To Be In Love by Ben Franklin

Ive been in love once,
and never felt it again,
i dont want to,it came with to much pain,
i wanted to be at one,
you wanted the stars and fame.

I sat at my window for days,
or it could of been months,just waiting for
you to show,

new love?i dont want to know.

Hushy (Ben)
your poetry speaks high volumne..i feel and hear where you are comin' from i too felt like that at one time imagine me ..first love/last love lost to death at a very young age..you got it dodged every date and marriage proposal..i was not ready to face any more pain. my heart ha enough abuse..but then..m
perhaps i grew up at my wise retro age..and i welcome love into my heart if it ever comes my way for the 2nd time..don't ya think 13 years of wisin' and growin' up should be sufficient enough time to make that decision based on love? after all i still have feelin's in my heart and i burn w/so much passion..do not put a hold on love..let it find you ..let it love you..and in return shine that love right back too..great read..Terrie*

To be in love...
Boy do I know what you mean, the feeling of new love, the fear and uncertainty or wadever a new love brings. Like you, i've felt love once, and I'm not sure if i ever wanna know a new love.

fear of denial...
ive been there lots of times and when i thought i quit a new love came and destroyed me like the rest. its difficult to bring up the hearts passion with confidence again but its a wonderful feeling and even though right now i feel as if love is more bad than good, u should never close the doors to love. ive found out that denial can only make u stronger. great poem!
