From The Birds

by Frances Wade...Virgo - Not entered

If only you could feel
And if you didn't have to conceal
If you had the power to touch
Would you cherish me as much?

Many years now I have remained
In the back of your mind with memories you retain
An image and last hope you can't comprehend
And you still believe that I'm your only friend

Fall evenings and you were mine
A clue to the mystery I have yet to find
A thought and a dream so many worlds away
You pursued my devotion without any delay

Late afternoon breeze and you were afraid
Didn't think you could escape from the incredible maze
Repetitious melodies from the birds
I couldn't speak so you wrote down the words

A distant while I drifted from thought
Fragrant spring flowers and a change was brought
Next season your mind was far and body so close
And I didn't wish to make the greeting toast

You pulled out and it was a different gear
For you much better; there was far less fear
And now I ask if you need me as before
I want to be the one and only you truly adore

If you could tap the sensation with a single reflection
Would I experience your longing or simple rejection?
If you could exist as me for one in the same
Would you still treat it as a sort of game?

I miss your innocence and solitude play
I realized you've changed but I wish you would stay
I know I can't be seen or physically felt
But remember that without me you couldn't have dealt.

Reason for writing:

    Guilt
