Can You See Me

Can you see me
As I stand waiting
For the day you recognize 
I am the one you have been searching for 
 
Yes I pray the day will come
When you open your eyes 
and finally see me
As the one who was meant for you 
 
Can you hear me
As I stand waiting
Silent in the dark loneliness of my world
Hoping one day to feel the comfort of your loving arms around me

Would you love me
If you could see me
For what I would be 
If you could see me

Yet with lips sealed 
I am found standing in silence 
Seen bland and without color 
Pasted upon the stale wall of observation 

Longing for you,,,, yet even more so for myself.......to see the color within. 


Life’s not easy
 with its maybes 
and it’s  “if onlys”

Hi Darrell, I thought I left a comment on this lovely poem, so filled with longing, when I first read it. I guess not, sorry. I enjoyed it.

Wow ! Thank you James. This work has one of my favorite thoughts : Would you love me If you could see me For what I would be If you could see me How glorious we feel and delightful we become when we are truly loved…. Have a great day James !
