The Heart Of A Lover

by Rachel D Fogle   Apr 13, 2005


You are to me what I never knew I wanted.
Giving me love and acceptance like no other.
To know your love is a comfort I find reassuring.

To know we are together is what makes life worth enduring.
But there is a truth to the love that we so selfishly take.
A line we always cross, but choose to ignore or erase.

I acted in passion and I lost myself there.
I resisted the urge to walk away and not be there.
Taking what was offered, reliving this life & acting with emotions I long ago set aside.

Undoing all the walls I worked so very hard to create.
Giving you my heart to take.
Words say its friendship & love that we share.
Emotions speak louder & we know that more could be there.

Tiptoeing around it all, letting life drift by.
Not wanting to test the waters we have swam so easily by.

But nothing can change what lives we have now.
Nothing can make it all easy or undo the, what when or why.
Where do we go from here?
What lies ahead for us?
Am I always to be “the other woman”?
Am I always to love this much?

Do I pull away slowly & erase you from my heart?
Or do I say & love you anyway, even if I play no important part?
Please don’t take my words unkindly.
This love is pure & true.
I just can’t seem to understand why in love I seem to always loose.

I never thought we would be here or that we would have what we have.
I never dreamed on caring and loving a man I know I can never have.
