About the Poem

This poem is actually a song that I wrote. I'll be leaving my best friend behind when I go off to college, and it's going to be the hardest thing I've ever done. I hate to leave him, and this song shows the love and confusion that I feel, along with the results of unspoken heartaches left unsaid for too long a time. Love Poems

Compared To You
by Daisy
When you stood in the doorway
engulfed in summer shadow
and waved goodbye to me,
I made a silent promise to the setting sun
and hoped you would hear me.

I'll never love another like I love you, Darlin'
I never make a promise I don't intend to keep.
It doesn't really matter if you don't feel like that;
Compared to you, they're only second best to me.

They followed me around, offerin' me kisses,
gold, and diamond rings.
But to each of them I said,
"Hey, Honey, I'm sorry, but I know my heart's desire. "

I'll never love another like I love you, Darlin'
I never make a promise I don't intend to keep.
It doesn't really matter if you don't feel like that;
Compared to you, they're only second best to me.

The years passed by, college came and went
and now, I'm comin' home.
I dialed your number, said a quick hello,
then sang into the phone:

I'll never love another like I love you, Darlin'
I never make a promise I don't intend to keep.
It doesn't really matter if you don't feel like that;
Compared to you, they're only second best to me.

Silence on the line, then I heard you smile,
and take a long deep breath.
You said, "Baby, I know exactly what you're thinking,
but why'd you wait all this while? "

Because I'll never love another like I love you, Baby
I never make a promise I don't intend to keep.
I'll never love another like I love you, Baby.
Compared to you, they're only second best to me.

Jenna
WOW. Lately I have been thinking A LOT about my relationship with my boyfriend who is a senior (I am a junior) and how it is going to be in a year after he graduates. I love him so much and I know that he is the one, but I am scared about what is going to happen for that year we are separated. FSU is the school of choice for the both of us. So we might be in college together. I know it could work and I hope it is like your song. I love him so much but I dont know his outlook on the situation. I know he wants to be with me he says "I dont want to loose you" but he falls in love easy and I am scared. *sigh* I wish I could hear is as a song. I would sing it. *sigh*
