I wrote this when I used to be in love with a MM. Granted we were friends for years before he got married. And I loved him before then. I ALMOST became the OW but was strong enough to let it go. That's all over and done with but the pain still remains.

 

 

I know



 

 

 

 

I know.

I know that what this is ISN’T real.

 

 

I know that I will get hurt.

 

 

I know.

 

 

I know that in the end, I won’t be there.

I know that I am imagining your love for me.

 

 

I know that I am being a bit nieve.

 

 

I know that you truly don’t care enough.

 

 

I know that your love isn’t there.

 

 

I know that one day this will all end.

 

 

I know.

 

 

I know that guys like you don’t exist.

 

 

I know that being nice to me is all an act.

 

 

I know that everyone has a motive.

 

 

I know that I am still learning.

 

 

I know that in the process, I get hurt.

 

 

I know.

 

 

I know that I am imagining we have a lot in common.

 

 

I know I am imagining that there is spark.

I know that friendships die like this.

 

 

I know that we may not ever be truly friends.

 

 

I know.

 

 

I know that even though I think it might not be real,

 

 

I know that I wish it was.

 

 

I know that I really do care for you deeply.

 

 

I know that you may care just a little bit,

 

 

But I know It’s not enough.

 

 

I know that I have morals and standards.

 

 

I know that I can’t deal with being your side dish,

 

 

I know that you will never leave for me,

 

 

This I know.

 

 

I know that maybe I might love you,

 

But I also know that you more than likely don’t love ME.

I fixed it. For those of you who tried to read it before I fixed it. It was hard to read because I copied and pasted it from a MS Word Doc.

I was really having a hard time today wanting to call the x who has a girlfriend. I just even woke up from a dream about him and even in the dream he was unavailable. I am really having a hard time because I got some bad news about my finances and I wanted tocall him and cry. I read this and haven't been able to stop crying yet. It is so true and I just have to accept that. I am so glad I didn't call and I turned my phone off because I really can't deal with people at all today.

 

I really needed this. Just shook me to the core because it is so true.

 

Everytime I feel like calling him I am gonna read this. Thanks Awesome!!

My PA has been over for years now -- He does creep into my mind from on occasion (actually saw him driving yesterday - so he has been on my mind a bit today)

Thank you SO much for putting this here. It is all SO true for my situation as well.

NOW, I push him to the back of my mind again:D....Where he belongs!!

Glad I could help. I read this today and realized that I had to post it.

 

I am not currently an OW but alot of times I come to the OM/OW forum but don't post anything. But it interests me in reading other people's stories without judgement.

 

I still love him but keep him at a far far distance and we are in different cities now. He calls sometimes to see how I am doing. And he found me on Facebook. I contemplated not accepting him as a friend. But when I did, the pain came back when I saw pictures of him and his wife.

Was considering starting a thread here tonight begging for advice on how to get through this NC time - it's been 15 days now and am in the most intolerable pain of my life. But that poem is all the advice I need for tonight. Thank you for reminding me why I ended it. Thank you for showing me I am not alone. Thank you for removing him from this pedestal I have him on, if only for these few moments. He used to come round this evening every week for a quick fumble before picking the girls up from dancing and I am feeling so lonely without it - "lunch hour" syndrome I suppose in your language! I still instinctively hoover round and spray on perfume.......

 

Wish I had your talent for outing and expressing the truth! Post more poetry!
