Array ( [sid] => 157891 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => What I Learned From You [time] => 2010-03-04 09:24:29 [hometext] => Sometimes things are just not meant to be...... [bodytext] => What I Learned From You

I though I knew what kind of man
I was and wanted to be.
Then you entered my life and
opened my eyes to the reality.

I thought I knew what it was
and how to love those close to me.
I though I knew what was to scarifice
and put myself on the line totally.

I thought I knew about how
to look into others and really see.
I thought I was selfless and
held others feelings above mine completely.

Then there was you and the pain
I saw and the loneliness there seem to be.
I wanted so much to heal your pain
and take you away from your reality.

I thought if I loved you enough
I could consume your pain inside of me.
That it would free your heart
and your mind set you free totaly.

I hoped when you looked
and thought of us happiness you'd always see.
If I loved you enough it
would heal your soul all the way completely.

What I learned is I've got a long way
to go and so much to learn
And I'm sorry I couldn't do and
be what I thought what it was that you need.

I hope and pray when you look back
on our time that you know I really
tried and trully loved you
I just didn't know what or how to be what you need.

I'm so sorry...... Please forgive me.......

A sensitive and thoughtful poem highlighting the fact that we cannot be the healing that is needed in others lives we can only walk with them, love them and support them and hope that they will find that for themselves,
