Of love

[maddie]

I found this poem. Sadly I think it asks all the questions I have feared to ask because I know the answers; and they are not what I want to hear.


Day After Day I See My Life
Right Before My Eyes,
Night After Night
Im Alone Always Wondering Why
Im Feeling My Heart Ache.
As My Dreams Fade Away,
I Feel The Loss Of Love
Each And Everyday.
You Think That We Are Alright
Cause You Think My Pain Is Gone,
You Don't See The Tears I Cried
And I am Still Alone.
You Are This Man
That I Gave My Heart To,
You Are This Man
Do You Still Feel The Same As I Did?
Where Are You Now
When I Need You The Most?
Where Are You Now
Are You Somewhere Close?
Are You Able To Love Me Back?
Or Will You Turn The Other Way?
Will You Give Me Your Heart
And Make It Easier To Stay?
Can You Treat Me Right
And Calm My Fears?
Take All My Pain Away
By Wiping My Tears.
Hold Me In Your Arms
Pull Me In So Close,
Let Me Know Im Loved
Thats What I Need The Most.
So Tell Me Now
And Tell Me True,
Are You This Man
I Want From You?

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love.

One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.

When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,
"Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder.
So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going.
When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way.

Realizing how much was owed the elder, Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.

"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"

Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."
