I Can't Love You If I No Longer Know You

By tarnishedheart

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You always flew so close to me, me, as well as other, were honored to be your Friends. We all gave up our openness with others because we felt you were the one with all the answers. I don't know if you expect me to follow, I'm not sure what it is you want me to do. I can't love you if I no longer know you. We were all so close, but when that faithful rainbow disappeared you left me alone, and the words I hear no longer calm my curiosity. I remember a time when I found comfort in your lies, when I used to cry out loud just for those untrue words, because that was the only thing I could calm my emptiness with. Now it's gotten to the point where my subconscious won't allow me to settle for words and my heart won't let me love you if I no longer know you. You've taught me alot and one of the most important things I've learned is to be true to myself above all things, I cannot do that constantly trying to make you happy because I no longer know how to do that. I just hope one day someone you really care about does this to you, and at that time when you really need them and you reach out for a hand and you find nothing but air, I hope then you learn a lesson you have not been able to teach. The true meaning of friendship. But I want you to know that no matter what I can no longer love you if in the end I find out I no longer know you.
