Have I always loved you?
Yours weren't the footprints I expected to see as
I walk down a path that's already been set.
The logic escapes me that I feel so completely this
Wasn't the lifetime in which we first met.
An invisible cord ties your heart to mine and
I'm left to wonder when this thread was first spun.
Can the stirring I feel whenever I'm near you mean
That something between us has been left undone?
Did this heated emotion once burn unchecked a
Lifetime ago, maybe two, maybe three?
Was I ever your child, your lover, your brother and
Do you ever wonder the same thoughts of me?
Why are we here at a time in our lives when
Our hearts aren't completely ours to give?
To have you nearby but never quite have you:
To know I'm alive but not free to live.
If you're not to be with me in this present moment and
Were ever beside me in some glorious past,
Oh to have just the memory to hold to for comfort
Til our moment together can happen at last.
For to think of the future is to hope for a lifetime of
Sharing a path from beginning to end.
For now I'll consider myself to be lucky to
Live in the present and call you my friend.
Written by me ages ago at a time of self discovery. I just hope it appeals to someone out there who's trying to find love and wonders what's real and what isn't? I just wish I could figure out how to put the lines closer together. Why does it double space between lines? I've read other poetry on here that seems to work fine! This paragraph is fine!

That is wonderful. You did a great jo on this...Were you in love at the time??John
I was falling in love with somebody that I couldn't really have. My marriage was horrible, his was too, and we both had enough respect for our relationships and vows to not get together unless we knew it was really the right time. It was never meant to be, but it was this relationship that taught me so very much about life and love.
