State of constant confusion!

0 posted 2000-08-10 09:36 PM


As I drive away remembering
Words that you once said
And the same thought
Keeps running through my head
I don't want to leave you
But back to my home I go
I've been touched by an angel
And this is how I know

That first kiss in the park that night
Literally took my breath away
And when you said "Ilove you"
It was then my heart I gave
Holding to your hand so tight
Never wanting to let go
Yes, dear, I love you
And this is how I know

I don't understand these feelings
That are deep inside my heart
I just know that it's killing me
That we have to be apart
I don't have to be afraid
To let my feelings show
I can tell you anything
And this is how I know

I understand your reasons
And respect your every wish
When we are not together
I can still feel your gentle kiss
Though WE cannot be right now
I just want you to know
I will wait forever if I have to
And this is how I know

A lifetime of broken heartedness
Is worth just one glance into your eyes
Even though when we're apart
This heart inside me dies
I love you with all my being
And on my face I know it shows
Darling, I will always love you
Yes, this is how I know


Yes, My darling, This is how I know.

Sharon, Very haunting indeed, but what a lovely image to have haunting my mind

Sad, not really....I still get to see her now and then, the lonely times just help me appreciate those times when we are together

Oh my , oh my....the love bug most certainly has bitten Jeffery and it brings a smile to my face to read these lovely heartfelt words...although I'm wondering when the person to whom they are directed will be revealed to us

Tender devotion so nicely shared, Jeffrey... and the repeating refrain adds to its charm.
