When you feel it’s so right
And it never tasted this fine
He fills up your life with joy
He makes your smiles shine
And your heart skips a beat
Every time you hear his name
And yet deep down you know
He just doesn’t feel the same
What do you do? What do you do?
What do I do?
He just doesn’t feel the same
Comes close, makes me breathless
Holds tight, loves me reckless
Then he goes, he’ll come again
I don’t know when
I don’t know when
I would love, I could love, I should love every day of my life
He’ll shut me down, run away, hide away if I say the word wife
He makes my heart burn, lights up my flame
What a waste, what a shame, is it me that is to blame?
Is this the new, the normal way of lovers?
Only truly together when you’re both under the covers
Then each goes their way until the next time
I grew up thinking this was just a love crime
Nowadays is this just the way things have got to be?
A man in your life is no longer a monopoly
Is it the new love, to pretend you don’t see
That he sees no reason for loyalty?
What do I do? I’m so in love
He just doesn’t feel the same
Comes close, makes me breathless
Holds tight, loves me reckless
Then he goes, he’ll come again
I don’t know when
I don’t know when
What do I do? I’m so in love
He just doesn’t feel the same

I feel your confusion. And I suppose this is the new way!

People try to re-write the rule book. They make their own right and wrong.
It is confusing. I makes for an empty shallow life.

So true. And against human nature, which wants and needs commitment and permanence.

Hey that really hurts. I don’t know how people change so much. How they not feel the same way for you. Love you the same way they did. And just leave and never turn back.

My parents reared me to think of having one marriage mate for life.
I have come across both men and women who seem to think they can have multiple casual connections and don’t see any reason for loyalty.
There is a very diverse array of views, morals, standards and it is a strange challenge when you fall in love with someone who does not have the same view as you.

Yes indeed it is.
Even my mother has taught me to be loyal and supporting but I too have come across people who are ready to betray and don’t even bother about others emotions.
They just want to enjoy life but I don’t know how cheating their partner counts as enjoyment.

I’ve hear about this feeling before. It’s frustrating, painful and sometimes depressing.
I hope this is fiction, otherwise it’s very sad

I must admit my poems are rather thin on the ground.
I have one poem I am immensely proud of called River. I wrote it twenty years ago and it has been dear to my heart ever since.
The other one I was surprised with is called Rainbow Fields Forever. It was in response to a picture prompt provided by another blogger. I looked at the picture and the words came to me almost instantly. I was fairly pleased with it, but it had lots of likes the day I published it which really encouraged me.
