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, but 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

      • ron parrish aka wordman

        I wonder how many could confess the same feelings

        • Accidental Poet

          Or the courage Ron. It's only because I knew she was leaving soon that I knew if I didn't tell her, she'd never know. And I'd live to regret it. My only hope is that she didn't regret knowing. Thanks Ron for reading and your comment.

              Who could not respond to this kind of life-long love and confessed with such tenderness - -- a deeply heart-moving read my friend.

              • Accidental Poet

                Thank you Fay. Nice to know that this is all seen from a positive viewpoint the same as I have seen it for so long. 😊

                  I always knew that I'd always love her, but I didn't know it would grow this strong. And yes, it will deepen for the rest of my life. Thanks Andy.

                • myself and me

                  I pray for the miracle to happen that one day you and your Sharon meet again.

                  • Accidental Poet

                    If not here on Earth, I know where we will meet again. 😉 Thanks m&m
