Sunrise

[Falcon2001]

I wanted to watch the sunrise with you

But never had the chance to ask

Red roses and a single light

Providing us with pre-dawn sights

The wind around us full of life

And you, so vibrant and mysterious

But I never asked

So you never said yes

 

I wanted to walk with you

But never took the time to ask

Down paths and hills I knew

Secret ways in the forest of my youth

A whispering brook would sing

Of secret things and hidden springs

But I never mentioned it

So you never took me up

 

I wanted to spend my life with you

But never found the words to say it

Thinking of the universal truths

Of love and life and secret ways

Every sunrise spent with you

Until the days were burnt into our minds

But I never had the heart to ask

So you never said I do.

I can easily sympathise with the feelings expressed in the poem.

 

Nicely written.

Wow I really like this one. It is very sad but paints such a vivid picture.

[Regel]

A big sigh and an overwhelming desire to have had the courage to take more chances. The hesitation of a love struck young man that can now regret his indecision at his leisure. Nicely written
