Love Poems

I`ve been alone for a long time now; not by choice or lack of interest in finding someone to keep me company, but simply because none of those who have crossed my path gathered the same qualities you do...

I must confess that I feel a bit awkward and embarrassed as I write these lines, but the feeling that we may really get a long with each other and be happy together is very strong.

I would like you to give us this chance. Please understand that I am not asking this for my own sake; I am asking it for the both of us, because I believe that you would have not touched my heart if it wasn`t meant for me to make you a happy.

You may think that I`m getting ahead of myself when I say "you are the love of my life". And maybe, "just" maybe, you are right. But now, this truth is what keeps my heart beating: it can only be you!

Sometimes, there are things that happen right in front of your eyes and you are not even aware of them, isn`t it? That usually happens when you are totally distracted or you have shut yourself to the world outside.

I`m not trying to beat around the bush, but it would have been very nice to have started this letter by saying right away that I am totally in love with you; it`s so strange for me to be so blinded by love whereas you seem to be blind to my love. If it`s pure distraction and you are really not aware of the way I look at you, then there is still hope this letter will produce some effect. My only fear, however, is that you have already noticed my interest in you and you couldn`t care less. Is that the case?

I sincerely hope not... I suspect you haven`t even realized that there is someone who looks at you in a different way and whose heart beats faster every time you are near. Much as I try to be discreet, I can sometimes be too obvious; but know that I have brought myself to write you this letter, the dices have been cast and I hope fortune is on my side.

Dear (name), if you still don`t know who I am, it won`t belong before you find out. No, I`m not going to sign this letter; but I`ll be asking you "Did you like it?" next time you walk past me. And what I`ll see in your eyes and in your smile will be my answer.

A kiss!

I hope you are well and feeling calm as you read this letter, because I really care about you and I wouldn`t like to know that you are angry or upset for anything in the world! But I need to tell you some serious things that have been bothering me a lot...

I believe the time we`ve spend together and the level of intimacy we have reached, give me the freedom and the right to express my feelings, without being afraid to scare you off with the truth; I think it goes without saying how much I really love you, I know you are intelligent and sensitive enough to have figured it out by now.

But loving you and wanting to be with you is not enough... In order for that to happen in the best way for the both of us, you also need to be sure of what you want and stop being divided between me and other people and old cases; according to you, there is no future in them and the only thing they do is upset you.

Quite frankly, and although I care a lot about you, I will not stand this embarrassing situation anymore. If, by any chance, you fail to understand the meaning of these words and choose not to see me again, I will of course suffer but I will quickly get over it; I know what I`m worth and, moreover, I know that my love and my feelings should be devoted to someone who can appreciate them and is also able to reciprocate.

I don`t believe you are going to doubt or question what you are reading now, because we`ve always been honest and loyal with each other. I just want you to know that I am ready to totally assume my love for you, as long as you stop dividing your love and attention.
Otherwise, I`ll just give up.
