The Attraction
A very long time ago;
Back when I was young;
And my heart just didn't know;
He paid no attention;
To my innocent tears;
That left scars on my heart;
Which I have worn through all these years;
Once he had left me;
I swore "never again,"
I would not get involved;
I would rather be "just friends;"
Love has been pushed;
Very far from my mind;
I rarely think of it now;
Since I have left that man behind;
Twenty years have passed;
And I have moved along;
I have met someone new;
And I think that I was wrong;
I thought that in my life;
True love could never be;
Until I felt my heart melting;
When he first smiled at me;
"No! This can't happen!"
I felt my heart and mind scream;
If he gets under my skin;
I may lose sight of my dream;
As much as I don't want to;
He has invaded all my dreams;
And has made me think of the impossible;
At least, I thought it was for me;
I will fight this attraction;
Until I get to know him better;
Only God then can decide;
If we are meant to be together;

Post a CommentI love this poem so much!!!!! Did I sound a little too excited there? Sorry. But this is really good. :)
I hope your love blossoms like a beautiful rose.
This is excellent. I understand whole heartedly. My wife and I are the same way, and are still cautious of others.
This is both heartbreaking and hopeful. As someone who found true love I have to highly recommend it if you can find it. There is nothing like knowing that someone has your back no matter what. I can't imagine life without my wonderful husband. Sure, I wish I could "perfect" him a bit sometimes (like cleaning up after himself in the kitchen) but then I remember all the wonderful qualities he does have and I chastize myself for being so selfish. The truth is my life would be a lot less full and happy if he wasn't in it.
So many people have been down this road Lisa. It is indeed scary taking a chance on love again after having your heart broken, but as you wisely pointed out in this beautiful piece, placing your faith and trust in the hands of God is the best way to approach love and life in general.
Loverly, loverly. Well done.
Beautiful poem give it a shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go ahead...give it a shot! who knows what awaits you.....may be a beautiful life! good luck!
Out of sight Lisa. This poem reminds us that true love is still possible and that we should not fight our true feelings.
Nice job on this piece. I hope he is the right one. It may be worth the try. Good luck. Loved the poem.
