Cupid's Arrow

So much left unsaid...
stung by cupid's arrow
wait in a lonely bed,
its hard here ya know

His bed was nice and cozy
while you're off to finish war
I had to be touched baby
and there might be more in store

yearning to be angry
when there's nothing you can do
hoping its okay to be free
when i can't get close to you

but if I know you at all
your laughing purely proud
saying, "take this time and have a ball
live your life out loud.

Cause when I return, it's to stay,
and the others have to go,
my love is never too far away
remember... its hard here too, ya know?"

Inspired by my best friend Micah and his Wife... 
its what they chose to do while still dating...

It was kind of Micah to allow his then girlfriend to have some freedom while he was away. He must have had a lot of self-confidence. Most people would have a hard time with this, but it seems like he was being realistic in his expectations. Glad to hear they are now happily married! Nice work, Richard. Love, Carolyn
