Simple Words 11418

It occurred to me today as my thoughts turned toward you, that I have only ever seen a part of you, the very small part you chose to share with me in a very small way in this very small place. The real you is locked behind a door that I have no access to and that is partly my own doing because I have never been one to sell my soul to the devil just to be privy to the goings on in another person's life.

I figure it this way, a person will show me what they want me to know whether I join their exclusive club of insiders or not.

Funny thing though, I know more than you think, more than I let on, and what I know is kept to myself, inside my mind where you show up from time to time, or most every single day.  It is there I have my deepest conversations with you, in the dark of the night, or in the light of the sun.

And that is how you sometimes know, when  I am slipping away, because sometimes in those conversations, I truly think you hear my thoughts.

I know where my heart is, and I know where yours is.  I wish I could say I hope your dreams come true, but I am not sure you are dreaming for the right thing.  I think your dream, as it stands now, will hurt you in the end.

But there is nothing I can do, but talk to you in those conversations in my mind, and hope somehow it will help you.

Staring out toward the misty blue
My mind drifted back to you
Then it started to rain
As I waited there in vain
Hoping to see you again


The lighthouse turned off it's beacon
But the darkness seemed to comfort me

Im someone no one ever gets to know
But you loved me just the same.

And through my arms, I felt you melt away.

It's not poetry, just thoughts penned as they came to me one night. I never could make them run smoothly, but maybe there was a reason for that.
