He'll Never Know

"How can I forget him, leave him behind?
Erase the memories from my mind?"

These are exactly the words I keep on asking myself for a month already. These words are still hurting me every single day. I fell in love with the same guy I loved 7 years ago. We waited this long for us to be back together again. But then I don't know what happened, why suddenly his love for me changed and faded out. I took the risk and gave us another chance, but still in the end, he hurt me, he just lied to me. In the end, we had this right love but at the wrong time.

"I want to run, I want to hide from all the pain he caused inside." Yes, I'd like too. But how? If only I could automatically erase all the memories I have of him. He's not only a lover, but he was a friend, a very close friend, a best friend whom I thought and considered as my constant in life. But what happened? Just like a blink of an eye, he suddenly disappeared in my life. I have to let go just like how he have let go of us.

My boyfriend just broke up with me today, and it's so painful because we had been dating for a long time now. How can he break up with me after all I've gone through for him? He made me promise to never leave him, but he still broke my heart. He didn't love me even though he knew that I love him. He didn't even tell me the reason for our breakup. I now know that he isn't worth my love, care, time, and devotion. One day he will know my worth and regret breaking up with me.

Even under all those imperfections, I still found you perfect, even under those scars. I knew you better than anyone else. You were an angel, I'll admit. I started falling in love. I guess I wasn't your angel. Little by little, the devil started haunting me, the devil in you. I couldn't help you. I couldn't get you out of the dark hole you were sinking in. I was crawling out, but a bridge got in the way and you were there in the hole while I tried to find a way to help you. I found you, but I couldn't help, couldn't get close, too scared to get close, scared to make you feel hurt, too scared for everything, too scared to make you want to die, too scared to say I love you. I was scared of falling. I had fallen the day you came as a devil dressed as an angel. I thought you were my angel, but you ended up being my nightmare.

I had my first relationship when I was 16. The guy I dated was 10 years older to me. I was deeply in love with him, but maybe for him I was just a fling. My feelings were genuine, but I guess it was not the same for him. The initial 5 months of our relationship were smooth, but then the coming year brought great challenges. He was confused between me and his ex. After some time he stopped all his contact with me. My heart has been shattered into a million pieces. He never came back and will never in the future, but all those memories still haunt me. It was my mistake that I loved a man older than me. I still can't figure it out.

I am in Junior High, and I love a boy who was in my classroom 3 years ago. We became friends last year, and I confessed that I liked him. After a while, he confessed too. We became best friends since. Then he asked me to be his girlfriend. I, sadly, had to say no since my parents won’t let me have a boyfriend until I turn 17. We are still friends, though. We send each other cute messages like “I love ya” and stuff. But today, my friend came and told me that he told her that he doesn’t like me anymore, that he likes another girl. I feel so bad, and I don't know what to do. I hope he realizes one day what he did.

There is this guy with whom I'm madly in love. We were in school together for 5 years and he was a senior. We were also in the same bus. I had a huge crush on him. One day I straight away went to him to tell him that I love him, but I couldn't do so, so I wrote on a piece of paper and gave him. He said I love you too, but the difference is that I didn't lie to him. Now he is ignoring me like anything. If his friends talk to about me he starts ignoring them too. He thinks I'll just let him go like that. But he doesn't know that I can't let him go. I will love him even if this heart stops beating because my love is strong enough to bear the pain he is giving me.

I'm so in love with this guy, but he can't love me back. I feel the same feeling the poet feels. I can't forget him. l will never stop loving him. I know he loves me, but he's not in love with me, and it hurts. I know in God's perfect time we will be together.

I liked someone once and they liked me back. But in the middle of this year they moved, didn't have the guts to tell me they liked me when I told them, never answered my texts, hung up on me on the phone, and found a new crush at their new school. When all that time after they left I did not give up and STILL liked them. But that's life I guess. And I still miss him. This poem captures exactly how I feel and it’s amazing at the same time!

My life was in a mess ever since my husband left me for another woman. I cried all through the nights. Life became miserable for me without the man I love. I slept all alone in bed without the touch of my husband. I couldn't take it anymore seeing my husband going out of my life.

