Reality and “Who Knows?”

Have you ever talked with someone
That seemed to know your heart?
Or chatted at a coffee shop
With one so far apart?

Of course you know you’re married
and further you’ll not go.
But wouldn’t it be nice just once
To feel that secret glow?

You’d not be one to wander out
Nor urge on something snide
What if you had a loving friend
That you’d hide away inside?

No one would ever know about
This little flame you carry,
A “just someone to think about”
When life’s a little scary.

There is a place in all of us
That’s not quite off the wall
But offers up safe harbor if
our world’s about to fall.

It might not ever happen, friend
This scene and how it goes
Myself I put it right between
Reality and “Who knows?”

"A “just someone to think about”
When life’s a little scary.

There is a place in all of us
That’s not quite off the wall
But offers up safe harbor if
our world’s about to fall."

Boy do I know someone like this!
Someone to turn to who knows me so well...
even better than I know myself at times.
And, therein lies a safe place to fall.
"Someone....to watch over me....."
~Soft smiles and hugs m'friend~

~Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain~

Ken

Yes!

"A “just someone to think about”
When life’s a little scary."

I have a friend like that

"But offers up safe harbor if
our world’s about to fall."

A some kind of wonderful thing to have indeed!

Loved this poem!

of course you know I don't believe in marriage or love right now...maybe in the future, but I believe there is just too much out there to be tied to one person...too many connections to be made...too much to see and do and feel

but maybe I'm wrong

my Honey does, and has for a very long time....
even before we fell in love

A “just someone to think about”
When life’s a little scary.


Again, my Honey-love. I reckon I'm hooked on him, huh?

Seriously, I think, though, that more folks
relate to this if they would let themselves admit it.  LOL

A good poem, Ken.  
Hugs,
Ethel

kayjay,
  an inspired poem, I'd say!  Yes, I think there are people who snag onto your heart, understanding what it's made of... I've had this happen with soul mates of both sexes.  (I find it tends to pose a problem when of opposite sexes.  Sometimes it just doesn't seem right, but understandable.) I enjoyed this very much.  May I keep it?

Nice thoughts, Sir...
to think that you are thought of
by an unexpected mind...
