Very rarely do I read the poems, but am glad I did this one. Nice find
Hugz_n_Kissez: I agree..keeping feelings hidden...does you no good...while you watch the one you have feelings for waltz way with someone else...
I find myself doing this. It is a true flaw I have. It's not that I have a confidence problem or a problem expressing myself,but more so, I dunno, a problem with that first contact. I usually like the woman to take the first step in initiating contact. I don't quite know why because I'm ok with rejection and like I said, confidence & expression are also never the problem. But yeah, great poem
Hugz_n_Kissez: The problem with our world is that people rarely listen to each other. They hear the words, but they don't listen to the actions that accompany the words or the expression on the face. Or people listen only for rejection or misunderstanding. They do not see the love that is there just beneath the surface, even if the words are angry. We have to listen for love in those around us.
If we listen intently we will discover that we are a lot more loved than we realize. Listen for love and we will find that the world is a very loving place, after all.LOVE is a happy thing. It makes us laugh. It makes us sing. It makes us sad. It makes us cry. It makes us seek the reason why. It makes us take. It makes us give. Above all else it makes us LIVE.It is not the presence or absence of people that makes the difference because a person need not be lonely even if he is alone. Sometimes it is good to be alone. But that does not make us lonely. It is not a matter of being present WITH someone. It is a matter of being present TO someone.
So remember...If you love someone, tell them. Remember always to say what you mean. Never be afraid to express yourself. Take this opportunity to tell someone what they mean to you. Seize the day and have no regrets.
Most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped make you the person that you are today and are what it's all about anyway.
Hugz, you're so right with this post. It took me years to understand the love my parents expressed through their anger and fear...it took feeling those myself as a parent to truly understand it completely.
Yes, I make sure that I take the time to listen to my children, and to make sure that I let them know that I love them, and that I'm listening to them. My older son and I just had a deep talk about that yesterday...an altercation at my friend's house while assembling her desk turned into a conversation where I learned he doesn't feel that anyone listens when he talks, including me. I let him know that I heard him, and I would work on that...I never want him to feel that I don't listen to him, or that I don't love him in any way. So, I listened, and I will listen more carefully. And in letting him know that, I let him know that I truly do love him. And I know from my experiences with my parents that doing that healed a lot of hurt, and that our relationship will be even better.
Love is never too proud to say, "I'm sorry. I'll work on that."

Still, they have their right to their love life too I suppose, I just put on some music and all is fine.
True...loud music and a fan at night and you won't hear a thing....
