If You Were Here

Seems that no matter where I go
Even though it's fun and I have a great time
It could be better if you were there with me

Everytime I see the trailer to a movie
If it looks worthwhile to go
You are the first I want to ask to see it with

I can go hang out with my friends
People I've known for a very long time
But the group isn't complete without you in it

The list of friends I do hang out with a lot is short
Yet they are all kind and caring people
You are the most kind and caring of them all

I can talk to any girl, new or old
And I might have a good conversation
But no one can bring a smile to me my face like you can

I don't know what the future holds for us
There may not be one
But you are here in my present



...what exactly am I expecting out of this?  nothing, i just posted it in case someone likes to read poems.

its really hard to write poetry which everyone likes
because sometimes it becomes good after several readings and thinkings (usually after poet is very old or deceased)
its not a bad passage
maybe just not my type atm.

Here's an easy one. Anyone guess where this one came from?

"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'"

What u think about this 1? Remember, length doesnt matter in poetry , sometimes small, on first sight silly phrases , can get really strong:

Mirror,mirror on the wall,
You make me feel so low,
Mirror,mirror on the wall,
Now i have to go.

Alright, shortest poem in the world and I'm not kidding.

and this isn't really a poem, but I really like it and if you think about it.... the way it's cut out makes it seem like one

"Some birds aren't meant to be caged,
their feathers are just too bright.
And when they fly away,
the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoyce.
But still,
the place you live in is that more drab an empty that they're gone.
I guess I just miss my friend."

I think... it could mean several things.  It does remind a person of these feelings or situations :-

1) Maybe the user of the mirror is too short abnd cannot see his reflection? And as he ponders the mirror he realises he will never see it and has to leave.

2) "so low" sould also mean that the reflection makes the viewer feel sad? And is it his sadness that drives him away from the mirror?

3) Maybe the feeler of the emotions is not the viewer, but the reflection or the mirror itself? The reflection has to "go" because of self awareness non-existence? Or the mirror itself is a thinking entity and is merely reflecting the thoughts of threader?

It is a bit strange that a girl like yourself likes dark poetry. Your picture shows you to be more of a party animal!

well , if u see that picture u would think im a *party animal* , but in fact im not
i do go to party s but only once a week.
in fact, if u note down my activity on nwn and other games u know i m not a party animal, i think im more the associal shye type... with a lil gothic touch
Some of u people asked me on nwn what a girl, with my looks (there words) do on in here. Well, i am a bit associal, that has their reasons, but fact is, i like games and all around it. I do wish i had a boyfriend but, im too shye to look myself, they have to come to me. And all boys ive met so far who wanted to hit on me were macho types wo didnt had anything to say except some macho talking to their friends about me...
It doesnt mean i dont like party s , i like going there and having fun there as u could see
