Why Can't He See Me? I whispered thoughts in his direction Did the wind forget to carry them Didn't he notice my complexion Flushed with loving thoughts of him Does he even know I'm here Watching him from right behind Is his heart so cold that he Would just pretend that he is blind Does he really know I love him Should I tell him face to face No, I think I ought to whisper Perhaps another time and place Why doesn't he look at me Would he turn away out of fear So close that I could touch his hand Why can't he see me standing here If he could only know how much I long to feel his loving touch Perhaps he'd turn to look at me Perhaps he'd kiss me tenderly Elizabeth Santos |

Elizabeth, He dwells a different dimension But where it is I cannot mention. I'm sure he tries in his own way. But commitments, well what can I say? *L* |

Very touching Liz, I loved it, thanks for sharing. I think someone needs the number of a good eye doctor. |
