A poem I wrote for My girlfreind, let me know what you think

[Think About It...]

The Lost and The Weak
I was once lost and weak, as were you.
 I saw your smile as bright has the sun up above us in the sky and your eyes sparkle like the stars of the night. Glowing, lightening and becoming brighter has the night sky becomes darker. You light my path of darkness, so no longer I am scared of the shadows and the dark corners.
Together we became friends; we helped each other when we were feeling low. Then came that first magical moment we kissed. No longer was the path darker at night.
After that we became a couple has one we came stronger on our own and together. We gave each other the strength, confidence and stability in the both of us.
Love was next; I’ll never forget the first time you told me. I was laid in bed and looking out the window into the night sky when you sent me a message saying I am in love with you.
No longer is the dark ruling my fear with you by my side showing me the way and lightening the path of darkness.
The best of friends was waiting for us next; our love for each other was blossoming. The need, the wanting and the desire became stronger as the days pasted us by.
Soul mates was the next step; together forever. Two pea’s in a pod. Never wanting to apart, always wanting and needing to spend every waking minute with each other. Even when we were apart we were always in our minds and our hearts. Never alone to be afraid of the darkness that fell.
Then suddenly our world collapsed and then again I was afraid of the dark. You were no longer by my side to light the way and give me the strength to stand up for myself.   
We were no longer soul mates, best friends nor were we a proper couple, just two people who once fell in love. We were just two people, one of us grew up and the other stayed in the past. Our love grew apart.
Love has been given a second chance; a chance to mature, become stronger, to the light the path as the sun brightens the day and to twinkle like the stars of the night sky once again.
I love you forever and always.

Good poem, Rich. Thanks.

I notice a lot of us still love them "always." I feel the same way. I don't know your girl, so this isn't a comment on her, but in the case of mine, I don't think she cared at all whether she was loved. It's sad. I was suicidal over her, and yet it just occurred to me that even if I had killed myself and left her a note, it probably wouldn't have bothered her at all.

You might be right. People nowadays don't care I find. You can be the nicest person loving and caring always doing the right stuff yet people ain't that bothered. What I find here were I live women want bad boys and/or 1 night stands. Don;t get me wrong there are lots of women out there who wants somebody to look after them and you just haven't found her yet. I was lucky, I found that women for me. We haven't been getting on lately and we are in a tight problem at the moment. I once felt the same about suicide and after I felt stupid because the effect it would have on my family. That's why I guess I joined this web site, I can try and understand what my girlfriend goes through. Keep your chin up, keep pushing forward and show your ex what she's missing out on. Don't let her see you still hung up on her has that give's her power over you to pick you up and drop you whenever she wants.
