I do wonder

Sometimes love comes amid many complications.

I do wonder......

About all these feelings I have for you I wish you'd tell me what to do I do wonder...... I don't want this to end badly Since I'm in love with you so madly I do wonder...... What it would be like to enjoy your smile all the more Since I crave seeing you walk through any door I do wonder...... About how I want to stay true But I don't know what else to do I do wonder...... Why I can't stop thinking of you Even though I really should want to I do wonder....... About me telling you what's in my heart And how your reaction could tear me apart

Hum...I came upon this from an old review you id for me. I do wonder, now, it's been 4 years since you posted this. Has your wonder claimed an answer? I do wonder....

The red font is perfect. A dichotomy of love potential or bleeding nothing. Love it!

Thank you so much! I actually wrote this is 2005. It was a mistake that I'm glad I didn't make. 🙂

Alrighty then! That kind of negates my advice: Just talk. Do not 'push' for anything more than friendship until you both "know"...and you will.

[DIVYA]

One sided love or one that comes with encumbrances can be quite a weight to bear. Always subdued, always hushed, it almost always gets crushed under its own burden of guilt, of longings choked too long. Your words are very relatable and the angst is palpable throughout.

Thank you! This situation wasa crazy and unwise one. Yikes!

[Kaylor Mason]

Wondering too much can drive you crazy. I love how you made the text red--it showed the urgency of the man's heart. I also like the honesty of it. Nice work.

[Yellow Submarine.]

It was about a real situation. Thank you for reading!

Jeez, you shouldn't have to guess. You see it clearly in their eyes (eyes can't lie) or they come out and say unless they too have a hard time expressing themselves then I don't know.🤷
Glad I found this. I'm enjoying your work Frankie 😊

[Yellow Submarine.]

[Yellow Submarine.]

You can never be certain with love. Only fools rush in.

Chris

[Yellow Submarine.]

I agree! And I was a fool in this situation ....

[Chris Shaw]

Better luck next time.

[Jane Bruce]

Aww so sweet, I was almost saying, "Tell him, tell him"

[Yellow Submarine.]

Thank you Jane. I appreciate you reading this.

Captures the uncertainty of love so clearly. well done

[Muse]

This gives new meaning to the term "wonder lust" ...we are creatures of curiosity. Unfortunately feelings of curiosity are not always met with mutual generosity. A respectable penning.

[Yellow Submarine.]

I agree. This was about a really unfortunate situation ......

[Muse]

Most poems are from heart ache. Ever noticed that?

[Yellow Submarine.]

That is true. I'm just glad this situation described didnt end up nearly as badly as it could have. Thank you for getting that

[likesgreeneggsandham]

I really enjoyed this. So much uncertainty in loves often losing game. As William Stafford says we should let others KNOW when we are awake to their love. I hope you did.

[Yellow Submarine.]

I did. 👍

[Yellow Submarine.]

I am glad I did. But it didn't go well. 😟

Your poem is a strong depiction of that kind of person who is so unsure of him/herself in love, he/she needs constant reassurance & guidance. I want to shake this person & tell him/her to come alive & have some self-confidence. Nobody falls in love with a doormat who only tries to reflect appropriately. People fall in love with someone who is separate & distinct. This poor fool is going to move thru romance trying to seek approval, which is the biggest turn-off, in my opinion. I don't say this as a critique of your writing. I think you've captured the typical mindset very well. This is how most people operate, filled with uncertainty & lack of conviction. I love a poem that provokes a strong reaction in whatever direction the words take each different reader! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

The protagonist here is very much in love with a married woman. He is uncertain since he's quite sure the relationship he wants won't materialize. He's devastated over that realization. Thank you immensely for your reading this and your fine thoughts.

I like knowing what your intent for this poem was, but I also believe that we have to let go of our poems & let the reader take it wherever the message takes the reader & it's fun to find out where different readers take a piece! *smile*

[Yellow Submarine.]

You are quite insightful
