I said I did and I still do

+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+
When you asked me if I cared for you,
I said, I did and I still care for you.
+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+
When you asked me if I liked you,
I said, I did and I still like you.
+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+
When you asked me if I missed you,
I said, I did and I still miss you.
+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+
When you asked me if I thought of you,
I said, I did and I still think of you.
+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+
When you asked me if I dreamed you
I said, I did and I still dream of you.
+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+
When you asked me if I loved you,
I said, I did and I still do love you.
+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+
Then you asked me why I walked away from you.
I said, “I thought you knew.”
"You never loved me, but I did and I still do."
+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+--=--+
And if,
You asked me if I wanted to come back to you.
I would say, my heart did and it still wants to.
But my brain denied,
It said, “I have had enough for you.”

About this poem:
I found myself so stupid to have loved you. That time my heart said, “Go ahead!” my brain said, “No, hold on!” I ignored my brain; followed my heart and you torn me apart. This time I’ll follow my heart and listen to my brain. And then I’ll learn to love again.

Its a sad poem Sunandsea. But I know exactly where youre coming from.But the brain really does need to engage. Else you are not treating yourself with the worthiness your self deserves. Great write.teddybearteddybear

Hi Sassy,
Your display here is overwhelming in its symbolism...the rationalists would say I think therefore I am, the romantics would say I feel therefore I am...thinking and feeling..that's an equation that will always be under construction. Nicely conceived. wine hug teddybear

Hi, thesunandthesea,
It's always good to consult with the brain and allow it to accompany you as your heart leads the way. Your poem conveys well the vulnerability faced. Every relationship has its own tolerance level for heart-v-brain control. When lifelines begin and end with a plus (+), one may be considered ahead in the game of life!
