I Will Never Love You Any More

by Jeff Mason — Read all 207 poems by Jeff Mason

Thursday, June 29, 2006

I thought I knew you oh so well
until that night I saw you there...

with him.

And now my worst nightmare
has finally
come true :
my deepest fear -

of losing you.

Now at last
I know for sure
that I...
will never love you...
any more;

But I will never love you any less
than I ever did before...

No, I will never want you less
than I really always have

And I will never need you less
than the ocean needs the shore...

Well I have to tell you something
I'm sure that you must know...

My eyes can't see just now,
the mist...
obscures my once-clear sight;

And though I've never failed to wonder how
I've always somehow found the light;

darkness bleeds amid our vow
and sadness shadows me tonight...

Because...

Now at last
I know for sure
that I...
will never love you...
any more;

But I will never love you any less
than I ever did before...

No, I will never want you less
than I really always have

And I will never need you less
than the ocean needs the shore...

I believe you have said very well, what many of us who have ever been in love, have at one time or another, felt. Well done, Jeff

For all it's worth to this poor soul, I would say the loss is not his, but hers. Though it hurts a whole lot now, time will heal the pain and soon, my friend you will love again...deeper...better...forever! Do not despair!

God Bless
Lena

PS Thanks for dropping by my site, Jeff! You're absolutely right, there are NO coincidences!

I love you but I don't love you...this is the passion of love when confused with a lost part of the heart.
I can appreciate this write.

A conundrum here Jeff...this one breaks my heart...I think you've touched a place in everyone's heart...this fear, the confusion, wanting to be strong enough to face the fear, just unwilling to let go completely.
Be strong my friend,
Taylor
