You, I Think

a poem

I really don’t know you 

Other than what I think I know 

My observations 

Your reactions, unseen 

Your silence 

Your presence 

Water always finds the perfect fit 

Perfection is perception 

And I think you are 

Beautiful 

Flawed 

Perfect 

You are you with me

You aim to please 

You please to appease 

Do you know me? 

You never speak your mind 

If only you knew the you that I know 

If only I knew 

Things might be different

But if an I ...did
and you as well
could even a we handle
...our selves?

[Paul Bell]

I'm wondering if you speak of yourself in that context we all do, if only I could be this way, do it that way.
Probably why humans are so complex. Like your stuff.

Paul, thank you!

I am really partial to your paradoxes in this poem...
"Beautiful/ Flawed/ Perfect"

The silence...the speaker wishes the other would not try to appease so much...she is wondering if maybe she could love him if he would show himself.
