There was and there is always a communication gap
Between what had been told by me and heard by you
But things told by me were never meant the way you heard it
Neither I overlooked your insecurities at anytime nor used your love for pleasure

But ultimately we have reached a point were
'We' dont coexists anymore and its difficult with all
That have been said and done by bith of us
But just question yourself , how can I know you ?

You never speak freely nor show your feelings
In case we love how am I to know who you are
I have tried so much but you always like to give hints
You told to look my heart for answers and I'll find it
I tried and I couldn't , for I don't know you

If there is a possiblity of a long term relationship
I need to know what you fear and you need to know me
When I tried to put things more clearly we drifted apart
Just know even I suffered the loss of your love

You're a simple woman and I'm also a simple person
But together we're a complicated bunch with so many hideouts
We don't speak and even if we speak its misintrepreted
I want you but not with so many masks to mar your real person

I want you as you wish you'd like to be
I want you as you desire me too
I want you uninfluenced by me
I want you like the person who once touched my life
I want you as the person who knows when I'm confused
I want you to be frank and open only to me
Above all I want to know you

We'll grow and growth does not mean wealth
Growth of love in our hearts
That can enlighten our inner being
Lit our passion and make each other love

Its candour we lack and its necessary
I'm not perfect and neither are you
So don't strife for perfection
I'm perfect with you as you're with me

Just remember what I told you earlier
You're simple and I'm too
But together we're a complicated bunch
Its clear that we have lost trust in each other

Neither I could help nor you could
We both tried in subtle ways but its insufficient
I need to see you and you need to see me
Its our ego and insecurity that fails us

You're my sun and I'm your rainbow
Just feel that and even though whatever happens
In the years to come nothing will be lost
If we decide to part in love and friendship

Just remember I'll always be with you
When you need me the most
We'll laugh our woes and uphold our pride
But when its time we'll know and we'll cry together


Sincerely
A_L

amazon_lover...

I felt the pain and anguish in your poem of wanting to love someone who doens't let you in.  I too have had that experience before. You express it so well in this poem. AWESOME!!
