I wish I could love you
Though I run scared
When attraction grows
and daydreams whisper
Of rings and things

I should feel easy in your arms
Not thoughts of capture
There is thrill in your kiss
Though the tug of freedom
is stronger

I wish I could love you
Surrender to your longing
Engage in your desires
But far horizons beckon
So maybe tomorrow.

Something for one to look forward to on one hand while the other says, "why wait"? Tomorrow is promised to no one.

That is exactly how I felt and reacted in my young years ... so I understand very well. You expressed your sentiments gently and yet, if this is real, the suffering on the other side can't be avoided.

... then tomorrow comes the day when you - maybe - will put love on the top and "freedom" at the second place of the wish list.


Much enjoyed.

To be honest I as trying to let the girl down easy because I wasn’t in the relationship for the long haul. I never intended to marry before thirty and didn’t, there is so much to do in life and you only get one chance.

Thanks for reading.

Cari - The learned say there is a yearning in the human spirit that rebels against being chained or tied down until it's ready to be so, like 'maybe tomorrow' but just not today. Human beings! You gotta love 'em! Nice work to muse on. Enjoyed. Namyh

Some well observed truth in this that chimes with my own, maybe everyone's experience, enjoyed the read.
Thanks
Pete
