 If I could bring myself to love him the same way that he loves me, life would come so easy then; from struggles, I'd be free. He would be the sun and water for the seeds left here to plant if I could bring myself to love him, but to my dismay, I can't. |

Dear Dixie, this is sad my friend, wanting to love is so much different than being in love, being loved, but not returning love breaks someone’s heart. Good write my friend and great picture to depict the scene. Rick |

Perhaps you are maturing and know that love takes time to grow...and in this way you can insure you are with the right person before you give too much...a lesson I am trying to learn...James |

This is VERY good! [powerful, emotive, and 'to the point!'] [possibly my favorite of the 'writes' I've had the pleasure of reading to date from this poet!] serious applause!! |

Dixie...You can't make your heart do what it won't...to love or to not love... I hear you  |

Love, a word of very few letters, with a sound that is soothing to the ear. But, oh so confusing, frustrating, even deadly... or...so very beautiful when in the middle of the throes of it. You, dear friend...are most assuredly often in the middle....striving to get to the top. I wish you well in your trek. |

I know loss...if it is meant to be it will. Sometimes we are given love but have it only for a short time. I wonder if it happens that way to show us what real love is. We would never really know until it was gone. The best love is the one you lose, you apprecaite it so much more. Hold on to the memories. |

I read Soooo much "growth" in this poem!! I mean, I don't know where you are "coming from" to get to this point, but this is truly a "growth" moment!  enjoyed... hugs, g "...Never regret anything that made you smile..." [This message has been edited by dgvarner (07-12-2007 11:53 PM).] |

you can not make a heart love nor can you make it unlove |
