you never knew

you never knew 

you never knew that i loved you
i watched you make your every move
you never knew my heart was yours
i wrote you love letters every day
you never saw them, they were never sent

you passed me in the hallway at school
i melted into a puddle of awe and bliss
you never knew i dissolved this way 
i went to the mall to smell your perfume 
you never knew i loved the way you smelled

you never saw the image i had of you
i couldn't draw but i drew pictures of you everyday
you never knew i knew your face by heart
i memorized the way your lips curled into a smile
you never knew i loved your smile

you never knew i was so sad when went with him
i wished that was me by your side instead
you never knew how good i'd treat you
i saw him flirt with girls behind your back
you never knew how faithful i would be

you never knew i had a photo of you on my wall
i gazed at your yearbook photos for hours on end
you never knew i took a photo from your brother 
i wished i is was in those photographs with you
you never knew i still dream of your face at night

Telepathy is defined as “the transmission of information from one person to another without using any of our known sensory channels or physical interaction.” In modern fiction and science fiction, many superheroes and super-villains are endowed with telepathic abilities. The term was coined in 1882 by the classical scholar Frederic W. H. Myers, a founder of the Society for Psychical Research, and has remained more popular than the earlier expression thought-transference. (Wikipedia) Writing about telepathy, King suggests that we are “downstream on the time-line”. We are in the here-and-now and as he writes from the past, he

Christmas Day is here!

Christmas Day is here!

old friends searched online for former friends surprised to see untimely ends friends, their spouses, moms and dads sad to see the deaths they had the inexorable tick and tock of time, leads us all to fields, sublime through twisting, turning hands of fate, soon we'll all be known as "late" years roll on, time is passed no one knows how long it lasts each life is counted out by days as friends we oft go separate ways friend's faces show the lines of age as each one turns his separate page fools fleeting time waits for no man eighty years our lives may span so count your days with special care for who knows how, who knows where our beating hearts will one day stop find old friends before they drop © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image adapted:  By SDRandCo via morguefile.com
