Im Learing Poem by Lechelle Jones (01.24.91,D.C)

im learning i cant love you
slowly day by day
these feelings came to me
the day you walked away
and i tried to stay by your side
but the pain is hard to stand by
and the love youve been giving to me
is a love i no longer need
because the love that i am receiving
is a love that causes great pain
and as much as i know i love you
thats the reason i have yet to walk away
but a healthy love should never hurt or feel the type of pain that i feel
it seems we seem to never be growing
and to me a growing love is more real
