Poem
As we were driving down the road, it dawned on me just what I needed to do. I turned the radio down and said I want to go home I need to talk to you. And as we sat on the couch, a tear rolled down my face and you asked me what was wrong. I said it's not about what's wrong it's about what's right, and why were sitting here tonight. I took your hand and placed it on my chest and said can you feel it, my heart it's just like all the rest. You looked at me and said what do you mean? My dear, someone could love you more, much more than you could ever dream. It's not that I don't love you, my sweet I do just don't love you as much as I use to. It's not that I wasn't happy or because you made me cry...you have to believe me, I don't choose how I feel inside. You pulled your hand away and said that's enough. Then you feel to your knees and asked the lord above; why did this happen to me I love her so much. You asked me is there someone else, and what makes him better than who I am? I said, it's me there could be no other man. Then why do you act this way and why do you want to go. I need to find myself I just need to know. Know about what you yelled, I said who I am, and what I'm capable of, don't you understand. What if I don't want to understand, what if I don't want to hear; what if I held you close then maybe all of this will disappear. I said it won't change a thing and I've made up my mind I have to let you go there is so little time. You see I have dreams and I want them to come true, but you stopped me in my path as I did of you. I know you want a wife and a child of your own, but I want to sing, I want to write, I want a life of my own. You said I can change, I can be what ever you want me to be but please, please don't leave me. I said you are who you are and that is why I feel in love with you. You shouldn't change for me or for anyone else, even if you have someone or something to lose. You let me go and I walked out the door with out even knowing just what was in store. I got in the car and drove away I turned up the radio and listen to what it had to say...and a smile appeared on my face and my heart felt light, it was then that I remembered that song you sang that night. I remembered the way you stuttered, because you were so nervous, but you sang with your heart. and as the song ended it's like my mind drifted away and the word lingered on my lips "STAY."
