Poems of love

Poems seem to flow from me. It is easier to put things into poetic form, if I could sing maybe I would write poems in song form. This song has been stuck in my head from before I met Magic Eyes, but all through the short time I knew her, it was running through my head with meaning, but not the meaning that the song intended. My own words.

This is not those words, there were no words before, nor is there now.

Are you a woman I used to know?
When I look at you across the room, 
Your magical eyes casting beams around,
They hit me for a second and look away,
Are you embarrassed by the man, you used to know?

When you removed me from your Facebook, were you protecting me?
Did you feel that your actions would cripple me,
Are you going back on your own words,
Friends we would be, but you have cut me off,
Are you a woman I used to know?

When I think of you I see a reflection of me.
Only a gulf of a number years,
Similar experiences in one weird way,
Do you not see me as your opposite?
Will you see me as a man you used to know?

It is scary to think of you,
I see that it could go either way,
As star trapped lovers or life long friends,
Looking into infinity and seeing you there,
Now you are just a person I used to know.

You are the person I most want to know,
Friends like you are more rare than you could know,
When you get older you will truly know.
I don't care if you hurt me,
Because you are the person I most want to know.

You are afraid that the person you most know,
Will become the person I most desire,
And not the person you could become.
But I like the person you are now,
And would love the independent woman you would be.

You are the person I want to know,
You will be the woman I want to love, 
But you are not there yet.
And I shall never know that woman now,
You shall be that person I used to know.
