iM gOOd nOw

She doesn't yet realize,
or simply can not grasp.
That our perception of love,
is so different by contrast.
My love without measure,
which she's willing to lose.
Not someone she treasures,
content just being my muse.
She misses my friendship,
think I miss hers alot more.
Don't want only friendship,
I want what we had before.
Us laying together,watching
movies until she'd fall asleep.
Her calling to see if I've
yet had something to eat.
When we were together she'd
call me chulo,now its just Rick.
I also miss hearing how much
she liked my fat (insert word here)
I'd often run the tips of my
fingers down her naked back.
Play with her hair til she fell out,
because I knew she loved all that.
I still look at her horoscope,even
while not believing in that stuff.
At times it hurts hearing her voice,
being friends won't ever be enough.
My love is real,I'm quite sure It
couldn't possibly get any deeper.
Hers is about being buddys,and I
need money in order to keep her.
I love her for her,and id still love
her if she was bald,ugly or fat.
She can't be with me because I'm
broke,what kind of love is that?
I am simply the guy she calls
up to chill with late at night.
Its almost as if she wants to
try and keep me out of sight.
Like picture her with me,what
would her friends say right.
I write poems about her,she
writes 'em about other guys.
I swear I don't know why I ever
bothered,or why I continued to try.
Says she does or did love me,but I
think she just loves the idea of me.
Seems it plays into her psyche,
and compliments her vanity.
At one point it affected my sanity,
not to mention my self-esteem.
All because she refused my love,and
didn't want to be a part of my team.
See but I got my swag back,I'm
not the guy she's come to know.
Can't bring me down again,
like,I'm Ricklovin,helloooo.
See I've woken up,seen the
light,like im finally getting it.
She doesn't want or love me,but
that don't mean I'm not the shit.

Hey Rick....

Good to hear from you again, Man I was thinking about you yesterday. I see you have not changed much, your still "real" as you have ever been. It is good to also see your getting past the pain that came with Wanda. You know we all are different, there is no set time that one should take when getting past a broken heart, as long as we are making progress in the right direction, but if a memory of Wanda pops back up, and it brings you down a bit, don't be hard on yourself, it doesn't mean your weak, it may mean your human... Take care, later-Lee

hey Lee

Bro its been rough,but like the title says,I'm good now..I hadn't spoken or seen her in a month after that last poem I wrote about her,and I've been fine.I never stop thinking of her tho Lee,its a daily thing you know.but she called me like three days ago saying she missed me and stuff,but I'm not lettting myself go down that route again..I'm trying to be kool with her and be friends to a degree..I was over her house last night and had some grub and talked for a few,before it would bring me down but not anymore..I think I just came to terms that its not gonna happen,and I'm not gonna try anymore..I think she knows she's missing out on something good,that's why she keeps calling..anyway,Lee thanks for reading and writing bro,you already know. Ricklovin

Been there ...

Hey Rick, I will be 50 this August and if it's one thing I have learned in life is that it is reeeeeeeeeeeeally hard to go back. Not impossible but hard. Ever try to re-light a candle wick that was extinguished with lots of water. You can hold a lighter to the wick and it snaps and pops and takes it sweet time re-lighting, if at all. Candle wicks that were extinguished with a puff of air jump right back.
Past love can be very much just like this. It all depends how the passion, the love, the flame died. Good luck with Wanda, enjoyed the write

i think ur riight

It can be hard to go back,and it certainly matters how the relationship ended..I'm with someone now that's feels for me like I feel for Wanda..I have feelings for this girl but I don't love her as I do Wanda..now I've had plenty of women love me,but I don't think I ever really apreciated it..so I'm trying to be good and be thankful for her love..who knows when the next time will be that someone will love me like that,if ever again..but its hard when your heart and mind are with someone else...thanks ron for reading for the comment and the well wishes,I apreciate it..
