Meeting

by Linda Hillier
15/03/2011

sitting in the sunshine
thinking of you and me
wondering what it will be like
this first meeting of ours
full of mixed feelings
running a little scared
yet my heart beats in anticipation
I'm in a spin as I wait for you
then I see you walking towards me
you smile at me and all doubts vanish
I draw close to you reaching out
you take me in arms and hug me
the world outside disappears
as we drift away into ours
could this be our new start
can love really be possible
maybe we could try to find out
I must admit I am not sure
So where to go from here?
Take each day as it comes?
Or let it go and move on?
doubting if I am ready
not sure if I can share
nor if I even want too
alone so long I have found
I like my own space
able to do just what I want
not having to consider another's needs
do I really want to change all this
that, yes that is the big question

About this poem:
can you ever be ready? Life is all about taking chances or passing them by. In this particular case I walked away

Hi, shadow1950,
While there is hope in each new meeting , the conception that we can change another (or even ourselves) to a great degree often yields to our experience. Two people will change, whether together or apart, that's what living does; but, that either can change in the way the other wants is another matter, entirely. Thank you for causing us to ponder the big question with you.

Hi Shadow

We can never know what or whom we might have met down a road we chose not to travel - or whether that road would have led to disappointment or happiness.

Nothing in life is without its uncertainties. A nice write.
