Loving You 2010
In High School
I only wanted
a friend and girlfriend
to walk with, talk with,
run with, play with
hug and kiss.
In College
My love for you was again set aflame
through thoughts and words
I tried to express
a love and desire
I’ve never known for anyone else,
a love, an ideal
which consumed my mind,
but, one that only served
to pressure you and scare you away
again.
In ‘87
I desperately needed
an intimate relationship
to prove I was able
to love and
to know someone wanted
to love me.
I felt the huge hole in my heart
could only be filled
by you and your love,
and when I hesitated,
I lost your love again,
I lost myself again,
and I was thrust back
into a life void of love.
Now
that you’ve told me
your love for me is real,
I cry happy tears
and sad
depending on where
and how you are.
A whole new and I suppose
final chapter is being performed
in our life long play
of the heart,
two hearts that sing when together
and cry when apart…
May our loving dance
across the floor of time
continue forever.
2010
