If I Should See You Again Poem by Rani Turton

If I Should See You Again

Rating: 5.0


If I should see you again
Across some busy city street
If I should see your face as I've longed to
For years, for so many years
Will I just stand there stupidly
My face wet with tears?

But wait, there's more to come.
I'll probably just stand and watch
You walking swiftly from sight.
If I could have my freedom and words-
And I no longer want to be so weak:
Then I would probably find my courage and speak.

Has a nice flow and I like the word 'probably' in the final line.

Rani-i interpret your poem this way; one partner is waiting for the other eagerly; other never minds it and leaves; the waiting one finds the real self and gets back the original form......with this meaning i like to share that one way love is painful and it is better to be away from such love...great

Only if it's meant to be my friend! Should it be 'carpe diem', or leave it be? An excellent work. Thanks. PS: Please read my poem 'Old Flame.'
