They say I'm crazy
and I know it's true.
But I know by waiting
I'm saving myself for you.
i'll look at you from afar, gaze as if mesmerized
i'll be your shadow in a shade, you won't know this exists
until then
until when things fall into place
when you can spell out love without her name
when i accepted that it's not always i who could hold my hands
wait and let go
love is but a rainbow
sometimes it's dark, sometimes it's not
but it gives color to the sky and unicorns do fly
until then
until then, we'll fly
it's amazing how i can write things like this in a short time. I <3 oneword.com as much as i love hellopoetry.

I feel like we finally started seeing each other
last night when our hands were together
your words were soft
mine, understanding
working toward a life of forever
Who knew love could be this hard?
Back in the 90's
when the net was young
words were our life
like your name on my tongue
We grew closer and intimate
without the feeling of skin
We opened our hearts wide
and accepted the other within
As the years flew by
and distance reigned
life drove us apart
as though fate were feigned
But, together at last
through a fateful verse
I reached out and you answered
dispelling our curse
Now, a few years later
we fight hardest for our love
learning to embrace
when our instincts are to shove
I know we'll make it together
My faith is greater than the Pope's
We have the rest of our lives together
sharing passions & play, hearts & hopes
Symbolizing my commitment and desire
I've given you the hardest stone
You gave me in return
your heart and body to own

Sometimes true love isn't enough. Sometimes you have to work really hard to change yourself into the person you need to be that allows a relationship to flourish. Always you need hope and endurance to make it through. Recalling an amazing history that's torn my love from me and reunited us, again, many years later. We met on the internet when it was only text and we wrote poetry together, had long (expensive) talks on the phone and we grew to love each other from the inside out. Distance overwhelmed with a country between us and we grew apart. I measured every love after that by what we had and no one could ever live up to what I needed. Over ten years later, a poem rocks my day & forces it's way out through my heart. I sent it to her out of the blue and she responded, still missing me. We moved to the same town and fell back in love, determined to make it last for the rest of our lives.
