Meet Me Halfway

"Meet Me Halfway" by: Eric L. Boddie I'm so sick of this....I'm wrong, you're wrong Baby please....I'm so tired of playing that song It's only us, me and you, only we can be right Don't give up on us now....help me in this fight Let's put the past where it belongs, behind us in the dust Help me prove that what we have is more than just lust We said we'd last forever, but that road sometimes gets rough Baby look inside your heart, I know our Love is more than enough To keep us on the course, we can't let this Love leave our sight Let's stop these silly games, and I mean, let's start it tonight I can't stand to see us like this, don't you remember how it was I want all the strings attached because that's just what Love does I don't know what to do, but I am going to make you see Just how much I Love you because I know you Love me We have to be together, I just don't know what else to say This is about us, not me and you, baby please, meet me halfway

Isn't this the way of life for many... and isn't that old adage true - with age comes wisdom, look back and think - did I do that?

That is great, it is easy to walk away, but worth the struggle of making it through the storm. Very well said, the recipient of your affection is lucky to have a man like you.

Good write, Eric, Love is a feeling that can not compare to other emotions, but rocky roads sometimes put stumbling blocks in front of us. A couple needs to be strong to overcome those stumbling blocks. A7

Great emotive write, Eric. I love the rhythm; sways like a love ballad. I enjoy the line, "I want all the strings attached because that's just what love does" Hugs, Kim

This read like a song and I could feel the desperation of wanting someone to stay. I have felt that same desperation before. Beautifully captured emotions here.
