About the Poem
Sometimes, we try too hard to encourage a relationship that shouldn't be encouraged, only to lose what little there was to begin with.
I Knew You Well |
| by Cindy |
| I knew your dreams Because we used to talk For hours at a time. I knew your friendship Because you were always there When I needed your comfort. I knew your pain Because you trusted me enough To share your past with me. I knew your fears Because you helped me To see that mine were the same. I knew what was important to you Because you were always So honest with me. I knew your goals Because I felt the enthusiasm In your words when you talked of them. I knew your guidance Because you patiently explained The things I didn't understand. I knew your heart Because I saw right into it And felt it a part of my own. I knew your honor Because you let me go When I fell in love with you. And I knew your love Because you wouldn't let me dream of us together. |

Great! Your poem speaks my mind. Anyway, can't you have an alternative ending? Coz I think my 'friend''s feeling is as same as mine. But I dare not ask her directly.

This poem means so much to me, for years I have had a friendship that I wanted to be so much more, but it never was really and I do not know if it will ever be. Yet this poems conveys in exact detail how it all worked out. I love this poem and I sent it to her. Thank you so much for writing feelings I could only dream of expressing to her. Jonathan Clary
