First Date Eve

Right now you are an image I try to focus in my head, but I just keep remembering all phone things we have said. So, I’m just a wondering where I’m being led, is this romantic lightness or something to dread? It all lies before us now, a clean slate of time. There are no injuries, no scars, no hurts of yours or mine. So, as your face again fades and I think of plans we’ve made, I sink into my pillow wondering if good dreams will be played. What of this heart of mine, should I put it on trial? Should I allow pain in so I might have the smile? I guess where I have been and where I have still to go will somehow trip land within all things love that I don’t know … Don’t know if I wanna go where I’m not sure I’m going. Don’t know if the unknown is something I should be knowing. Don’t know what I’m looking for when I answer my own door. I’ve twirled thru all shades of losing as they paled my heart sore.

I feel the hesitation in your words CayCay, but I'm afraid for some of us, love is pain. Your words are thought provoking.

Hi CayCay...you've had your fair share of sour experiences, and it's understandable that taking another important step in life is not going to be easy. But do not dwell too much on the past...look to the future...follow your heart whilst keeping an open mind. Wishing you all the best:) Regards // paul

Caycay , knowing YOUR mind set right now, I totally get this one as well and it's very heartfelt, dear. I especially like the last verse and the way you put all those unanswered questions before you. BTW, do you mean so at the very end instead of Sore?
