Eric Boddie Poet Couplet

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

Kp Nunez November 17, 2015 at 6:49 AM Great for any lyric...Very nice expression of a man's sentiments, Eric. :-) Eric Boddie December 5, 2015 at 11:54 AM thank you kim....people should know that a man doesn't have to be soft to be sensitive and respectful to God's Greatest Beauty, woman herself....;)

Casarah Nance November 16, 2015 at 7:56 AM 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. Eric Boddie December 5, 2015 at 11:52 AM thank you casarah....if we fight hard then we will make it....;)

Eve Roper November 13, 2015 at 6:58 PM 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 Eric Boddie December 5, 2015 at 11:48 AM thanks eve....I feel that if it is easy then there is no way for it to last because it cant get stronger....;)

Kim Shaw November 13, 2015 at 3:10 PM 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 Eric Boddie December 5, 2015 at 11:47 AM thanks kim and that is what Love does....and so much more....;)

Feli Elizab November 11, 2015 at 4:46 PM 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. Eric Boddie December 5, 2015 at 11:44 AM a friend was having relationship problems and asked me to write this....but I am glad you enjoyed it Felicia....;)
