a lifetime

for years
i've loved you.

your strength.
your imperfections.

while i myself
quietly search
for answers in
lost shadows
among mirrors.

always gazing gazing
wondering wondering

why and how
i found you.

only you.

    This was short and sweet...in a way. I liked it...and I can't really think of anything else to say considering the fact that I'm unnaturally tired. But good job! Good luck in the contest, and thanks for entering!

    This leaves me wondering as well, just as you were doing in the end... gazing and lost in your thoughts. I could lose myself in your poem just by recollecting memories and emotions from the past and trying to sort them all out. This is a very good write, and I enjoyed the read.
