i promised you,
i wouldnt get so attached,
or be a weepy girl when you left last time,
not wonder why the phone is even there,
not see you in every sunset,
not want to scream your name
in the middle of the night
not want to die in your arms,
i promised , i promised
id just let this be,
our  every other full moon fantasy,
no ties,no expectations,no promises,
but lately, hon
im feeling like a fly  by night romp,
and
id like to smack your face right now...........

potent and conflicted feeling shown... often it is not as simple as we would like..and detachment is not always an easy thing to maintain...

THANKS,im also dangerous with a pot of spaghetti...
cpt....yes, this whole detachment thing, is easy to read about by the zen masters of zillions of years ago, but down here on earth, its kind of hard to detach when you love, as far as the saying "whenyou love someone, set them free".i think thats crap..
im not saying lock them up, but why would you want something to leave that you love, doesnt make sense........gotta be a blend

well, I can relate, and I don't like to admit that, but yes, I've had my share of those.

funny how we make those promises with all the best intentions..and then, there's that heart again!!--always enjoy your honest, "in-your-face" writes!

inkgoddess,
I can' see where you're coming from and I can relate but it made for such good reading.

smiling, I especially liked the I want to smack your face part....hehe~! If only we could zen-zap and react as we wish we would and not as we do, or something like that. Our emotions are not that easy to dictate...anyway I know mine aren't *S*  Enjoyed~MUCHO~!
