A relationship is a connection between two individuals. When a couple falls in love it has become a loving relationship.

A loving relationship may build slowly like a train coming in the distance until when it gets to you it emits a deafening roar. Or you may be two people totally oblivious to the relationship that is developing when suddenly you are hit with the realization that you have fallen in love. People are complex and love develops in different ways.

1. A Moment Of Truth
Love Forever PoemMy dear love, I wanted to share
My thoughts, my feelings and
What makes me despair.
I want to share with you
What makes me happy what makes me feel blue...
So you can sense that my love is honest and true.
Every day, not a single minute
Passes by without you in it.
Your skin, your voice, your body and your touch.
All of these moments, I miss them so much.
You are so present, so deep in my heart,
And our souls, I just know, will never part,
But circumstance and distance can be so overwhelming
They close doors and create doubt and we start blaming.
There are actions of mine, and I know that for sure,
That feel so wrong, though my intentions are pure.
They are painful and impossible to bear,
And you feel it's all so unfair.
You can't run from yourself;
There is no place to hide.
It just hurts you so deep.
It hurts your heart and your pride.
Then I worry that if I continue to stay.
Will it be wrong and will I be in your way?
I fear that I am not at all what you need
And that this truth will make my heart break and bleed.
Then I sit here and wipe away my tears,
Wishing you could kiss away my fears.
If only you knew how much
I miss and need your embrace and your touch.
I know I can't hide from my thoughts and my fear,
And I know at these times I don't seem near,
But you break down these walls
With the strength of your love,
And then I feel blessed
From God above!
My love for you runs so deep through my veins
That I dream of you, in spite of the pain.
Latest Shared StoryI remember you, my darling, though distance and circumstances have kept us apart. You should know that even in silence love flows. I will never stop dreaming about you, waiting for the day...

3. Trials
Overcoming Hardship Makes A Relationship StrongerTimes have been tough, and things have gone wrong,
But the deep love we share has been there all along.
You say why go on, there's nothing that's right,
But we never give up; we continue to fight.
There's a light of love that gives us our sight.
Our hearts may get dark at times, but we know there is light.
We both have situations not fair,
But inside we get through them because of something special we share.
The trials make you aware of the way we feel,
A love that is not fake but so very real.
I know at times that it seems like a raw deal,
But we must get through these trails until we are healed.
Trials are not easy, and you feel there's no hope.
There are times when you feel you're at the end of your rope,
But you must go down deep in the pit of your heart.
Let it stop your despair and give a new start.
For true love for each other is a gift some never get,
So when that trial comes, don't ever forget
That there is a rare thing we share that had to come from above,
And those trials will end; what got you through was pure love.Latest Shared StoryThis poem totally touches my heart. My boyfriend dumped me when I was pregnant in 2010. I cried and cried many times, but he came back to me after 1 year. Now we are in love or 9 years. Our...

Poem For A Loved One With DepressionMy darling, my girl,
Why are you so sad?
Why can't you see that life is not all bad?
You're my angel.
Please don't cry,
I don't understand, so please tell me why?
Your beautiful face,
Your fading smile,
I vow to make you happy for more than just a while.
You're so precious,
Why can't you see?
I beg you to break that chain,
Then you'll be free.
The past is gone,
It's not going to change,
But the future is yours...

5. Remember The First
Poem Remembering Progression Of RelationshipI remember the first time you talked to me,
I wasn't sure what to do.
No one ever talked to me.
This was something different,
But something good.
I remember the first note you gave me
That made my hands shake as I took it from you.
It made me realize someone cared,
That I wasn't completely alone,
And that if I left this world someone would know.
I remember our first dance together.
My mind was focused on the wrong guy.
I should have known it was you.
All along it was you,
And I'm glad you were the one to catch me.
I remember the first time you were sick.
I watched you carefully as you laid in my lap,
All along afraid you would go,
So small and warm it was then I knew I wanted to keep you.
I remember the first time I felt jealousy,
The feeling was foreign, something new,
A blinding anger that made no sense.
I wanted it gone and the other girl too.
All along I knew I was better for you.
I tried turning my anger by ridding myself of you.
The attempts were less than half hearted,
Even then you were the best thing I had.
The first humiliation and first time you held my hand
I was nervous, ashamed and wondering how much I really meant to you,
But then that simple gesture stopped my shaking, made me smile through fear.
You could make anything better.
I remember the first time I started to love you.
It was another new feeling, but it came so naturally.
You helped me through everything; you were always there.
I knew it was right, I knew you were mine.
I remember the first time I kissed you,
Sitting quietly at night on the porch.
The world seemed to stand still just for us.
I was nervous again, but in a much better way.
I had butterflies for days.
Remember the first time I started to trust you.
It was the strangest feeling you had yet to give.
I told you my secrets, my past and my fears.
You never left me like I thought you would.
You will stand by me through it all.
Do you remember the first time I listened to your heart?
I let my head lay on your chest, my hand lay gently on your face.
Time stood still above the world and we watched it all, just me and you.
Listening to yours set my own at ease.
I remember the first time I felt safe.
Curled up right in your lap
You promised to never hit me, to never try and hurt me.
You don't know what that meant to me,
It made me love you even more.
It is such a beautiful and amazing thing to know,
That you'll never hurt me.
Do you remember the first time I believed you?
You held me in your arms as we danced across the floor
You painted me a picture of forever,
I listened in astonishment because somehow, suddenly I knew it was true.
Remember all the firsts and the lasts.
I know we will have more if you spend forever with me.
I'll do anything to keep you, I'll never let you go.
You are the only one and you'll always be.
I will love you forever.Latest Shared StoryAt the beginning I loved a woman, and she didn't know I existed. My love kept growing, and still she wasn't aware of what was going on inside my heart about her. Wherever you are and whatever...

