About the Poem

We always have this set of ideals for our special one. But life, as fickle and volatile as it may be, never grants us the exact things we want. Same with finding her, I never expected that she was waiting for me, loving me . . . just there.

Just There

Where you were,
I did not see you.

So close to me,
but yet so veiled.

Quietly you waited,
upon my invitations;
but still, somehow,
I failed to note

of you, yearning
to be with me,
but finding
just

a void.

So sadly,
you retreated;
bowed, dejected.

Finally when I knew
of you, your devotion,
so foolishly I did feel,
like a simpleton.

For I had looked
so very hard for you,
up/down/everywhere.

but I just did not looked
clear, in front of me,
where you were

. . . just there.

i can relate to this because this once happened to me. i was looking for the one guy who would treat me better than anything and would love me for who i was and i didn't even realize that he was standing right in front of me. he was the one guy that i told everything to and i could talk to. he was one of my best friends and i didn't even realize that he was the one until it was too late. i wish i'd never made that mistake and i wish i could have another chance.
