Too Much Pride (Self Discovery)

2 of us together
always and forever

Loving you as days go by
never having a reason to cry

no more sorrow 
no more pain

nothing to lose
everything to gain

my friends they warn me
they say that he's wild
"listen you guys...i'm not a child"

we go to the movies
and then to the park,
that's when i notice
it's gotten very dark.

he says that he loves me...
there is nothing to fear.

Sweet Jesus help me...
he is getting too near!

all that i have is my friends and my pride,
and i am not afraid of the feelings that I hide!!!

Kissing and hugging is all that i allow...

i have too much pride to waste EVERYTHING now!!!!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
