Perceive Life
Can you see me?
Am I alive?
I call to you
You don’t notice
Ignored –
I’m not important
At least not to you
No love for me
From me –
Can you see me?
I can’t see
The Only One
I remember when I first saw you
Unlike the other women you were
I made it a goal to speak to you
I never caught you at the right time
Few and far between were our meetings
It seemed that it was not meant to be
Years passed, and you were only a dream
I’d never captivate a goddess
Your blue eyes were always in my thoughts
Golden hair like yours would catch my eye
I saw you, but I did not see you
I only saw what I wanted to
When you came to me, I couldn’t breathe
I did not believe it could be real
If you choose someone else over me
I would not be angry or upset
I may not be with anyone else
I’d compare them to you; they would fail
You’re the only one I dream about
