Falling In Love

I said I'd never fall in love and this is what happened when I did...

He said I'll never leave you and I believed him

I guess I was wrong the day I got the phone call

It started out fine we were laughing and joking

Until he said "I have to tell you something"

No one wants to hear these dreaded words

My hands started sweating, my heart beating fast

He said there was another

I knew who it was for she flirted with him around me

I could do nothing because he wasn't mine

He moved on without me

Fighting to hold back tears I cried myself to sleep that night

I occassionally feel his touch on my arms, hands, and face

I get wifts of his smell

And if I try hard enough my mind recreates the last moment we spent together

My first love broke my heart for the first time

I will always remember his dreamy blue eyes and fiery red hair

Shame on me for falling in love with an older guy

He is now 18 and I only 14

Should've known

But that's what I get for falling in love

Wow, I really appreciate the kind words and I do believe there is a love out there for me. This poem meant so much to me and would have been much harder to explain aloud. You understand and I am greatful for this. I know that everyone is a good person inside so I forgave him in my heart and hoped he'd never suffer that pain.Thanks for your words they were really touching

This poem evokes so much emotion, I really enjoyed it and could feel your pain. It may be difficult to see it this way, but shame on him, you did nothing wrong. It sounds like it was cut off without warning- immediate, not gradual- which is the worst way he could have told you how he was feeling. Don't give up on love; it sounds impossible, but you'll love again just like you did. But no rush, with time you'll come out of this stronger than before.Thanks for sharing this poem- your words are more meaningful and beautiful than you know
