My Feelings For You. Poem by Sandra Kavanagh Josefsson

My feelings for you.

My feelings for you,
was just that: mine.
My love for you,
was just that: mine.
And when the love
is just one-sided,
The 'love' story continues for awhile
undivided.

How was I to know your depth of feeling was not the same as mine?
How could I compare when two people are different in every way?
It takes time to get to know each other and many people do not even know themselves and never may.

They say love is shown by deeds not words.
They say love is shown by commitment not selfish pursuits.
But I believe it is shown by giving one
space and allowing one to be themselves.
I believe true love grows in time.

My feelings for you
was just that: mine.
My love for you
was just that: mine.
And when the love is just
one-sided,
The 'love' story continues for
awhile undivided.
