Hi Betty,

I'd like to know where you got this poem from.
I actually wrote this when I was a teen (dating my kids father).
The words are slightly changed up a bit and so is the title.
The real title is 'Love Hurts' by Maryjane Diaz.
In 1987, it was recognized in several poetry contest.
It's good to know others are appreicating it
Yet, if you don't mind, I'd like the original title & words to be used.

Love Hurts
I knew from the beginning,
you were just a flirt.
Still I fell in love with you,
knowing it would hurt.

I thought that I could tie you down
& make you love just one.
but how could I do something,
No one else had ever done.

When you ask for me again,
You'll find I won't be there.
I want a love to call my own,
Not one I have too share.

I know you never loved me,
and I'm trying not to cry.
becuase I might find strength
To kiss your lips goodbye.

So I'll hide my broken heart,
behind a laughing face.
And though you think I never cared
No one can take your place..

Maryjane Diaz

P.S. I have other poems even some published.
so if like this one - I'll be happy to share
best regards,

I have a copy of this poem that was written in 1976 while I was attending Hackensack High School. I'm sure that it is even older that than 1976. Original author is unknown.

This poem was my favorite poem in 1972 when I was 12 years old and in love with this blonde boy with sky blue eyes down my street. I had a crush on him through the end of high school but I never told him... I knew this poem by heart and would say it when I was sad about Tim...

Thank you for the memories I am now 51 years old
