You'Re Way Back Home

It’s so extremely painful to keep holding on to you When I’m not sure you really want me to Yet it’s so extremely painful to let you go Just when I thought I had finally pushed through and moved on There you are in my life again I want to walk back to you slowly, yet there I am again running full steam ahead You take the time, the precious moments, to make it all so blissful and feel right Then I hear nothing from you and I’m left crying deep within the lonely nights This thing we call love is all so damn confusing I’m in love with you and only you even more than words can say I’ve felt your touch, heard your voice, and had you here with me although you’re so far away There are miles that separate us, but I don’t really care I do would about anything to get to you if you really wanted me there I’m not asking you to take me back tomorrow, or even the day after that I’m not asking you to ask me to marry you in the near future I would, however, be lying if I said I didn’t hope for these things I expect nothing at all from you Just cause I feel this way don’t mean you feel it for me to But I’m asking for a chance to prove to you this is how I feel I’m asking for the chance to show you what love really is and all I have in my heart is real It’s never to late to try You have to sometimes let your heart fall You have to let go and love It’s the only way to find whom it is you seek to spend your life with You’re my sunset, and my sunrise You’re that endless twinkle in my eyes You’re my candle blowing in the wind You’re my full moon that hangs over all I am in that far off mist But I think, for now, I must once again painfully try to leave you alone You must try now to find you’re way back to me with open arms You have to find you’re way back home

I too was over eager to please. I found out that by backing off, I became instantly desireable. Maintaining a need is hard, especially when you have so much to give. But being available to the extreme isn't good either. Play him like a fine toothed comb dear. He/she will miss your love.-AA