6. A Love Almost Lost
Poem About Almost Getting DivorcedShe pulled up the drive, and as she got out,
I said to myself, "There is no doubt,
The most beautiful thing I've seen in my life.
This woman before me will be my wife."
Campfire stories and fun four wheeling,
The loose grip on my shirt feeling.
"You better hold on with all of your might.
Our ride begins, starting tonight."
Wrapping her arms tight around my waist
After full throttle she got her first taste.
I promised to love her till the day that I die.
I put a ring on her finger with no wonder why.
Our love grew stronger and her heart I won,
So she blessed my world and gave me a son.
After many years had come and gone
Something had happened, something went wrong.
Why did we let things get so tough?
Why were our words so harsh and rough?
When she left that night, I died inside.
My anger built up and fueled my pride.
I thought it was over and wanted it so.
I thought it was time to let her go.
The lyrics of Tritt echoed as I hit the floor,
"I'm tired of pretending I don't love you anymore."
The tears flowing like a hurricane rain,
The heart I have, feeling so much pain.
I let "the one" walk out of my life,
The one I was once proud to call my wife.
Oh, what I would give to feel her touch,
Hold her in my arms and kiss her so much.
Make love to her like it was my last.
If only we could let go of the past.
Moving forward I will make it right.
I will not give up the hardest fight
To set out and accomplish our new found goals,
To defeat the demons within our souls.
We will overcome our flaws and our fears,
Even if it means shedding more tears.
My life without her I now have seen.
An empty throne beside me that belongs to my Queen.Latest Shared StoryThank you, Martin. A big reason for me sharing this poem was to let others know that even when you think there's nothing left, love that is true and pure can and will come through. It's not...

7. I Love You
Poem About The Ups And Downs Of RelationshipsI know you're there
but my world is so bare.
Nothing is standing in your way,
I'm hoping you can make it one more day.
Our relationship has grown so strong,
where could we have went so wrong.
You were there when I needed you,
Now I'm here for you to need me too.
My love for you will stay the same,
never will I forget your name.
By my side, you will always stay,
I'll think of you day by day.Latest Shared StoryManuel, my days are complete every day you wake up next to me. The hours of my day run by, knowing after work I run home to your smiles. My nights are so warm because your arms wrapped around...

Poem About Being Afraid To Love AgainAfraid to love
Afraid to hold
All the stories untold
Why am I afraid

9. I Saw You Today
Memories Of Past LoveWhile walking today as I normally do
I turned around and your face came into view.
My heart beating fast just took my breath away
totally speechless with nothing to say.
I remembered things that were spoken the day we said goodbye
and how bad I felt when I saw you cry.
Just then someone took you by the hand
it seemed that you were happy and life has treated you grand.
So with one more glance at your beautiful face
I knew that someone else had taken my place.
So memories of you will in my heart forever stay
and I am so thankful I saw you again today.Latest Shared StoryThis poem is exactly like my past. It has really touched my heart.:)

10. Communication
Communicating Is Key To A Successful RelationshipCommunication takes practice,
it's never perfect.
Sometimes not patient,
sometimes not kind,
but you have to say
what's on your mind.
Lend an ear,
listen, not just hear,
to the ones
you love so dear.
Communication is not
a one-way street.
It takes two
to concur this feat.
Communication is hard, you see,
but in the end, it is key
to that great relationship
we all want and need.
Open your heart,
say what's on your mind.
When you are partners for life,
there's nothing to hide. Latest Shared StoryMy partner and I separated a month ago because I won't get off my high horse and take the help handed to me. I wouldn't communicate with her or be able to have a conversation with her. So now...

