In Your Words

We have never met Never shared a glance Never spoke a single word I never got a chance to see your smile All I know of you is your words Written on a glowing screen Late at night Alone you sit staring ahead Typing words, thoughts and feelings Are you writing them for me to read? Is the poem a love letter to me? I can only hope that the thought of me inspired you How can I know what you were truly thinking? I can read into your words, between the lines I look into your heart I see a loved locked away for ages Yearning to be released I see in your words that it was meant for me all along We have never met Never shared a glance Never spoke a single word I never got a chance to see your smile All I know of you is your words And that is who I love

This is a wonderful write, Rob. Even though you and I have "never shared a glance," I do feel like I know you. Thank you for helping me so much last night. Much appreciated, my friend. Love, Carolyn

Robert, I think I knew right away who you were writing this too. Just from reading some of Catie's poems and seeing your comments today. I feel so ashamed it is like reading someone else's mail. Oh what the hay I enjoyed it. Wishing you the best. Love, Carol

Great Robert! and so true that someone's words can touch our very souls. The powerful statements that are being made through the conviences of technology.

aww so sweet, a great write, you can know someone through what they say in words in writing you can pick up on their nature and heart, everything is possible with God, lets hope they feel the same way back, God bless you from diane
