...think you know?

I often wonder ... what does he think of me, about me...?

 

When I think of what you think of me,

I imagine what you might foresee

 

Perhaps you think I’ve moved on,

Happily awakened to a brand new dawn

 

Nestled contentedly someplace else

Maybe you can even hear my wedding bells

 

But the truth is what you do not know

For I’ve never liked my wounds to show

 

Honestly dear I love you still

And probably, I always will

 

Your love in my heart, has been kept alive

How else do you think I could’ve survived?

 

As long as I hear you beat in my heart

I shall try to forget that we are apart.

 

Author's Note

Unedited. The ending seems abrupt. May add more to this.

This IS simply great, Caffeine. How true that how often we imagine our loved ones that they are happy and how wrong we be often. We simply cannot think that they are upset because of our relationship that begun and is now over. But the truth is really very different from what we imagine, as depicted in your poem. Liked yoour poem, HOnestly. ~KA~

Very nicely written poem, except for woken up is not proper english and does flowwell with the rest of your poem. Try -- happily awakened to a new dawn. Just my opinion -- I do that too on my first writes so don't feel bad. Tony

That you are thinking of what he could be thinking shows how much he is in your thoughts. You think he may feel you have moved on from him too easily; or you think how deeply you may have loved him he is not even aware of. How would you know if you never asked? This is why you question thoughts from someone you may never know the answer from. But in turn you show how you feel he has moved on from you...too easily as well...to not bother to ask, but ponder instead. It's fine as it is...but if you feel the need to change it it is your choice to your satisfaction.

This expresses exactly how a person feels when they realiZe the one that got away is the one they really loved most in this world..I have one from years ago I can't forget and still dream about. Merlin Lee Curtis..if I only knew where you are now and if you had a wonderful life..Sad huh..God bless..Valentine

this is pretty and honest. It is good to hope that things will change. It is not easy to let go. There is always a hope that he will recognize your qualities and change is decision. I enjoyed it very much. Also thanks for reading my poem yesterday. be well.
