Have you ever had a feeling
that you just can’t let go
Have you ever had someone
you loved, and needed them to know
I’m trying to fight the emotions
not wanting to put too many things in motion
but these thoughts are causing a lot of commotion
I don’t know her, but I feel connected
and her words, the reflection of a beautiful soul
are never rested
I don’t know how she is, or why she is
but her words came to me for a reason
and I need to answer why
I’m writing drunk off rhymes
desperately giving off signs
from feelings cultivated by time
Have you ever had a feeling
that you just can’t let go
Have you ever had someone
you loved, and needed them to know
I don’t know how to approach
a blank face
and the time between us
a blank space
Do I put possibility ahead of reality
Or wishes ahead of rejection
And who are you
to stand in my reflection
If time is my correction, then I haven’t learned
if empty stares my guide, then I’ve spurned
what most would concede at defeat
I don’t know what keeps me up at night
I just hear the words, feel them whisper and tickle this spirit
I know it’s right
I know it’s right
and it’s crazy to fight for something you can’t see
but I know it’s right
Have you ever had the feeling
that you need to let her go
Have you ever had someone
you never knew, but were desperate to know?
I think that people often bare their sole on here, more so than out in the open in person. For some there are no pretences. Nicely written 🙂

For the greatest tragedy of them all

Yes I have… beautiful words. It’s amazing how we can form such strong connections with people we’ve never met, perhaps never even spoken aloud with. It’s amazing when it happens and a rare gift to be treasured.
