My poem to You

This is for French, who's been patient and kind, with my strange ways, my weird thoughts, and for most importantly, being you. Thank you.

Reaching deep down

into the very pit of your soul,

gracing untouched feelings with unseen fingers,

love lights the fire.

 

I must confess, thats what happened to me,

the first time I saw you,

you seemed so perfect, so clear,

that I knew then you rid me of my fears.

 

Although you may not see it my dear,

but you stood out to me.

With eyes so deep,

they chased away, the current lamet of me.

 

My sweet one, you're so kind,

so loving and full of hope.

When our eyes meet, you smile at me,

and I find myself smiling back.

 

Youre touch is amazing,

I love throwing myself in your arms,

because when you embrace me,

fire kindels my spirit.

 

My dear I'm so very sorry,

for making you wait for me,

I've told time after time,

that it's not expected of you.

 

But ever since that faithful day,

that I broke up with him,

I vowed that I would take my time,

and find if the next would be right.

 

I really don't want to screw this up,

I want for it to be real,

I want something true, that isn't false,

and not built up on rebound.

 

So that's why I wait,

I hope you understand,

that when I say we're not together,

I mean it for the best.

 

And so to you,

I write this poem,

to further your understanding,

that time can heal as well as strengthen

this feelings that I feel.

Author's Note

This is written upon true events. And though we're no longer together, this is still for French

French is very lucky you are being honest. You do not know what you want at this time and rather than starting something that may not be in the best interest of both parties you have decided to wait until you sort your thoughts and emotions out from a previous relationship. You acknowledge the good feelings French brings to you, yet there is a small doubt within you. How wise to wait before beginning a relationship that may not last. Your thoughts flow across the page. A skillful write.

Tayler, you've done a great job here in analyzing the heartstrings of emotion. Your imagery and honesty in what you say is very thought-provoking. Keep up the great work!
