I never said “I love you”, but thought you knew. You want romance, passion and love expressed openly which I can’t do. You deserve to have what you need. So I will let you go without my feelings ever being known. It’s the greatest proof of my love I have to give. S.S.
Looking back,
I have this to regret,
that too often when I loved,
I did not say so.
David Grayson
Regularly I read or hear you are doing well and your career continues to blossom. I am so proud of you and grateful once you loved me and I called you mine. Becoming a rock star was your dream. Mine was to be with you. Glad yours came true. Sad mine did not. S.W.
If you listen to the wind very carefully,
you’ll be able to hear me
whisper my love for you.
Andrew Davidson
Yesterday my Momma said ” Sweetie, if she does not care why should you? Don’t keep fightin’ for a woman who will not fight for you in return. Life is too short and there’s someone out there who will be just as interested in you as you are in her. Move on so she can find you.” R.B.
Cause I loved her from a distance
Like an angel watching from afar
I never had the nerve to mention
The fire burning in my heart.
I knew a boy like me
Never would’a stood a chance
So I did the best I could
And I loved her from a distance.
From the song “From A Distance” by Corey Smith
You’ve gone home to a country on the other side of the world. You won’t be back. I don’t know how to reach you. You’ll never know I love you because I didn’t find the courage to say it. You’ll remember me only as a co-worker but I will carry you in my heart always. S.S.
Grey rocks, and greyer sea,
And surf along the shore —
And in my heart a name
My lips shall speak no more.The high and lonely hills
Endure the darkening year —
And in my heart endure
A memory and a tear.Across the tide a sail
That tosses, and is gone —
And in my heart the kiss
That longing dreams upon.Grey rocks, and greyer sea,
And surf along the shore —
And in my heart the face
That I shall see no more.
“Grey Rocks and Greyer Sea” by Sir Charles George Douglas Roberts
You were in my dreams before I ever knew you. I was shaken to the core of my being on the first sight of you. I yearn for us to know one another. Maybe we’d fall in love. But you’re with another and my ethics will never allow me to say a word to you about my hopes. A.W.
Love, he told himself,
was open to interpretation
like any other abstract indulgence
but followed the same principles everywhere…
One, either won or lost in love,
there was no bridge in between,
and he decided he had lost,
lost to himself, if not to her.
Faraaz Kazi
Loving you was not the first time I’d given my heart, nor will it be the last. However, there’s something unmistakably unique about what I felt for you and feel to this very moment. I have resigned myself to it never changing. From a distance I will always love you. J.B.
Thinking of you is easy.
I do it every day.
Missing you is the heartache,
that never goes away.
Michael Pryce
I don’t let anyone see, but I cry at times when I think of you. If I’m alone it’s easy to give in to missing you, wanting you and loving you. After what you did that makes me a fool, but I don’t care. I’d get on my knees and beg if I thought it would get you to come back to me. D.H.
I have stood before you
Smiling and loving.
I have laid beside you
Naked and blushing.
I have knelt behind you
Pleading and begging.
I have cowered beneath you
shaking and crying.
I have closed my eyes
bared my soul.
quenched my dreams
lost my pride…
Taken from “Me” by Carrie Baker
You’ll never know I go to sleep thinking of you. It’s then I lose myself in wishing we could be together as my imagination takes me to a place of secret fantasy. Then I remember you’re married and cry myself to sleep. You’ll never know how much I love you. T.M.
Love that we can not have
is the one that lasts the longest,
hurts the deepest
and feels the strongest…
Kay Knudsen
I’ve recovered from a lot of pain before, but I can’t seem to get over you. Pretending I don’t love you hasn’t worked. Putting all physical memories of us in a box & leaving it at a friend’s house didn’t help. Most of me is still with you where ever you are. Please come back. E.B.
The sky without stars:
like sleep without dreams
like song without music
like rose without smell
like face without smile
like ME without YOU!
Unknown
I have loved you for years but never made my feelings known to you. The courage to speak what was in my heart never came. You married another man and my feeling for you must remain forever a secret. My sad destiny is the heartbreak of loving you from a distance. C.L.
To him she seemed so beautiful, so seductive, so different from ordinary people,
that he could not understand why no one was as disturbed as he
by the clicking of her heels on the paving stones,
why no one else’s heart was wild with the breeze
stirred by the sighs of her veils,
why everyone did not go mad
with the movements of her braid,
the flight of her hands, the gold of her laughter.
He had not missed a single one of her gestures,
not one of the indications of her character,
but he did not dare approach her for fear of destroying the spell.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
