Ok... me and this guy went out, but he broke up with me because he said he didn't like me as much as I liked him. He just liked me as a friend, and we've been friends ever since. Today though, he wrote me this poem. What do you think it means. I need as many opinions as I can get. Good or bad, thanks!!!
Time and time again I think about what could have been and would have been.
The punishment I don't deserve, the pain thats inside, the hate brewing over.
WHAT DOES HE MEAN!!??!?!?!

I think it means he is a very troubled young man and is seeking help from the wrong person, you.
He sounds like he is in pain about something uunresolved in his past, it may have been why he couldn't really have a relationship with you to begin with and hates it but knows until he can get rid of the "baggage" ( hurt and pain from what ever is causing the hurt, pain and hate he knows he is carrying) he can't have a healthy relationship with you or some one as fine as he see's you to be.
I think the poem is sort of a convoluted compliment but he still knows he is not ready to get on with his life yet.

If it is about the relationship, hello!, he broke up with you not the other way around, so if he is feeling hurt it is his own fault and if he can't tell you how he feels better than writing an obscure poem then he isn't worth dating, it doesn't make him some misunderstood poet just yearning for a common soul to understand blah blah blah, it makes him a retard for not having the guts to actually say something to you if he indeed likes you now more than friends, I think the poem can be translated as "Hey I'm a big jerk, I broke up with you but now I wish I hadn't (for whatever reason, maybe he just wants a booty call), I hate myself because now I can't ask you out because I turned you down the first time and now I just know you'll tell me no" Maybe you should tell him you just want to keep the relationship as friends because the poem is kinda weird anyways, good luck

well, when i just look at the first line, it makes me think that maybe he's regretting missing out on what could have been a great relationship...but, when i look at the second line, it follows that theme until you get to the "hate brewing over" part. i have to admit i'm not completely sure about that part. the only think i can think of is that he's mad at himself for letting someone so great go...if that is the case then he's hinting that he may want to try something else again with you. if you still feel like you want to be with him, then i would start leaving small hints as well, maybe spend more time with him either alone or with friends and see what happens.

The most annoying thing about guys is that you just never really know what they are thinking or feeling without them telling you. So many boys represent different feelings and emotions in different ways, i can see how you would be confused. The best advice i can give you is to try and find out if he likes you, you could have a friend ask (not the best idea cause he might lie) , you could ask ( not my personal fave, but i'm shy), or you can do what my friend did, she asked one of our guy friends she liked for a long time how he felt about her using an anonomous message from http://hikkup.com and he said he liked her as more than a friend but didnt know how she felt about him and that made him nervous to say anything, after she knew he liked her it was a lot easier to talk to him about it. Good Luck and if you need anything dont hesitate to contact me on here.

You assume he even knows what he means. Some guys are so afraid to encourage women because they assume women will over react. For instance if he tells a woman he likes her she will start picking out china patterns.
Women and men speak different languages, understand things differently and react in different ways. That is why we find each other so frustrating yet fascinating.
Example of woman-speak: I like him but I don't like-him, like him. I only, you know, like him.
Example of man-speak: She's OK, I guess. (means I really like her).

He wants to get laid ... and needs you to feel that he is regreating the break up.....
Or .....
He has learned more about you over time and now knows you are the person he was looking for all the time.
This is one call we can't make from the cheep seats ... your on the field and must trust your feelings.
Good Luck

ask him...........he's the only one who can tell you exactly what he means and then the guessing is over... how would anyone else know unless he told them what he was writing and why.... go to him, he deserves that much if you guys are the friends you say you are.... be there for him.... as a friend.... if more is meant to be from this, it'll happen..... trust him.....good luck

Maybe.....he is saying that things could have been better had the circumstances been different. He doesn't know if breaking up was good or bad. He doesn't know if the relationship was good or bad. He is a good writer.

Sounds like he likes you, but there is something there permitting him from going forward. Or, he just wants to keep you on a string. If thats what hes doing... get some scissors.

It could be a good thing. Maybe he though that he could not give you what you deserved. the pain will go away in time. believe me i know.
