Truth

If I saw you in a crowded room
you'd be the one I'd see.
If I were to dream one night
It would be of you and me.

I know what they say
about love
is untrue.
But since we've met
I can only think of you.

You're the one and only
thing in my life that's real.
I'm begging, please.
Let me tell you how I feel.

Hmm.... another deep poem. This is really good. I like the perspective of the person and how they see the other one from "across the room". I liked the last stanza, it's kind of Casablanca-esque. Good one Bela,
Keep up the good work (^_^)

P.S~ FIRST

deep, love it

Bela said...

Thanks to both of you! This actually started off as a song before I edited it...
What does FIRST mean?

Don't take this the wrong way, but I kind of thought that parts of thr last stanza were a bit redundant, considering that you just told the person exactly how you felt for the past eight lines; in fact, to me the poem makes complete sense without it. This reminds me of the two poems Maria and I read at our cousin's wedding, in that they both have a very traditional rhyme scheme and rhythm and use general descriptions.

"I Will Love You Forever

I love you so deeply,
I love you so much,
I love the sound of your voice
And the way that we touch.
I love your warm smile
And your kind, thoughtful way,
The joy that you bring
To my life every day.
I love you today
As I have from the start,
And I'll love you forever
With all of my heart."

Andrew, I'm confused when you say the last line reminds you of Casablanca. I've only seen it once so I don't know it very well, but I'm having trouble thinking of the reason why you made that connection... By the way- Casablanca-esque is a cool word, heehee.

Quit flirting Gina...
Just kidding!
Oh, and I now understand what he meant by 1st. I'm feeling kind of dumb right about now.

Gina said...

That song we heard today is starting to influence my brain.




Just kidding. I just decided that I should quote random stuff at least as much and Andrew and Maria.

Bela said...

I'm sorry, are you talking about "I Kissed A Girl"? Please tell me you're not...

Bela said...

Thanks Nood!

Bela said...

And Rhymes is spelled like that.
(See the way I spelled it)

Gina said...

When I say I was kidding, I do mean that there was no seriousness implied to my sarcastic comment. It was supposed to be funny, but I guess not... Some people just don't appreciate cerebral humor. Gosh.

Mackenzie said...

thnx you. Rhymes!!! yes i spelled it right

Bela said...

It's a new age, Gina.
Just kidding...
And you're welcome Nood!