I fell in love with one guy, the son of my grandma's best friend. I'm 17, and I've loved him for 7 years. My family is a strict family. They don't allow teenagers to have any love relationships unless they finish studies and work. One day I told him that I like him, but he thought I was joking with him. Many of my friends ask me to forget this guy and live happily without him. What should I do? I'm scared to lose him.

I fell head over heels for a boy named Jason. He was two years older than me, and happened to be in the school play with me. He got the same role as me, I loved Jason. After the play ended I stayed in touch with Jason. I have depression. I told him all about it. How I wanted to die. Eventually I told him my feelings. He told me he needed time to process my feelings. I gave him my time. He told me he wanted to be more than friends. He made me feel like a queen, like I was loved. He asked me to be his girlfriend after I had a big wave of depression. Two days later, he told me he has never loved me, that he had only asked me to be his girlfriend cause he pitied me. I'm crushed and can't pick myself off the ground. I often think about the saying " how can I love if I'm afraid to fall" that's where I am in my life. I loved, and when I fell, he let me fall. He didn't reach out to catch me. I will never trust again because of him. Does anyone have any advice? I need help badly and would appreciate it.

It's been 6 years since the love of my life shattered my world but, still I can't forget this beautiful nightmare.
He was a cure for everything and now he is like a disease which I should try to get away from. I have a wonderful family and a husband but I still feel lost in this world I wish for too many things I guess which can never come true.

Well my story is that I fell in love with a good friend I've known him for years I'm best friends with his sister from elementary school an now were out of high school and still best friends so from all those years I guess I fell for him eventually. I just don't understand why they think we shouldn't be together we had talked for close to a year and when we wanted to let everyone know they all thought it was wrong and what hit me hard was my best friend thought the same... in the end he hurt me as well cause he told me he didn't care what they thought but in the end he said goodbye because of what they thought. I'm so angry I want to scream, I want to cry!.... ...I'm just soooo angry and sad ...... ..... he broke me.... . They broke me.

I recently broke up with my lover. I still love him so much. A guy is proposing me and he loves me so much. He loved me from two years before but the problem is I can not forget my ex-boyfriend.

I know how you feel.... I loved a guy for four years and I really cared about him. One night me and him kissed and it was my first kiss. He then told me he loved me and swore to me he would love me forever and then I get back to school. Everything changed and now he acts like he doesn't know me and ignores me and I know I shouldn't care because I have a great guy but I can't get over him and it hurts like hell :(

So, it would've been 5 months. I only felt like this once before. With my 1st boyfriend. It feels like every bone in my body is broken. He changed. He wasn't the guy that swept me off my feet and treated me like a princess. He treated me like I was an option and he didn't need me. He would ditch me to see his friends, he would talk to girls and try to lie about it. He made me feel like nothing yet I still yearning to be his everything. I'm still madly and totally in love with the guy you were Marcelino. I think that's why it's so hard to let what we had go.

I know how you feel. I've know my ex boyfriend for about three years and we've been dating for about a year and a half. He promised me all these things that we would have a life together and he'll never break up with me or hurt me. Next thing I knew my cousin dies and then like two days after he dies my boyfriend tells me he isn't in love with me no more. It's like everything just blew up in my face :,( when he broke up with me it hurt soooo much it felt like I was dying. I felt like I wanted to die. It was too much for me to take. It really sux like BIG TIME

I think I'm crazy because I let the same guy in three times and all three he hurt me more than the last. I guess I was just in denial, everytime I thought he had changed and now he's back in my life. I just don't know why I cant let him go. I know this time is no different from the last but still I can't let him go.

• by Tea Canaleta
• 11 years ago

Yeah, it really hurt so much. It is like what I feel for a man for years and he never realizes what I feel for him. I've been loving him since grade 9 until now. It makes my heart turn into pieces everytime I see him and tell myself, "you need to let him go" because the longer you hang in the harder you let go. This poem relate me so much.

Its always the same story. Mine is different. He never said anything rude to me ever. It was mutual. But in the end it was a rejection and disappearance. :( Though he never hurt me but we are no more friends. He just didn't like me. Plus it was impossible. Loved your poem. Take care . Hope you are doing better.

