JOE

All those year ago…
All I ever wanted was to hear you say my name
We would be together

I would watch you from the side lines as you played
High School Football, Basketball & Baseball
I was your biggest cheer-leader

You didn’t see me
In school….

We would skip 5th period and meet
In the local cemetery
Hand in hand, arm in arm

We would kiss
And explore our bodies
So cold in the NY snow
But feverishly hot for love

You were my first…

We would meet every other day
No one new…just me and you
I wasn’t ‘In’ your crowd

I can’t even remember when
I stopped believing in You

Now 17 years later, you say
I love you, I need you
I was stupid and naive
You are the best thing that ever happened to me…

Games…games…
Still playing those games

"Happiness is a state of your own mind!"

We never get too old for the games, do we?

Games can be fun when you are in control of the ball! Actually, I played a few when I was a teenager, but having all grown up, I prefer to be straightforward in my relationships. I don't have the desire to play those love games anymore!
May your heart forever be safe ~ and cherished!

Games are deceiving sometimes.
Hope things are OK and I thank you for sharing these intimate thoughts.
