you pause
breathing silence
then quietly
you make your request
taking me off-guard

"dont give up on me..."

i find it hard to give up
on the people in my life--
i'll not give up on you
i have faith in you...
    but
i'll not wait too long
    for love...
i know
    the right love
    will one day find me
but i must be in the right place
lest i miss my cue
and have to wait
until love comes around again...

please dont ask me
to stand still...
its something i wont ask
    my heart to do again...

i'll be here
when you call for me
but i'll not chase you--
love
wouldnt ask that of me...

Dear, thanks for sharing this!! It's really some kind of wake up call for me too... I guess I have to move on with life, coz it's useless to mope around and think of things that could've happened...

"i must be in the right place
lest i miss my cue
and have to wait
until love comes around again..."

"i'll be here
when you call for me
but i'll not chase you--
love
wouldnt ask that of me..."

And I totally agree with the last bit there.

Be blessed!

Loved that ending, dg! Don't chase it, and don't sit and wait, but be ready to catch it when it bumps into you again.

This is lovely.  It reminds me of the early days of my relationship with my new hubby.  It took him a while to realize what I knew from the beginning...that we were meant to be.  I bided my time, pursued other interests, but didn't give chase.  And we all know our story had a happy ending.  Hope it works out for you as well!

Very sweet. Love does have a way of surprising us, though. Sometimes, when you least expect it, it is already there. I hope you find your love. *BIG HUGS*

*sigh* This one struck me in a few different ways. I love the feeling behind it..and the resolve.  

Your storm of assumption feeds anger I am calm enough to hold inside. Don't pretend to know me if you've never put stretched out your heart with since