This poem is exactly what I'm dealing with. The boy I have liked for 3 years, and we were friends, told me I was a whore with no dad, because my dad had died about a year ago, and then his big apology was. hey you know that thing I said, yeah I'm sorry about that, I was just mad. I want to hate him and I know I should hate him but I can't.

I love someone truly. He is not with me for 2 months as his family does not accept me. The reason is I don't fall in the same cast. He left me saying he cannot be with me. We work in the same office so I can see him everyday. I go to wash room very often to cry secretly. It's very difficult for me to forget him. Tried my best to move on. The pain in my heart it seems incurable. I am lost. Not able to find old me :'(

I have been with the same woman for 13 years. We have 3 beautiful kids together. We've had our problems like anyone else. I thought things we're fine. Talking about finally getting married on top of that. But a recent discovery on her cellphone blew that plan right out of the water. I quit my job 7 years ago so she would have the opportunity to move up in her company. And I would stay home with the kids. And come to find out she's seeing someone at her work. I have to leave. But with my decisions, I have no money, no job and a broken heart. I thought I was being a good man staying home and never going out. In the end it didn't matter.

This might sound gay to some guys because I'm a guy but have the same problem I fell in love and she never found out how much I loved her. I loved her so much what I wouldn't give to see her smile with me. What I wouldn't give for her to love me once more. I did everything I could for her to forgive me but it was never enough. I want to give up trying but I can't say good bye....

Me and this guy met and fell head over heals for each other. After living together for a whole year we ended up separating because we lost our place. I went to live with my mom and he did the same, weekends were our time to spent with each other. After a couple months of us separated I started getting phones call from the mother of his child saying that he was with her and that he has been lying to me about our relationship. She even sent me a pregnancy test claiming to be pregnant by him. He denies it of course and says that she's jealous and don't want to see us happy. I'm so confuse and I'm hurting so bad. I feel as if a knife is in my chest. I don't want to be with him and I also don't want to let him go. I have never experienced so much pain in my life, I can't eat or sleep.

It all so happened within 3 months I so very much fell in love with a person. I think nobody else can also love him so much as I do. However we can never be together, one fine day he calls me and says we will be a good friends after giving me hopes for being together throughout my life. I don't think I'll be out of this pain. Still trying hard.

• by Rosa, Texas

This poem reminds me what I went through. It even hurts to talk about what happened. I really loved this guy, I really thought this was the one that I been waiting for. He made me happy...special. He will tell me he loved me everyday and call me everyday. I was his princess. He said... Then he told me that he wanted to be with me and that he wanted to get married with me. But then one day out of a blue. He disappears I never talked to him he never. Never called me. Never heard his voice till this day. Never showed up. I can't stop thinking about him I always have my hopes up when my phone rings... But never nothing...

I love this guy a lot. He knows it but he doesn't want it. I still love him in spite of getting hurt so many times. I just hope one day he will understand my love and what I was trying to say because I know what pain I go through each and every day. It is so bad that someone doesn't want your love when you want to give. Hope one day he will understand my pain.

Heart break is something I never knew would crush my hopes, dreams and feeling so lost and alone. My ex left me after 30 years of marriage. Was I blind? He found a new love and discarded me with a snap of his finger. He was my world .But now I face the new year not knowing if I will ever trust or believe in another. I will love him always for he was my first love. Maybe one day he will realize what a terrible mistake he made.

I lost the man I loved last Sept. 8, 2011 in a very tragic incident. Because he was so overwhelmed with work, he got depressed and hung himself. A very devastating incident in my life that moving on is not that easy for me. I could not let go, no matter how I try.

I know exactly how you feel. I dated my best friend and we broke up and for the past two years I've been in love with him. The thing is he knows it and he sometimes leads me on.

I had a huge fight with my boyfriend, I told him that it will not work if he keeps on hurting me like this, but he did not even bother to console me, which I was expecting from hi.

