You Never Knew Me

I truly thought
I had found myself
in a wondrous place
where you could truly see me,
and that all my words
were forever immortalized.
Held close.......
inside of your everything,
soft......as a breeze.

I laughed as you stared
into my eyes, asking my name.
With my heart in your hands
and the moonlight
at your beck and call.
Then......watching you walk away,
I smiled.......
even though I realized
you never knew me
at all.

like love at first sight so to speak falling for someone on sight as you first speak to them in a state of lost for love snapping back to reality seeing the things between you such as love and time shared was only a sense of inner thinking in ones self for he don't even know you to love you. as always keep writing fellow writer

sometimes the fantasy is better than the real thing...imagining what someone is thinking of us as we look at him or her...yes, better.

love in theory, perhaps better than love in reality...

hard to get hurt that way...and as we get older and experience so many relationships..i think we deflect others knowing us...distance being safer.

i like the "i smiled" line...

we know, they don't ...but we know.
they may have our heart in their hands for a moment...but we take it back, unscathed, before there is a chance for it to be crushed.

i like the honesty of this write...it slaps us in the face...sometimes straightforward is the best path...it is here.

nice write.

meetings like this are enchanting and even though you think what might have been you realize that it meant nothing.Great job.

This is very beautiful.

[Tate Morgan]

Such has always been the fate of we who dabble in the arts of conjuring love from our lives .But to not love is akin to death

A powerful poem of understanding. Sometime we learn the truth and it is okay. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