11. The Two Of Us
What Happened To Our Marriage?I wish I knew what has become of the two of us
We used to talk, now I can't speak anymore
I'm told I speak way too loud
Nothing I have to say ever comes out right
I wish I knew what has become of the two of us
We used to have fun
Now we can't stand to be around one another
All we ever seem to do is fight
I wish I knew what has become of the two of us
We used to laugh
Now all I want to do is cry
You no longer hold me in your arms at night
I wish I knew what has become of the two of us
We spoke of the future quite often
Now it just seems bleak and blind
We no longer have the sunshine that is so bright
I wish I knew what has become of the two of us
We don't seem to see eye to eye
It feels like we move only mechanically
Doesn't look like there's any hope in sight
I wish I knew what has become of the two of us
Nothing seems the same at all
Have we gotten too old to love one another
Has our marriage lost its delight?
Latest Shared StoryThis poem hit me right in my heart because my boyfriend of 30 years (he doesn’t believe in marriage) and I can handle that. What I can’t handle is that the last 4 or 5 years he has become...

12. Enough Hurting Those Who Love You
Wondering why you have so much hate
Before you see it will be too late
Trying to accept who you are
Just seems far too far
All the pain that you have created
Just sits within you with so much hatred
Hoping you will come to see
What everyone else seems to believe
All I want is for you to realize
You are burning bridges with the one who tries
Open your heart and let me in
Before I just give up let it end
It will be years to fix these issues
I just hope by then I can still trust you
How much more do you think I can take
You won't see until it's too late
Latest Shared StoryYes, it made me cry and get on my knees and pray to keep my relationship with my lady that keeps me in check.

13. Love's Journey
Poem About The Past Interfering With Present RelationshipsWhen my eyes are locked with his
My lips are longing for his kiss
I feel a love I've never known
Yet my heart feels so alone
When our bodies are intertwined
And his hand is locked in mine
We're laying there cheek to cheek
Listening to our souls speak
We share our dreams, we share our fears
We're not afraid to shed our tears
We can cry and we can laugh
But we're burdened by our pasts
Jealousy begins to swell
Why can't happiness just prevail
Laughter always turns to anger
Our love is once again in danger
Good times don't ever seem to last
We can blame that on our past
Life has made us who we are
We never seem to get too far,
My soul will never really know
How to ever let you go
This love we have was unexpected
My heart is left unprotected,
I feel our paths were meant to cross
Before you, my soul was lost
Life's journey's leading me to you
I need us both to see this through,
I want a love that others envy
And a heart that isn't empty
I want you to cause my biggest smiles
Ones that can be seen for miles,
How can our story ever start
If we won't open up our hearts
I never want our love to end
You're my lover and my best friend,
I'm willing to work to make this last
Leaving our pasts in the past
Love builds from trust, honesty, and respect
I'll give it to you and it's what I'll expect,
So don't give up on what we have
Let's build it up and make it last
It'll be worth it, I promise you this
Our love is one that we would miss
My heart and soul are lost without you
Let's let love's destiny see us through
You're my soulmate, you were made for me
You're my heart's final destinyLatest Shared StoryI’ve had a boyfriend for almost two years. Apparently, he’s still connected with his ex-girlfriend, but every time I try to confront him he keeps on telling me it was nothing and that there...

14. Once
Just Me Feeling The Neglect?There once was a time,
I would never feel last;
I'm not sure what happened,
But that feeling has became the past.
There once was a time,
Seeing me, brought a smile to your face,
Still I'm not sure what happened,
But that smile, has slowly erased!
There once was a time,
We would communicate so great,
And I still cannot figure out,
And can only hope it isn't too late.
Maybe its me and the way that I act?
Maybe its you from the way that I react?
Maybe its the drugs, starting to take affect?
Maybe its just me, feeling the neglect?
I care more about solving the problem,
And less about "who's fault!"
Because this is literally driving me crazy,
And I am ready for the end result.
With all of that said,
to break up.. I hope never;
Michael, I'm truly in love with you,
And still want us to be forever!Latest Shared StoryI feel the exact same way in my relationship, and I know it hurts deep down, but I know to never show how I actually feel. At one point I talked to my boyfriend about it and he ignored me for...

15. Looking For Eternal Love
I start my journey on having faith
That someday I'll find my day
I know this day is not too late
For love to come my way
Feeling lost in a chamber clear
Seeking truth for love to heal
All the pains I have to bear
What is love if it's not real
Shading my heart with shades of blue
Saving all my tears
Just to look for a love that's true
Taking all the risk
Walking through a lonely path
I know it's all I have
And there's nothing I can do
But to Look for Eternal LoveLatest Shared StoryI saw this girl in college in 1986, and we fell in love instantly. She later reciprocated my love, and I was the happiest person. Unfortunately, after some time, she got married to someone...

