Wow…well, i stumbled upon your website while i was googling for a good book to read. And next thing i know, i spent over 40 minutes reading your articles! Holy crap, you have some pretty insights about life in general, i must say. But this post, in particular, blew me away. Maybe it got something to do with Valentine’s Day coming up, but it’s so sweet, and so true in a way that made me smile. I like to write too, well, mostly short stories (my poetic side rarely comes out), and i think it’s very true about what you said. Admittedly, it is way, way, way harder to write about someone you actually care about for a long time than say, an inspired character that popped up when you least expected him to. And i’m just glad someone shares the same view as me. Great post!
i’ve only been with the girl i’m with for a year, but i haven’t written her anything yet, either, and have been wondering why- as i usually do so within a week of our first of our encounter…
There is nothing better in life than feeling true, blissful, passionate love. Thank you for giving others a window into a life full of live. May Angel and you always cherish what you have between you.
What a great background and explanation of your “unwritten love poem”. Congrats on being together for 9 years. I think you’ve said everything you’ve needed to say about Angel and about your love for her here. Your minimalism was magic.
@All: Wow! Thanks for the kind remarks everyone. I do enjoy reading your feedback. I wasn’t quite sure how this article would be received. I’m really glad you enjoyed it. 😉
Hi Marc, I’ve been criticized before about not being able to verbally articulate my feelings for someone, and this explains it perfectly!!
Thanks for sharing…
Wow! I dont have alot to say as I’m still pretty stunned by this. This is really one great peice of work. I was happy to sit here and read it straight through.
Alluring post! So where is the first poem to Brianna? I thought you were leading into sharing the actual poem found years later… I got a real kick out of :
“Stupid me… When I read the poem I actually believed you were being sincere! I thought I was special,” Sara screamed!
“I was… and you are,” I mumbled as she walked away.
This was an amazing story, and it brought forth a thought I’ve been pondering on for a long time. Love is so much more than the word and the meaning, it’s unworldly so much so that we can’t capture it in words, sound or image.
This perfectly describes that feeling I had about my last GF, about why I couldn’t ever write any poetry about her (not that I’m all that poetic in the first place), and why anytime I tried to put into words how I felt about her, my words failed me . . .
seriously though, this is beautiful and makes perfect sense. it really makes me question.. because my ex is/was a poet and wrote me poems all the time.. just as he did to the exes before me etc. too bad for him, that he gets too hung up on the muse, and WANTS that fake sort of love, just so he can write again..
You are truly gifted and I enjoyed reading that. It’s true, no love could ever be truly put into words what you feel for whoever you are with. I am glad that happiness has found you and that love has as well. I myself, love to write and I think words are the best gift ever given to man.

This is only the 2nd post I have read on this blog… I don’t know who you are and where you come from and what else you have written about, but I’m captivated.. and maybe its too early for me to judge but i think that you’re a brilliant story-teller and this particular story had me hooked from the title itself… In fact ironically, I was expecting there to be a “every second line rhyming” poem somewhere!
As someone who has had a million crushes, and sometimes I too dedicate poems to them, I can only hope that someday I feel so strongly about someone as you do for Angel… Cheers!
Lovely…my girlfriend recently broke up with me…because I didn’t communicate enough for her..I wasn’t 100% in..according to her. I never wrote her anything b/c I thought my actions spoke for me..I think I lost her for good, but I want to write her something…maybe it’s more for me..for my personal closure..
Its really awesome to read… I literally tried every thing to write for my true love but now I understood the reason behind it … Thanks Dear, it is really a wonderful post which made me to comment First time in life on any blog post 🙂
Your website is amazing. I found it googling, “Life Lessions.” I’m seventeen, teenagers are a little stupid, but sometimes I wonder about so many things in life. This article is very inspirational. Beautiful. Thank you.
I googled “life’s questions” and happened on your website…and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading it. My daughter is a senior in college and I have sent her the link to your website. I know she will find the site useful and encouraging as I have. Thank you. Keep up the great work!
I’ve just bookmarked your site. Truly wonderful. I’ve never taken this perspective… I’ve always written about my failures. One day I’ll end all my failures and write about the success of my loves.
Thank you so much, this is beautiful. Last night I found an unfinished poem that I had started writing to my baby niece when she was born. The poem is really meant for my sister. My niece is now one, I tried to work on it again and I felt inspired but the words were not working out so I put it back it the drawer. Maybe i’ll try again next year.
this one really touched me. which is beyond words to describe as i am avoiding all couple-love related feelings presently. i avoid to care and to love. though i leave a few crushes here and there but they dont stick with me. but your article was really meaningful. as your love cannot be described with words. as it is more than words. i stumbled upon your website when i typed in ” statement for life ” on google. i ended up reading your posts one after another when i got to this and i had to drop a comment.
WOW! WOW! WOW! This is the most romantic thing I have ever read! Unbelievable! I feel so blessed to have stumbled upon your writings! You are amazing! 🙂
“I fell asleep last night thinking about my predicament. Have I lost my touch? Has someone cast an evil spell on me? Or is there a more profound, philosophical explanation?” The moment i read this part, i know i am not facing the same problem all by myself. I had always loved the same woman as strong as those 11 years that has gone by. I am facing writers block, drunken, drugs and depression. I spent an hour reading this and crying. Though i cannot grasp the past, because tomorrow i know there is a reason of my being created. I know she loved me too. I love you Natasha.

The mere stating “words alone could never do her any justice” has done her justice. 😉
russell says
I’m imagining you writing a poem about how writing a poem would not do your love justice.

beautiful, dude. beautiful.
i’ve only been with the girl i’m with for a year, but i haven’t written her anything yet, either, and have been wondering why- as i usually do so within a week of our first of our encounter…
love it.

It’s a rare event, but sometimes dreams can really shed light on the mysteries that plague us during the day. The human mind is an amazing thing.
Keep up the good work,

You had my attention all the way through this superbly written story. Thank you. It made my day!
Alex Blackwell says
Sometimes real love can not be put into words – it just has to be experienced for the reality it is. Great stuff here.
Gia says
A guy once wrote me a love poem… “If you were a car, you’d be a Jaguar.”
That’s all I remember. He didn’t last long. 😉

All I could say is wow . . .
This perfectly describes that feeling I had about my last GF, about why I couldn’t ever write any poetry about her (not that I’m all that poetic in the first place), and why anytime I tried to put into words how I felt about her, my words failed me . . .
floreta says
but… this isn’t a poem.
where’s the poem!?

seriously though, this is beautiful and makes perfect sense. it really makes me question.. because my ex is/was a poet and wrote me poems all the time.. just as he did to the exes before me etc. too bad for him, that he gets too hung up on the muse, and WANTS that fake sort of love, just so he can write again..