I was with this guy for 5 years and he just one day stop calling me for a week and when he finally called me back told me he didn't want to be with any one and needed some time to him self. Two weeks later he was with some one else. The girl he with is only 21 and he's 33. He even moved her in to his place. I still love him so much. I cry and think about him all the time. I really can't get him out of my head. Don't know what to do, this is really killing me.

I am feeling your pain right now. My boyfriend and I were so much in love during our 6 months relationship that we committed to getting married as soon as we could. The 6-hours telephone calls turned into 1 hour boring calls. I have not heard from him in 4 days and he will not return my calls nor my messages. I have been faithful to him, and kept myself in clean and in top shape, not wanting to give him any reason be turned off. He knows I am hurting but he has kept silent until now. My throat is aching and I can't eat. I know I must but can't.

Me and my boyfriend were living together for 2 years and last week he left me and moved out. He told me he didn't love me anymore. I would of rather he cheated and groveled, than hurt my heart this way, something I can't control and can't get back, it hurts :( xx

About 2 weeks ago I suffered the most awful heartbreak of my life (so far), I thought that I was in love with a boy, but he just wasn't ready for a relationship, so waited........and waited........and waited some more. I was just about ready to give up on him, when he told me that he loved me a lot and he wanted to be with me and no one else, but he still kept me waiting, then one day I found out he had been going out with another girl for about 3 weeks already, and during those 3 weeks he told me he loved me numerous times, I cried and cried. my friends tell me to forget about the loser, but how can I forget someone who gave me so much to remember?<3

This poem explains everything I have been feeling, this speaks for me. I have loved a man too much, gave everything for this man without even complaining, I have been into pains and sacrifices. I've tried to let go, but it's too hard, it's really hard when the problem involves a third party, because even though I know that he has someone else, I still love him. I can ease the pain and bare my sacrifices, but I'm still human, those pain really hurts and my sacrifices kills me..so even if I have loved him too much.. I'm still willing to let him go..he knows how much I loved him but he will never know how much he hurts me..

I met a guy, who was a few years older than me, and we instantly clicked. I know it was different with him than it had been with all other guys before. we started to talk and things got serious, he had never been in a relationship before so we took things very slow so he would be comfortable. When he finally asked me to be his girlfriend, it was amazing. I felt like this was the guy of my dreams. All of a sudden, a month later, he breaks up with me. out of no where. when that morning, he had been fine. We didn't say that we loved each other, but I thought we had a strong enough connection that we were ok. The breakup affected me immensely, and he acted like he didn't even care. I tried talking to him afterwards some, and I'd burst into tears everytime. He will never know how much he hurt me...

I've been crushing really deeply on a guy for about 3 months now and I had the perfect plan but my friend kept on messing it up for me, and then he told the guy I liked him just today. He was soooo nice about it and he understood somehow, but I just wish I could have gone back to the beginning of the year where I felt happy everytime I was around him, not worried that my friend will tell him or know that he knows it's just realllllly awkward and like I said I care about this guy and if I'm not the one that makes him happy then I'm glad he doesn't waste his time on me, but I still want to be friends with him, uhhhgg I wish my friend would have just kept his mouth shut! I'm just so confused on what to think considering he's the only thing I could think about for 3 months T.T

Everything about this poem just describes what I'm feeling inside. I love this boy and I give him everything that I can. But I guess it's not good enough. I been messing with him for a long time and I can never get over him. My friends tell me to stop messing with him because he treats me like sh-t. But I love him and I can't help. If I loose him , it feels like I'm loosing my life. He tells me he don't love me and he says means things to me sometimes but it never changes my love I have for him. Idk what to do. But I'm sure faith would come and help me out.

I feel the same way you are feeling. I can't dwell in my past but when people wrong us, we stay hurt until it lifts or the person who we love apologizes. We never see their cold behavior coming. I love my ex every day I am alive, but I love myself enough to know he doesn't deserve me, not that we are "different"

I just had my boyfriend break up with me yesterday and I know how you feel when a guy breaks your heart. We were dating for 5 months, and all of a sudden he just breaks up with me for no reason and that really hurt me inside. It is like I just don't want to live anymore because we had so much fun together and he promised me that he would never break up with me or hurt me in general.
