Silhouette of Love

Accidental Poet



My dearest Sharon

In your deepest thoughts

Perhaps you remember me

The boy with love you taught

 

That was me hiding

In the shadows of your youth

Until I learned you’d be leaving

And I confessed to you my truth

 

Please forgive me love

For being so shy

Didn’t know how to say

I love you, so I had to try

 

I took a chance

Out on that limb

But I had to tell you

Or live my life regretting

 

Out from the silhouette

Into the light

My identity revealed

For you to see me right

 

I hope you knowing

The love for you I speak of

Not of guilt, but of pride

My silhouette of love

    That first love can be so hard to fulfill sometimes but I am sure she will remember you.

      Good write AP.

    • L. B. Mek

      acutely depicting such a universal experience,
      who hasn't been jolted into instantaneous confession
      at the mere threat of losing that special person from our everyday connection..
      a great read, worded so accessibly relatable

        But she left an unforgettable positive impression. Thanks for reading and the note LB.
