Watching You Watching Me

I see your face behind the scenes
knowing you are watching me.
I remember those days when
you would sneak a peek,
but I knew, I always knew
and played your game.

At night, sometimes you intertwine
with recent thoughts and your face
appears on another's body,
confusing me even more.
The old desires creeping in,
no longer locked away, respect
no longer an antiquated thought.

There will always be
a special place I can travel to,
if only in my mind, where two people
ran hand in hand to the top of a hill
and watched over, where their future
would take hold.

They say you only love like that once.
I wouldn't know the truth of that,
for second chances have yet to come my way.
Timing is everything, and for now
I have time on my side.

And I will smile behind the scenes,
knowing you are watching me~

Maureen,
Reads like a fishing story to me.

Not sure what kind of a fishing story you mean Sy...but 'tis the truth

Dixie, Bluesy and I have met, slightly different lives but we each have the same needs *s
( and wasn't it you who once wrote you visited a brother in DC...if so the next time you visit, let me know...I am not that far away.)
thanks

It's a pretty heady view from the mountain top.  
Really loved your thoughts here Maureen,
as well as the memories you've tucked away.

Lori, I was going back over 30 years of memories...sometimes I can tell he is watching me as I do things around here...
sometimes he "hangs around" a bit too much

Thanks...
hugs

feels good knowing "someone special waits and watches"

a "not-so-secret" secret audience

Yes, so true and maybe, the beauty and mystery of life itself....

beautiful read
