What can I do to win your heart?
What is it about me that sets me apart?
How can I show you the way I really feel?
How can I prove to you that my love is real?
Every time I reach out to touch you
You take a step in the opposite direction
I can never understand the way you feel
Am I just another lover in your collection?
Is there someone else there that you often see?
Could he be all that you want and everything that you need?
Is there even a chance for me to win your heart?
Or should I just walk away and make a brand new start?
I really need to know, please don’t keep me waiting
It’s so hard to move on when my heart keeps anticipating
Thinking that you love me and that you will always be there
Hoping that you will return to me and that you are aware
Of just how much I love and need you in my life
How every moment without you, cuts me like a knife
You are the only one that my heart beats for
The only one that I am living for
I need to know what you are feeling inside
Can this relationship of ours stand the test of time?
Open your heart and show me your soul
Help me understand, darling I need to know
Do you really love me and want me with you?
Is this love of ours something that I should pursue?
Is it worth my time to sit around and wait?
Please tell me now, before it’s too late
My heart is aching to have you near
Please tell me the words that I want to hear
Tell me that you love me and that you will stay
For this love in my heart will never go astray
If only you could see that all of this is true
How much I want to spend the rest of my life with you
There’s nothing on earth that I wouldn’t do
To be by your side and whisper I love you
I know that someday you will surely see
That my life means nothing without you here with me
My mind is flooded with thoughts of you
There is nothing on earth that could pull me through
Except the warmth of your arms wrapped around me
Your love, devotion, and sensitivity
I will always love you with all of my heart
And I pray that you too will want to start
A loving relationship that will live on forever
A sense of unity that we will always treasure
A feeling of happiness and a dream come true
Darling it can happen, if you’ll just love me too
Author notes
We all try so hard to fall in love. What's even harder is staying in love. Sometimes it's so difficult when the person you love loses sight of that.

It's hard to to fall in love with someone but never reciprocated.
What do we do? Move on and let go of the feeling that never gave back in return. Somewhere out there... someone is waiting for you.
Very good write.
Good luck in the contest, son Jeremy.

Is this love of ours something that I should pursue?
Is it worth my time to sit around and wait?
Please tell me now, before it’s too late
Those three lines relate so much to how I feel these days. For me your author comment ["we all try so hard to fall in love"] is the opposite for me. Falling in love is the greatest risk. But when you fall in love without trying or making any attempt, it's beautiful
... until you doubt the person who you love doesn't feel the same 
.
Anyhow. Beautiful poem, it was a pleasure to read.

Hello, thanks for your comments on "If You'll Just Love Me Too". To answer your question, I don't know how those smileys got there! They just appeared after I sent in the poem. lol Thanks for reading and take care!
-
This is a nice write if you can look pass all the smiley faces. Can I ask what were you trying to write? Maybe you were trying to say . Am I right? Just asking because if you put the : and p together you get this
. But this is a good write though.
-
I don't know what happened when I posted this poem! lol Please disregard the Smileys. Thanks!
