I'd Rather Be A Cloud

Folder: 
The Letters

Both of us have become

ghosts of one another

 

I have left you alone for months

wondering if you've noticed my absence

It has snowed, several times 

and I've said nothing

Rained, 

like the ends of the Earth

and I've been patient

 

I am no fool

I know what I am to you..

a running joke

 

or maybe a passing cloud

lingering for an hour,

no more

 

You could love me 

and not say it

You could love me

and not remember it

Or

this affair may be done 

I may not have gotten the letter saying 

that you have stopped

 

Which is it?

There's not much worse than

There's not much worse than unrequited love. Too bad we can't turn love on and off at will.

I read this before...I love

I read this before...I love it. Anyone who has ever had to "write only" in order to show their love can relate to this. You're so subtle and so .... (damn...and I think I have said this to you before)... I can't put my finger on the word..

 

Well maybe it's because you have reached that point here you are just so "you", that there is no word but "you"... (and I think that's a good thing!!)

.... :-D


...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

I really am me :) I do pull

I really am me :) I do pull my writing styles from many different poets but in the end i seem to make it my own. I love your comments Allets and I hope to get more of them in the future!
