To Win The Love Of The Untrusting

To win the love of the untrusting, the hurt, the scared, open your heart as a friend.
Be a friend through hard times. Don't push love onto the broken hearted, just lead them to happiness. Show them first, and above all, you are their friend. Let them know the love is there when they need it.

To give friendship before love is important in all relationships, but necessary for the broken hearted. So show me you're my friend...Show me I can trust you, can count on you to be there, first as my friend, and secondly as my love. Only after friendship is given will my heart surrender.

Walk with me along the beach, hold me in front of the fire, cuddle with me while watching TV, and gaze in awe with me at the wonder of the stars. Lead me to the happy places; lend me a shoulder to cry on when we walk through the sad ones. Let love take the form of friendship so you don't scare me away.

Don't push me into saying "I love you," I am not ready for that. Be okay with me saying "I like you" and we will get along just fine. Smile with me when I am happy, frown with me when I am sad. Hug me in the good times, and more importantly, during the bad. Wipe the tears from my eyes and tell me I have nothing to fear. Only when I know that, will my love flow freely.

Share yourself with me, let me know what makes you live and love. Tell me what fascinates you, what scares you, and what makes you laugh. Show me who you are. Open up and let me know you, only then will I allow you to know me.

very nice

This Is The Night

Walking along the beach at sunset
The soft breeze smells refreshingly sweet

Passion is surrounding us and we can sense the heat
The trees dancing to our melody, the waves slapping our tender feet

This is the night...The night we have that special sight
Out in the open flying so free, thank you for bringing me.

The sound of the swan's calling, the feel of us falling
Down, down, down to the soft, damp ground

This is the night and the time is oh, so right
Out in the open flying so free, thank you for bringing me.

Two hearts for two very nice poems
I'll go with the first as my pick,wink.
But both are good..

Thanks iam4u. I like the first the best too.. I have several poems.. I'll post one about friendship now..

Meaning of the Heart

In life we have many people we call our friends...but when you really think about it, how many of your friends would be there, with you through anything? Life has it's ups and it's downs...Often the friends we choose are great during the "ups" and nowhere to be found during the "downs."

A friend is someone who is there...no matter what. Someone to laugh with. Someone to hold you up when you just know you're going to fall. Someone who knows you...sometimes even better than you know yourself.

A friend is someone who cares enough about you to learn all those unimportant things...Things that are more important than you realize. Someone who is not afraid to give you a reality check when yours has bounced.

In you, I have truely found a real friend. You have been there to laugh with, and whether you realize it or not, to cry with. You have held me up even if you didn't know it. You have opened my eyes when I was blind...And opened my mind when I couldn't see.

I don't know how or when, but you somehow got into this heart of mine. You know me, it seems, better than I know myself. I value you. I value our friendship. You cared enough to learn those "Unimportant" things. You have taken the time to understand me.

I just want to say, when you need me, I will be there. I will hold you up if you ever need it... Laugh with you, cry with you...as a friend. For I hope that I can be as good a friend to you as you are to me.
