    When I look at you,
    Through someone elses eyes,
    In their size sevens,
    Even though I fit fives,
    What do i see?

    Do I see the gorgeous guy,
    Who used to take my stare,
    The one who i found perfect,
    Who I loved and cared?

    Do I see someone I hate?
    Who I detest with all my mind?
    Someone I spit and walk away,
    And leave you left behind?

    Do I see a childish figure,
    Immature and hyperactive?
    Do I laugh and point a hand,
    or live and let live?

    NO.

    I see the guy who takes my hug,
    Puts up with my rights and wrongs,
    i'm sorry that i doubted you,
    The friend that was there all along.

    I like it, it's short and simple, I'm not saying that you didn't put a lot of time in to it, just saying that it's easily comprehendable and effective, that's all

    lis is that about who I think it may possibly be about? Or is it about one of those prostitues (male and female) that you call friends?

    :):):) Is this about the guy that i know that you know likes you know who when it wasn't quite what it seemed but nevertheless was incandescent? Cos if it was that's cool! However, having said that, in my opinion, it would not be an unjustifiable statement to suggest that, in some ways, the poem is indeed fervent, and in many ways, symptomatic of a more general underlying sense of malaise that lies between yourself and you know who i mean. Good show! :):):)

    I like it - as said, easily read and understood. I like the simple language but it gives a real depth of feeling. Good flow throughout
