HOW MUCH...?
THE OTHER DAY YOU ASKED HOW MUCH I LOVED YOU,
AND IN A HEARTBEAT I RESPONDED BACK TO YOU,
I LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY
OR OCEANS CAN SING, MORE THAN MONEY CAN BUY,
MORE THAN WHAT FAME CAN BRING,
OR HOUSES CAN SHELTER, AND MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF.
YET AGAIN YOU ASK, HOW MUCH?
LISTEN ONCE AGAIN,
I'D GIVE YOU ANYTHING YOUR HEART DESIRES,
EVEN THE WORLD, IF IT WAS IN MY POWER.
I'D DO ANYTHING YOU ASKED,
I'D GO TO HELL AND BACK.
I'VE GIVEN YOU MY SOUL, HEART, AND BODY,
BUT STILL YOU ASK, HOW MUCH?
I HAVE NOTHING LEFT, YET I CONTINUE TO GIVE.
MY BODY TIRED, MY HEART IN TWO,
MY MIND CLEAR, MY SOUL CONFUSED
FROM SO MUCH LOVING YOU.
I HOPE YOU SEE HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU
BEFORE I DISAPPEAR.

Before I give you an answer to your question, I would like to let you know how I felt when I read this wonderful poem of yours...
I felt my heart tighten and I felt a lump at the back of my throat....About a tear or two fell down on my cheeks...This poem reminds me so much of me! Seriously, its exactly how I feel for someone else...its as though we can't give no more, that person keeps asking for more and more...I guess we all need a little courage to get by: This Prayer to GOD always helps me relax:
*Lord please give me the Strenght to accept the things I cannot change
The Courage for the things that I can
And the Knowledge to keep going in life*
(*I guess I kind of "composed" it in my own words..but its mine*)
NOW as for your answer...What if in the past she had to deal with a guy who said SIMILAR things...(like you say here)...and then in the end cheated on her, left her, or hurt her very deep? what if that is still "hurting" in her?...
You know things like that, takes the pride, the confidence, and the trust that, we as women, had once built for ourselves, and then completely destroy it in our faces!
I don't know about you, but if I were you, I will say more "Realistical" things...don't get me wrong..your words are beauty to everyone's ears, they are wisdom and comfort, as well. BUT times like these, requires struggle, courage, faith, and MOST of all H-O-P-E....never let loose of that, partner, never!
Keep looking up, keep your feet on the ground, be firm about your love, and DONT give up just yet on her... She NEEDS you more than anything right now....so I guess another line for your poem will be this: I LOVE YOU SO MUCH...LIKE IT TAKES TO WAIT FOR INFINITY...BUT I'LL DO ANYTHING TO GAIN YOUR TRUST BACK, BABY: and with this my dear friend she will know with all her soul, that she is ready to love you and trust you and be with you for the "rest" of her life. PATIENCE is a great virtue, my friend...ENDURANCE is a great TEST in the name of love....HOPE is a great "medicine" for the heart!...*wink*...may the force of GOD be with you and this LUCKY, wonderful lady of yours...sincerely, your friend "Ferrari Girl" *wink*///lol

Has she been hurt before? Does she have reasons why it's hard for her to trust easily? I know I do. I've been hurt badly enough to where trust isn't something I can give anymore. It sounds as if you do really love her....but those are just words. I've heard them ALL before. Actions speak louder. It's the little things in life that are appreciated and cherished the most. Don't be discouraged if haven't earned her trust yet. If you're words are as sincere as they sound, then she will come around soon. Don't give up! Don't get frustrated! Maybe she has esteem issues...or maybe she loves you so much that she's afraid of losing you....or she's afraid she isn't good enough. Women are the most emotional creatures on earth! I'm sorry, that's just the facts of nature. Talk with her about your concerns. Be honest with her. Honesty is the fastest road to trust! I promise!

She might have some self-esteem problems, or her past relationships didn't work out and she has been hurt a lot. From my experience, I think you should be patient with her and in time she will finally give in, but sooner or later you will run out of love and when she finally trusts you, you will have no more love to give to her...

Your poem is fantastic. So well put.
What I see in this poem is a thoroughly good man that loves more than he can ever express. And he expresses too much.
This is a man who has turned over himself to his love. The tragedy of this is most people can't truly appreciate this kind of love. And for most people impossible to return. Perhaps it is so deep that it doesn't seem real. A women does not want her man to die for her but to simply be the kind of man she can respect.
He has given himself so much to the idea of love that he has turned himself over to it and is no longer himself but has turned into his belief. He disappears because he no longer is himself but lives in his fantasy.

some women are just users, especially since they know how much the men love them. They know he will do anything for her, so she just uses and abuses him. They know that the man will always take their bs so they don;t care if he leave cuz they know if they call he will come back running. My ex is like that. He now wants to get back with his ex-wife who was controlling and abusing him, and on top of all of that, cheating on him. I never do that, but a good woman like me is not for him, he likes to be abused apparently.

That is a manipulation tactic trying to get you to do what she wants. Chances are that the woman that you are talking to has been hurt by another. the best thing that you can do is have a talk with her and tell her i am not that person and this is a new relationship. If she can not deal then your best bet is to cut your losses.

She sounds like I was years ago.When I was married he had to prove his love over & over. I was very immature & selfish. But I think if he had left me for 1 or 2 days I might have shaped up

Probably she has some previous experiences regarding guys cheating on her.
You be sweet to her and assure her that you will never do anything like that.
If your effort doesn't work then you might have to move on ~

she probably has some self-esteem problems, or she's been really hurt in the past. hang in there if you love her as much as you say. with time she'll start to realize that what you say is for real. (i'm assuming you told her what you posted)
