Our Love Is Real Poem by Lisa AT

Two souls, deeply drawn, intensely desired,
Their connection magnetic, a love that inspired.
In lingering gazes, comfortable silences, and unspoken feelings too,
Their hearts beat as one, in a love that shone true.

But wanting someone isn't always enough, it's true,
When timing, healing, and readiness aren't aligned anew.
He was emotionally unavailable, scared to be seen,
Vulnerability his foe, walls built to shield his dream.

His past had taught him to shut down, to survive on his own,
To carry the weight, without letting love call him home.
And she, a heart that felt deeply, often too much,
An overthinker, lost in doubt, and the fear of being crushed.

Their love languages differed, his cautious, hers intense,
She from a distance, reserved, his needing reassurance to make sense.
She didn't know how to be open, he didn't know how to be secure,
Misunderstandings piled up, their love, a puzzle, hard to endure.

The connection was real, but barriers stood tall,
Emotional safety and understanding, essential, after all.
It ended not with a bang, but a quiet, fading light,
A slow realisation, love, though strong, couldn't thrive without the fight.

They didn't walk away, for lack of care,
But because caring sometimes isn't enough, when love's not learned to share.
They parted ways, two souls, still yearning to be free,
A love that could've been, if only he'd learned to love, wild and carelessly.
