Well I can eat but I can't sleep
I don't know if I should rejoice or weep.
My confidence is so very weak,
I want to know if I'm who you seek.

I'm so absolutely petrified
that your approval of me may be denied.
I wonder what's on your mind.
Should I seek your heart until it's mine?

God, have I been there!! This poem, describes so well, the ambiguity that goes along with being interested in someone, and, not knowing if they are feeling the same way about you. At least, that's what I got from it. Keep up the writing. I really like your poems. And, I can most certainly identify with this one. Nice job!

Peace, and, Love,

Maybe, you could have a candid conversation with this guy, whoever he is. I don't know if this is an actual situation in your life right now, or if it's just a poem you posted, but, I've been feeling much the same way for quite some time. So, I understand. I do happen to believe, that in my situation, this guy should just talk to me. I won't take my own advice and actually initiate the conversation, (I have my reasons), ambiguity, mostly, being my reason. I just don't know (much like you) if it would be well received. So, I just keep my mouth shut, and, wonder, and, wish that we could spend some time together, and, he would initiate the conversation. Hope things work out for both you, and, me. Maybe, you could tell him about this website, and, he could read your poems. That, might be a step in the right direction. At least, it would be dropping some kind of a hint. Well, hope my suggestions helped some.

Peace, and, Love

Thank you Barb and Cgirl.

Cgirl, you read the poem right but there's so much more to it. I do talk to this guy as he is neighbor of mine going through kemo at the moment. I come from an emotional abusive marriage just a year ago where it was drilled into my head that my husband and his family were the only ones I should have in my life because no one else woud care.

I made my neighbor a greeting card with a poem in it that was on a friendly note. Since he just started kemo again last Thusday I thought I would let him know he could call on me.

This is what I wrote for the inside of the greeting card I sent to him.

Please, please my dear neighbor,
Don't feel like a bother,
To call or give me a holler,
When chores are stacked taller,
Or empty stomachs are callling,
Or just to be picked up when falling.

And Cgirl, I would go ahead and talk to the guy you talk about on a friendly note. I wish the best for you.

I like that, ((((((Bee)))))).

A pleasant card to take his mind off of the chemo. And a little poem to show him your wonderful inner self

Hugs.

Thanks Barbara.

I ended up getting back together with my ex. The guy I was interested in is just this guy that I met about a month ago at an auction. I gave him my # and told him where I worked. He started coming in and, leaving me 10$ tips for coffee and pancakes. But, he never called me, or, asked me out or anything. He would talk to me as if he were interested, and, leave me really big tips, but, never anything else. Pretty ambiguous ha? He knew I was recently divorced, but, never knew that my ex was still living with me. Unless, my friend told him. But, I had told him not to do so. So, whatever. Just another pretty face, I guess. Doesn't matter now anyway.

Peace, and, Love

P.S. I removed my thanks up there, because, I wanted you to read this instead.
