I made a mistake
I spoke out of turn
And in doing so lost you
What you dont understand
And I'm not sure I can explain
Is the fear that I felt
And the need for understanding
I needed to know
It was right to go on
That I was more than a dream
That a future could be ours
I asked the wrong question
I asked the wrong voice
I never betrayed you
Even though you feel I have
I went to a friend
For help and advice
I guess I was wrong
But in making that choice
I learned that we had
A promise we could keep
Now its up to you
To forgive the fear
To forgive the misunderstanding
And remember the love that took us this far
Dont throw it away
Without even a word
Dont say goodbye

Oh Paula this is raw with emotion, and very very good. Follow your dream is all I can say, because if you don't you'll never know.
Look after yourself, and remember to smile.

Paula...this piece aches with the regret of
good intentions turned to ashes...I know how
much this can hurt and I'm sorry that you
are feeling it now, I'm sure that in the end
your heart will speak for itself~

Paula-A seed for thought was planted, it may not have grown the way it was expected to, but I believe something good will come your way for you having expressed your feelings honestly and from your heart. Take care.

Paula I like it when you speak from your heart.
I was talking to a close friend of mine and we are considering boyfriend and girlfriend so anyway I was telling her something from my heart and she was going wait a minute and I told her I want to know right now if I can feel free to express my true feelings around you...because that is who I am...
It reminded me of two people living in a marriage where one who had fallen out of Love and was having an affair on the side.
And rather than accept the truth that love no longer exists they both hold onto the marriage for the wrong reasons.  Extreme example...but I don't like living in lies and deception.
Looking for a woman that is honest and open with her feelings...love to communicate and learn who they are and what they are honestly thinking.
Anyway, your absolutely right...you are asking for his forgiveness and there will come a day when he will need yours...that is what a relationship is about...give and take...hoping for the best for you...James

Sudhir...well I dont have a problem saying I am wrong...

Marsha...I am following my heart and that is where my dream lies

Holly...all I can do is try and keep saying I am sorry.

Gemini...thank you...your words kept my mind where it should be today

James...I always speak from my heart...not always the wise thing to do but its the only way I know how to be. It does scare some people but if you are honest with how you feel then they should accept that. If they cant then maybe thats not the person for you. You are a sweet loving man and it shows in everything you write. There is a woman who will understand and love you...Thank you my friend for all you have done.
