I Know Who You Are

You're like the eclipse of the moon

half here, half there

You're like the stars in the sky

a billion miles away

You're like the ocean

so mysterious deep underneath

You're like a wild bird

easily scared into flight

You're like a river and the rapids

unknowingly changing your flow

You're like a blustery day

always changing directions

You're like a canyon

beautiful but deadly if lost inside

You're like storm clouds

dark and grey emotions

I'm lost in trying to understand you

I yearn to change you ways

but you're not capable of change

so we'll go our separate ways

we all have our flaws, if we can't connect to them as a whole, it will be hard to connect to someone else. There is so much truth in this piece, about relations that gone in separate ways, never again to be repair as it was in the past, but can be repair through friendship and forgiveness. Thanks for sharing such wonderful piece my friend...

[audrie]

You're absolutely welcome friend. . . thanks for the thoughtful review!

I like this because of the truth of it. So many people naively go into relationships trying to understand someone and it's not always possible or even needed. Why is it necessary to understand someone to love them? And of course change can only come from within, we cannot implement it on someone else.

[audrie]

That's true - you can't force someone to change, it does have to come from within. thanks for the review!

accept them for who they are don't try to change anyone love them or leave them alone changing them will only bring you heartache. Well written poem.

Its beautiful. THe comparisons are brilliant, I loved them. Reminds me of the person I love, how much I try to change his habits and how he never gets rid of them but then in the end you know what is going to happen.. :)
