I've come back to this for years now and sometimes hear Mary's voice in my head when I think "but I love you." Forever relevant, even when I don't have anyone specific in mind. If only they knew what I'd do for them.
I have never watched poetry in any way and scoffed at it when someone suggested this one. I am converted! This one made me cry and I swear she is talking to me.
The length of this video is my birthday, funnily enough. I’d like to think I was meant to see it. I’ve seen it for years, over and over, basking in the wonderful poetry and performance that this video holds. I watch this any time I find myself longing for a love that isn’t meant to be mine. It doesn’t soothe my aching heart, but it does remind me that one day, there will be a love meant for me that will finally be within my reach.
This is just so powerful and I regularly come back to listen to it because once again, I am the queen of unrequited love. There's a pain to it but it's also very beautiful at the same time. Thanks, Mary - I love you too. ❤
Thank you for this. Seriously. You probably have no idea how many lost souls you've touched with this video. And you probably have no idea how many of us desperately needed something like this
It’s been 8 years since I said goodbye to my true love and my heart is still broken. I’ve been through so much over the years and I would give anything in the world just to be in her arms again. My spirit is so crushed and I’m just over this place
this is literally my favorite poem i have ever experienced. and i do not say that lightly. i loved it when i was in a relationship. and i reconnected with it when i had a bad break up. and it is beautiful and healing. thank you.
I came across this site and found this poem and you. Thank you for sharing the beauty and power of "I love you." I shall save this reading. Your words and reading are simply beautiful. Thank you.
this was lovely.. and it touched something in me so real that it made me cry tears of longing, anger, gratitude, and happiness.... thank you for posting.
This means so much to me right now. Thank you so much for writing, performing and posting this poem. When I saw you were crying with me I bawled, and I love you to.
I thought I was the only one like this. And the fact that there is a poem about this with so many views and admiration, it makes me feel like I'm not alone.
It's been almost a year ago since i last posted a comment on this video. Now, a year later do i finally understand. I am not alone. I think before it just chipped the ice burg for me. Now I understand. If anything now this poem gives me hope. Thank you. Thank you for writing this poem.