16. Soul Mates?
What ever happened to us when did we end?
How long ago did I consider you a friend?
The pain in my heart has turned into fear.
I can't imagine life without you near.
I have known all along I love you too much.
I smother you and long for your touch.
I try to hide how much you mean to me.
Like a caged bird you want to be free.
I should have had other friends and interests too!
My friends I left so I wouldn't be away from you.
I guess I just need that one best friend to confide.
That friend that no matter what would be by my side.
I should have known that you wouldn't be.
You would never be that friend to me.
I shouldn't have allowed it to go on this long.
When I look in your eyes I see I was wrong.
I tried to force you to think like I do.
I wasn't a very good friend to you!Latest Shared StoryI really like your poem, dear. It reminds me of someone I loved the most. I believed in her, but it seemed she never felt like I did. Love is full of surprises, but I never knew that kind of...

Just tell her she is perfect in the dark
her light shines
so the whole world can see her heart
hold her tight
so she knows if she ever did fall

18. Your Love In The Palm Of My Hand
Learning How To Love PoemI hold our love in the palm of my hand as one would a newborn: with awe and delicacy, with softness and protection, with the promise to nurture
I hold our love in the palm of my hand as one would a stone found on a sunny ocean shore, with respect for its strength, with wonder for its resiliency, with deference for its journey to the shore
I hold our love in the palm of my hand as one would a diamond, with humility of its beauty, with amazement at its density, with humbleness of its potential to withstand harshness
I hold our love in the palm of my hand as I would my own, accepting its fragility, acknowledging its power, respecting its potency and most of all, understanding its need to be cherished
I recognize that the love I feel for you is a gift to be appreciated, and in so doing, it may have the chance to grow and flourishLatest Shared StoryMy Love
My love, My love
Come and go away
with me to the secret place of the heart
A place only you can enter and be mine forever
Love is the greatest thing you can give to another

19. What I Have Been Missing
You invaded my private world with your beautiful smile and understanding heart,
And I wondered to myself that you were different right from the very start.
You listened without judgment to what I had about me to say,
And even after I was done with the good, the bad, the ugly you still didn't run away.
We developed a friendship with trust, with no walls to build or guard,
We decided to leave the past behind and step into the good that could be no matter our discomfort or how hard.
I've grown to love you with no hidden agenda or false pretense but with only the real me,
Letting you get to know about me what most people never see.
I'm writing this to you for you to understand,
That spending time with you is so precious I never want to let go your hand.
The time that we spend apart cannot equal when we are together,
I miss you oh too much but when we meet again will be so much better.
Our time apart for me helps me see that you are what I have for many years been missing in my life,
A woman that is beautiful, and kind, and understanding, and loving, you are the woman I wished I would have met and been together long ago, and made you my wife.
But the past is the past, and the future is what we do with each moment now,
Let's make each moment we are together count and overshadow the past,
And love like never before because that will be what will forever last.
I love you.Latest Shared Storythis poem is very similar to my situation....its a beautiful poem, very well written

20. A Lost And Found For Love
Love Is Out ThereThere're many women I have met
And loved throughout my years.
Some provided joy I'd get,
But most provided tears.
There were those in fancy clothes
Who'd show me their affections.
Less fancy dressers then arose
And showed me new directions.
But all would leave, I'm not sure why,
For other loves or interests.
So, with the last tears that I'd dry,
I vowed to end these contests.
No longer would I give my heart
To have it sliced in two!
Too many dreams were torn apart
By women that I knew!
I became an island to myself,
With interests born anew.
My hopes of love placed on a shelf
Where mold and mildew grew.
However,
The best laid plans of mice and men
Do often go astray.
I saw this truth one evening when
She came in sight one day.
She looked at me with lonely eyes,
I'm sure mine looked the same.
It took some time to realize
Attraction was to blame.
The vow I'd made to hide my heart
Began to fade from view.
My new love seemed so far apart
From the other ones I knew.
Today, my love is with me still,
So many years we've shared.
My love and trust have been fulfilled
And formed a love that's not compared.
For those out there, please don't despair;
Don't squander your affections.
Don't hide your need for love to share;
Don't dwell on your rejections.
Love is there, I'm proof of that,
No matter what your setback.
There's someone there who's where you're at,
Who'll show the joy you'll get back.
At night, when we both lie in bed,
She shows what my love's meant.
I stroke the hair upon her head;
She whispers sweet contentment.
What makes a moth fly to a light?
Is it need for what they see?
Or does it seem, their useless flight,
Is just curiosity?
I guess it's both that brought us close,
Our lives of different walks.
But now, to please my love the most,
I'll clean her litter box.Latest Shared StoryBravo! I think there are many who find the humor and honesty in these lines!
