    a phone conversation

    Good morning, how are you today? Sorry about the call
    I know it's early morning but something's on my mind.
    I'm doing ok today but this is gonna hurt for real,
    it's this thing about true love that i'm hoping to one day find...
    I love you with all my heart and I say to you the truth,
    once this conversation is over, it'll be easy to see
    that things are not always what they seem.
    But this is something that's coming from deep in me...
    We can't see each other any more, I hope you understand
    that things haven't went our way and I know it sound strange.
    But this has been a long time coming and it can't wait,
    I guess what i'm saying that it's time for a change...
    I can't do this any more, but let me say what I gotta say.
    This doesn't come easy for me and I know
    that if you really wanna be in love with someone,
    they have to make sure that love can really show...
    I'm sorry i'm not the person that you need me to be.
    I wish there was some kind of way that i could even try,
    but you need someone that loves you no problem.
    You need that special love that will love you until you die...
    I'm sorry to bring this but deep down I know
    that i'm not the water you need me to be.
    You are like a budding flower and you need room to grow,
    once you get your water and bud out, you will see...
    I know we got time and there's nothing so true,
    this feeling I can no longer hide.
    I love you but i'm not in love with you,
    let's end this now and we'll leave intact our pride...
    This is hurtful enough so i'll make this quick,
    this is like a bad ending to a good love song,
    the beginning was nice, the chorus was perfect,
    but finishing it out was definitely all wrong...
    You'll forget me once you find another
    and then true love you should really see
    that the real one was the one meant for you,
    was the real one and that one just wasn't me...
    ..........goodbye to you and i'm sorry...
    Edward Orlando Griffin

    OMG!! I know this speech alllll to well. You have a unique way of expressing your thoughts. Very original. Our writing styles are very similar.

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
