The Risk I Took To Love You by Daisee

#66 The Risk I Took To Love You

My poem is about the way my boyfriend totally took advantage of me. It's about a risk that I took to love him and how much it hurt to know that we would no longer see each other. In this poem, I show everything - my emotions, my feelings, and my love in its entirety. It expresses why I still and always will love him, from the bottom of my broken heart.

The Risk I Took To Love You

by Daisee_aj

I've written these words to help you know
The love, pain, and hurt that I never did show.
I knew your cousin, my best friend was she,
I was aware of that fact that you didn't know me.
After some time, she introduced me to you.
How surprising that we became friends too.
At that time I had no feeling of this sort.
I guess it's because - for me you were short.
Not only that, but you were younger than I.
It looked really funny when it was me you stood by,
But after a while of laughter and fun,
I had this feeling that I knew was too dumb.
I started to like you - I don't know why.
You just gave me a feeling that made me soar high.
I knew in my heart that I couldn't let you know,
Because of the risk, I kept it an easy-going flow.
The days after that, our friendship was great,
But then I thought, "What if I was too late?"
I gave it more time, more consideration,
In order that I would make a wise decision.
I knew you wouldn't like me; the fact was so real.
But what would I do with the emotions I feel?
I gave it a try, but not so clearly to you,
I just thought that I would give you a clue.
I was afraid if I told you, my newest friend,
Our fun and laughter would come to an end.
Then it came the time to speak my heart,
Even though I knew that our friendship would grow apart.
When I told you that day, you took it so well,
No longer in that decision would I have to dwell.
The weeks after that went by so fast,
But I knew that one day our friendship would no longer last.
Soon I started to feel nothing like before,
I guess you could say I liked you even more.
But soon after a while, it started to come true,
Farther apart I became from you.
At first I didn't know what was going on,
But as soon as I stepped into reality, you were already gone.
Now you are just a picture, a dream in my mind,
But trust me at times I'm happy when it's your memories I find.
When I remember those times and recall your voice,
I think of the past because I really have no choice.
I tell you that at many times, you've wiped away my tears,
And at many other times, you've thrown away my fears.
Please don't ask why because I can't exactly say how,
But it doesn't really matter because you're gone from me now.
Just remember that at anytime, anywhere,
To me you could look because I'll always care.
Even though we went our own separate ways,
I'll never forget our happiest of days.
Tell me your problems, I'll understand.
Tell me your needs, and I'll reach out my hand.
But now that's just a fantasy, as true as it may seem.
Yes, you my old friend are just a dream.
For always I've wanted your hands to hold,
Because I wanted your friendship, it was more valuable than gold.
For one year, there were things you had said,
That with your words and love, I was led
To show you kindness and gentle care,
And to treat in a way that I knew was always fair.
I wondered many times about the friendship we had
What wrong did I do, to make it so bad?
I gave everything you wanted, almost anything.
I gave you my heart, my everything.
But I've lost you now, you're gone forever,
Just remember that I'll forget you never.
Yes, loving you was worth the risk, though it broke my heart in two.
But I'm glad that I had taken it because it brought me closer to you.

kirby

I really enjoyed reading this poem. This whole experience has happened to me. Being to afraid to tell your best friend, that you do care, but once you do, you guys grow apart.. and you don't have anything except just knowing that you finally told him how you felt
leanna

This reminds me of the all too familiar phrase "it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." I think of this because if you love someone and things don't work out as long as you have learned something, it is all worth while! Good poem! I really liked it!
Liz

I'm sorry this had to happen to you! This poem was so meaningful, I hope you write a lot more poems because you're really good. You put a lot of emotion into that, and I hope you do find true love someday.
Kiki

I cried because I saw myself in the narrator's place! Daisee_aj, you are not alone.... you couldn't have written it more beautifully!!! x-x-x :)
nicole

Bravo! I know it's hard wanting to keep a special friendship with a guy but when you start loving them it's hard to keep it in the dark. It will show and things might change to the best or love but thats just a risk you have to take. God Bless and take care.
Cynthia

I think this poem is a really nice poem and should be one of the favorite poems because this kinda happened to me!when i first read it it touched my heart!
Patty

the best!
Danielle

I totally feel this. This guy ive been friends with since my freshman year, now im a junior, i just now realized i have feelings for him, btu im scared to tell him because of what it might do to our friendship, and i would never want anythign to come between me and his friendship. But i dont want these feelings inside me any longer. This is totally respectful, i wish i knew the person that wrote this so i could tell them how much this poem means.
Sophia

Your poem is really similar to how I felt about someone a long time ago. It is very good.
jenny
