The Pursuit

Where is it now that I put my heart The last time I took a break from love I remembered thinking I wouldn’t need it for awhile So I put it in a place high above I feel so silly now I mean it’s so important And I knew I would need it again But I was trying to be logical And I wasn’t ready With my heart to contend I don’t know, maybe it’s a sign And I’ll just leave it hidden away It’d be so much easier if that dreamy voice Wasn’t always purposed my way Gosh if only you knew Dag gone I bet you do How when you lean in close for affect The breath of your whispers Leave me completely unglued When they gently caress my neck Oh men! I can’t stand ‘em See that squint in my eye And my nose pointed up in the air My arms are folded and I’m quite determined Then you turn and catch my stare Oh Geez! I used to be much better at this You ask for my number to phone I give it to you willingly But for three days I Will Not Be Home!

"The breath of your whispers leave me completely unglued." Cracked me up. Maybe you were being serious, Laurie, but if so I like your unconscious sense of humor. Love, daver

This one gave me a chuckle this morning! Men... can't live with them, can't live without them! haha I loved this one, the 4th stanza really got me though (these men, they know exactly what they're doing! haha) and the way you ended it was just perfect! Awesome write! :) Love, Amy

Ha ha! I used to do that not being home/very busy thing - with my husband - so I guess it worked! This is too awesome! Love, Shar

This one gave me a chuckle, even as frustating as it makes the subject...the 2nd guessing, the (wondering if it's worth it?) attitude!! Puts a smile on my face! Great job, Laurie!~ love, Carrie
