DO YOU UNDERSTAND, REALLY?

This is something I have thought about a lot over the years. Have you ever wondered how much you really understand someone else? How they think, feel, what makes them happy, sad, embarrassed..etc.? I have. I've come to the conclusion that you can't ever r

UNDERSTANDING
When I look into your eyes,
I can see how you feel,
Laughter, joy, love,
the pain and the fear.
I can see the tears,
rolling down your face.
I can see the smiles,
the frowns, the expressions.
and at these times,
I can hear it in your voice.
I can feel your hands tremble,
Have we made the right choice?
But I can't feel your pain,
I can't feel your regrets,
I can only guess at the strain,
That you're going through.
I want to know what you know,
I want to feel what you feel,
So I can better grow,
In my understanding,
and knowledge of who you are.
Maybe I'm too demanding.
Presuming my understanding.
Give me a chance,
and at a glance.
I'll see....
YOU!

[*~Imperfectly Me~*]

I like this poem... We never are able to truly understand what another person feels... I wish i could... I think when we care about someone we wish we could feel what they feel so we could know how to fix it. Great poem!

We all have pain to go through, but sometimes to show it is a hard thing to do, or even not the right thing to do,,, looking back for me, when I was learning about myself, I have many regrets, and feel much pain.. But having said that, everything I have done thus far has made me the person I am,,,,

Nice poem,
Much adored.

Love
Me
