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.

That was a beautiful peom. See I myself like to write poems even though I am only 15. I couldn't have said it much better than that. You seem to put forth passion when you write. I wish you much luck in the furture. Thank-you for the inspiration.

Simply brilliant- this happened to my high school sweetheart and me over 30 years ago - but fate dealt the right hand and now we're together again. This speaks volumes about the perils of overlooking what is within your reach.
