I see clearly now through your shaded glass Two images in the window Where my own has been in the past Oh its not a real lover Just her fading memory But the wall it puts between us Is as real as it can be I dont know how to fight Something I cant even touch I only know I love you And I hope you know how much So I stand here silently watching These silhouettes in your mind And hoping that one day real soon It will be my silhouette you find |

Interesting. To me this poem depicts a young person, probably teenage to late 20's, who has a crush on the person of their dreams. I like it very much. "So I stand here silently watching These silhouettes in your mind And hpoing that one day real soon I will be my silhouette you find." The above verse read like music to my ears. Garfield |

Paula - very well-written! Love triangles are always heart-wrenching, even when the "other woman" or "other man" only appears as a silhouette...  Troy Beautiful, Thought-Provoking Poetry http://www.h-systems.net/p1.htm |

Hi Paula... It is hard to know there is someone else involved. I do know about that kind of pain, and what you wrote here is beautifully put, and heartfelt. You always say things so well! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

What a true reflection of love's waiting hand you have shown. Love has no time and waits with the gentle touch that can be seen in your own waiting. Simply lovely  |
