Nobody Knows

I've been alone for several years now. I'm a single father of 2 wonderful children, ages 16 and 14. I was diagnosed with a terminal illness not long ago and given a time frame to live. Not being able to sleep, I joined a couple chat rooms. I immediately struck up a conversation with a charming young lady. We hit it off, and feelings began to form, so against my better judgment, I informed her of my condition. She was very upset, but she kept chatting. A few days later she introduced me to her friend. I was confused as I had feelings for her. It wasn't long into the conversation that I realized why she had done this. The woman she introduced me to has an illness that may or may not be terminal, depending on transplant. I have grown to love this woman very much, and for the first time in my life I feel true love. Even though we are thousands of kilometers away, I can feel her with me. I'll never meet this love of mine, but she's in my soul.

I'm taken aback at how well you know my story. It's like this was written just for me. Thank you. I have so much respect for you.

I loved someone so badly. I was like mad. I wanted to marry her, but there were cast differences and her father refused. Now she is married, living happily. I am married, too, but I just can't forget her. She is in my mind and heart all the time, even though it has been 7 year.

Exactly how I feel right now. I let go of the guy I loved so much. Nobody can see how much I love him and miss him. I let him go because I saw myself getting bad. But every day I'm getting a little but stronger. I decided I needed a change with myself, so I've decided to change a lot about me. My hair color, eye color, style, and get right with myself. I gotta let this pain go somehow. Even though I miss him like hell, I know it was the right thing to do.

I am also going through my wife having an affair. We've been married for 12 years. I caught them together. We have decided to try and work through it. It's a scary time for us. But I'm so hurt! This is not like the woman I fell for all those years ago. Thanks for sharing.

I was about to cry when I was reading this poem. I am a student who loves a girl. She was my classmate, and I would do anything for her. Actually, I wanted to marry her. I proposed to her and she accepted after one month. We started talking more on the phone. One said she asked if we wanted to live together. Our families did not accept us because we are not in the same caste. She asked her father about inter-caste marriage, and he refused. She told me and said to forget it. How is that possible? I don’t understand why India is divided on the basis of caste. Everyone has two hands, two eyes, one nose, two hands, and two legs. Why does it have to be this way?

I sacrificed my heart for my wife. She promised never to break it. Twelve years, 2 beautiful kids in, I find out she has been having an affair. I've been loyal all these years, putting up with her lies, secrets, and bullcrap 'cause I love her. Funny thing is that I still do but can't go back 'cause trust is key in any relationship. Pretty much put up with a sexless marriage, and I didn't cheat. I tried everything to get her attention with no success as she was having an affair. I'm heartbroken. She thinks I'm mad and all. I'm hurting, feeling lost, disappointed, confused.

I remember when I sacrificed myself for my ex. I threw away my heart for him, and he says he never loved me. We were together for 3 years.

This is so touching! It exactly explains how I feel. I had a breakdown at school and my friends are asking me what's wrong, but the problem is that one of my closest friends moved away and I have family problems. How are you supposed to answer that question if you don't know what to say?!

This poem speaks deeply to me, I fell in love with a girl who didn't share my feelings. For so long I had to pretend that I was okay with just being friends, and it sucks. The feeling of entrapment and soul leeching hurt combined is just too much. I still love her from the bottom of my heart but I have to move on with my life. It helps to know that other people know how I feel and understand because sometimes it feels like I'm the only one. Thank you.
