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
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.
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.
It's perfect to know that hell is beyond us and hell is befuddled , its something that we KNOW is true........ I love you .........for this I say I LOVE YOU>>>>>>>for this I say hat there is NOTHING you can say to defer me from LOVE because for love is the perfection of hope and love is the perfection of LOVE.... this to me is PERFECTION in itself... don't give up the hope ....don't give up the perfection of the thought of LOVE...it is perfection in it's light...........
"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.
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.
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.
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.

Still my favorite poem on TH-cam. Still brings tears to my face. I love you, Mary Fons!
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.
you saved my life 6 years ago.
Has been and always will be my favourite poem ever.

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.
it’s been fifteen years and i still think about this performance at least once a month
This video has helped me through so many restless nights trying to cope with the loss of the love of my life.
Been a while since I heard this poem. It’s 2023. I’m still here 👌 I’m glad it’s still up.
This made me cry 12 years ago and apparently still does.
Years later... And I still love this poem the same way I did when I first heard it
fuck... just amazing. i've been watching this over and over for months
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.

I still keep coming back to this 10 years later…. 2022✨
There is something about this poem that makes me feel so cozy inside

I heard this poem in a Literature class in 2010.
I come back to it year after year ❤
This poem/reading is not only profound and beautiful, it's medicine. I will prescribe it to others.
This poem made me shiver and feel the warmth of tears at same time ...... love is such a paradox.
I listen to this at least once a day since I was shown it.
5 years late on finding this one, but still quite possibly the most beautiful poem i've ever felt.
