings I had for you built up faster than I could ever believe --
And I began to fall for you harder than ever before.

One year went by - our relationship, had gone nowhere.
You never talked to me for more than a minute,
But boy, you really got me flustered.
I thought that was the greatest moment of my life..
However, I soon realized; those words we exhanged meant ziltch.

Another year passed - our relationship, the same.
Back at square one was what it seemed,
My emotions and feelings rose to the extremes,
And I knew what I kept inside would mean nothing to you.

Finally, three years of liking you.. -our relationship, had gone nowhere.
There was absolutely no progression.
I wanted nothing more than to make my move;
But I backed down realizing the fear of rejection was too much for me to handle.

So here I am today, the most confused girl alive.
Awaiting the man of my dreams, who doesn't have a clue how I feel about him.
I continue to walk down the same path of worries, of hope, of faith.
Perhaps, fate is the only thing that could result in you and me.

This long journey of love is just beginning.

    I loved this. I feel like you were completely honest about your feelings. Also, I happen to think it's very poetic, the way you've worded them. It's from the heart, and totally emotional, and I liked that. I feel as though it's key when writing something. And I liked the repetition of "-our relationship" in the third, fourth, and fifth stanza's. It shows you took plenty of time explaining the relationship between two people. To be able to put your whole heart into a poem takes talent, and you've got that, undoubtedly. Wonderful job.

    5/5

    In the begginning it was kind of happy, made me think that this was more about a new love, but then as you kept reading, it had a very interesting twist. You twisted the story and told everyone about how you guys were just friends for such a long time. I love this poem, great emotion. 5/5

    I loved it! The emotions were pure and it was like you just poured you heart out into your words. IT WAS REAL. I can't find anything to critique in a negative way, because I think it's perfect just the way it is.
    BRAVO! Lovely ;)

    So this poem...it reveals you kind of had this big crush...a love at the first sight...they say thingy.. It is creating kind of cute image...that someone actually can think this way..

    The poem was like a short story...and it was easy to follow...

    It is very teaching for me to read a poem like this with perfect grammar and wording.

    Well-written poem. I liked the theme.. :)
