Just There
I was just there,
Me you did not see.
So close to you,
but yet so veiled.
Quietly I waited,
upon your invitations;
but still, somehow,
You failed to note
of my yearning
to be with you,
but finding
just a void.
So sadly,
I retreated;
bowed, dejected.
Finally when you knew
of me,of my devotion,
so foolishly you did feel,
like a simpleton.
For you had looked
so very hard for me,
up/down/everywhere.
but you just did not look
clear in front of you,
right where I stood..
. . . just there.
