Sleeping, sleeping
Gently sleeping
My only defence from
Weeping, weeping

Weeping for a love
I never had to lose
Weeping over decisions
I never got to choose

Weeping for my future
And for the darkest past
Weeping, weeping, weeping
How long can weeping last?

Weeping for my family
And they don't even know
Weeping for lost friendships
That never got to grow

Weeping for those in need
That I'll probably never see
The only release from this
Is hidden in my dreams

Weeping, weeping
Always weeping
Unless I'm sleeping
Gently sleeping

Oh, little LoveBug~
Hon ... a hug is in order.
HUG

Why do you weep so?
E-mail me if you need.

noles1@totcon.com

You spread smiles to others ...
keep one for yourself.  
You have plenty to smile over !
Write me if you need to talk to someone.
I love you.
