Because once is enough

Watching you sleeping
How peaceful you seem
you're so beautiful
"I love you"
I whisper
though I know you're not awake
"love you too"
you mumble in your sleep
you can't know it's me
you think I'm someone else
I know you don't love me
but that's ok
you'll keep loving someone else
and I'll keep loving you
and when your heart is broken
you'll cry on my shoulder
and then you'll love again
and always someone new
and I'll always be here
cherishing you
cherishing your smiles
and your tears
storing each memory
in a secret corner of my mind
how the sunlight strikes your hair
or how it sparkles in your eyes
I'll cherish this moment
you may never say you love me again
but it's ok
because once is enough
and I may never tell you again
but once was enough
and even when you wake
and the memory is lost
in mist and dreams
somewhere inside you'll know
and your heart will cherish the memory
I steal a kiss
from your sleeping lips
soft and tender
every detail painted in vivid colors
because I may never kiss you again
but it's ok
because once is enough
I leave you sleeping
I steal one last look
for a second I thought I saw your eyes open
but it must have just been a trick of the light

| I really like this poem though it made me a little sad as well because I've been in situations kinda like this before. The last two lines were really crushing. To have that one faint glimmer of hope only to realize it was really nothing at all. You always manage to to move me. lol Loved it , Truly , Doug |

Love makes no demands, just gives, and that fact was captured so well in this beautiful poem. I loved it, it flowed so well, never seemed forced, I never stumbled over a line.
Take care,
David |
