Angel 3

looking into your eyes i could see such a beautiful soul in the passion of innocence crying out at me please darling do not make it any harder on me i wish to tell you only i cannot sweetheart you are to young then you began pleading god help me i thought the last thing one wanted to do was hurt someone so sweet i turned and said your my angel you just do not know it yet then you said that your mother was twenty years older than your father whom you said was dead i sternly said in a soft yet clear voice darling i am not willing to take the gamble a little annoyed looking at me surprised when i said find someone closer to your own age i never sweet talked her always acted oneself its you i am interested she said thinking to myself she knew nothing about me never mentioning hospitals at the time a touchy subject not anything to do with my past i did remember months earlier her asking if i were single saying yes as at the time broken up nearly seven months the urges were there but lost all energy and spark found it difficult trusting looking at her directly in the eyes i said to her sweetheart look at me i am old enough to be your father putting my arms around you giving you a hug like i would my daughter ever so gently please let me go i said i do not want to hurt you it was like you wanted never to let go i braced my arms down my sides pushing you gently away for that i am so sorry i began wishing you all the happiness in the world telling you youth is in your favor then you began promising me a family this poor little angel promised me a world i told all my friends about you she said they all know your age it does not bother any of them its like no was not the answer that your heart desired i do not mean to be cruel if something were to happen me it was then you questioned my response sternly telling me that you had told your mother about me in words inside my mind i was completely shocked nearly told her about hospital before you made the move it was like the eyes had been on me for some time not even knowing when i was at my lowest i kissed you on the forehead like how i would with my daughter then you began clinging to me listen i said do not make it any harder it was then you knew i was saying goodbye continued angel 4

age is only a number unless of course they are below adult age, though I don't think I could go for someone young enough to be my child...I would feel as you in this poem...intriguing piece....

An intriguing story..making me want to know what happens next.How did it end or continue.I guess age doesn t have to do with love.It could be her heart is searching for a father figure in her comprimising man since she is without a dad.Being in hospital doesnt keep people from fallin in love either..Past experiences do.I guess when the right persons meet they feel it in their bones..The love..affection..emotion..Maybe in the future you ll be able to love again..till then leave it to the stars.

in sweet cherry blossoms drops of dew falling misted in a prayer before the sun sleeps the moon winks to you goodnight
