This poem is for you
And it will be the same
The years cannot alter
Loving you is my aim
Nothing will ever change
Even though I am dead
You're my absolute world
My love never unsaid

There is something about a poem
when it has the word
"you" in it.

Everyone believes it is for
them.

Good job, m'friend.

No, Sunshine, I don't believe that "you" in anybody's poem is for me, especially in love poems!
But I think that it's for "something" in me, as well as in everyone, who can relate to the message! Since we can feel and understand it to some degree, it's for God in us, isn't it?
Even if we are not addressees, we are wires

I guess you are right to some degree, Karilea, and sometimes I use "she," but for the life of me I just couldn't do it this time. Thanks for chiming in.

Thanks Gale. You have pretty much hit on it when you said it is the spiritual side of "you" that chooses to interpret the 'you" so personally. Thank you for being here.

Shakespeare often used "you" in his sonnets, but I never imagined that he wrote to me
