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.
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
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.
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 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. ❤
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.
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.
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.
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 poem must of been dedicated to me too. Learned the hard way that although someone may love you, you can also lose them as fast as you fell in love with them.
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.
this poem is so incredibly dear to my heart you have no idea how grateful I am to have a recording of it. it's naive to say that poetry can change somebody's life so I won't - but for as much as this poem has sent your love to thousands, please know that we're sending it right back to you, mary. you're quite amazing.
"But have I mentioned that I love you for being honest? Have I mentioned that I love you for NOT lying? So many people lying all the time, and I hate them." Every line so full, like a mouth full at a banquet of life...full...of pain and hope. I love you.
8 years and still keep coming back to this
I will never stop coming back to this
Isabel Sousa same 💜
I've literally been coming back to this poem repeatedly for 9 years and it still heals my soul
14 years now. Needed it today.
@@ssnz5630 loool man. We on the same boat xo
you saved my life 6 years ago.
This poem has stuck with my for the past decade I heard it as a teen and it hit me to my core. Wish everyone in the world could hear it.
Still my favorite poem on UA-cam. Still brings tears to my face. I love you, Mary Fons!
Has been and always will be my favourite poem ever.
This video has helped me through so many restless nights trying to cope with the loss of the love of my life.
it’s been fifteen years and i still think about this performance at least once a month
Years later... And I still love this poem the same way I did when I first heard it
Every few years I remember to listen to this to help ground me no matter where I am in my romantic life. It soothes me.
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.
This made me cry 12 years ago and apparently still does.
fuck... just amazing. i've been watching this over and over for months
Been a while since I heard this poem. It’s 2023. I’m still here 👌 I’m glad it’s still up.
I always listen to this, it's what gets me through the day. Thank you.
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.

There is something about this poem that makes me feel so cozy inside

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
I've listened to this about 6 times in the past 3 days... probably more. near tears on each pass.
thank you. :)
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. ❤
I still keep coming back to this after seeing it for the first time 8 yrs ago

This poem/reading is not only profound and beautiful, it's medicine. I will prescribe it to others.
