I love you today
more than ever
the words you
easily confess
and the look that says it all
and yet I miss
the tentative words
you took your time
to say to me long ago
the uncertainty of it all
when we first met
I was so shy
the words we simply
could not say then
were the best of all

so beautifully said !
ReplyDeleteLoved it.
Thank you Nimue. First sparks of love can last a lifetime...
DeleteNinot Ma'am,
ReplyDeleteOne gets tongue-tied at the wrong time. And this is quite normal for young lovers! Nicely Ma'am!
Hank
At the wrong time, indeed. But with hindsight and nostalgia - it was so charming !
DeleteOh this is so lovely. But I always hated the uncertainty part of beginnings. Best is the security of what you have Now. Love this, Ninot!
ReplyDeleteWe can only enjoy security after knowing uncertainty, Sherry - n'est pas?

Great to see your words blooming...
Thank you dear Moonduster, my friend...
Delete"The words you simply could not say." Really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Words simply could not describe those first moments...
DeleteFinding no words can be the best thing to say for sure, wonderful write.
ReplyDeleteYes, Pat! you understand perfectly... Thank you for dropping by.
DeleteWhat a grand love afair indeed Ninot! One that has lasted the test of time. A lovely write, and I agree with Pat finding no words can be the best thing to say. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I found someone to love without reserve, Carrie. To think we could have missed out due to prejudices and old fashioned beliefs.
DeleteSometimes being brave is all about following your heart.
I think the time when lovers first met is always the sweetest memories which stay fresh regardless of time and age. It is a great experience when the words we want to express are restrained by shyness, and once it is said, it remains so meaningful.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you arranged the stanzas, it makes the poem so appealing.
That is so true, Zunnur - about first moments. Good of you to notice the arrangement, I do pay attention to these kind of things - for pure enjoyment.
