Earth 3rd Rock from the sun!!

tell me would you please?
is there friendship?
after intamacy?
for you I would get down
on my knees...
could there be?
i looked into your eyes
you set my soul at ease...
you are not like
all the others
tell me...
now that
we are lovers...
what would happen?
if it all fell apart
do you think
you could handle
us...
still being friends?
because i think...
there is something here
between us...
sweet like a
high school crush...
but baby
we grew up
we should know
not to rush...

and last night...
i emptied my soul
while you gazed at me
and you're afraid
you'll get to close
but you say...
you can't keep away...
i don't want you too..
i just want you...
and i pray
it never
grows old
and we don't
need to say
to have
and to hold...


i don't want to stay
so weary of you..
i want to be ready
for what ever may
come around
we're not sure
when to make that move
and we've got time
please don't say
those words too soon
ruin what could be
a good thing
one step
one minute
one embrace
one kiss
at a time
soothing our souls
remembering
how to be whole

and last night
i emptied my soul
while you gazed at me
and you're afraid
you'll get to close
but you say...
you can't keep away...
i don't want you too..
i just want you...
and i pray it never
grows old
and we don't
need to say
to have
and to hold

so i rested my head
i must have drifted off
i smelled you
so close to me
i felt you
touching my skin
so lightly
and i searched
for your shadow
and you reached
for my hand
trying to tell me
that you understand
shedding my skin
wearing my heart
outside
of my body
you saw it
in all
of it's shame
a heart that's played
too many foolish games
and i don't deserve you
but i believe
you know my soul
my mind
racing
like an anxious child
and you listen
getting to know
myself again
you erased
all of my pain
then you replaced it
with your warmth
and i don't want you
to keep away
i just want you
to hold you
to feel you
to need you
to breath you in
and i will pray
for us
that this
never
grows old...

(soft whispers)
you set my soul
at ease
you set my soul
at ease
you set my soul
at ease
(fading out...)

Wow~ sounds like you made a love connection last night. Hope you don't rush into things. Sounds like you are *trying* to be cautious. Again, WOW!

Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go.

Cuddlez~~actually...not too many "LOVE" connections in my recent history book....just alot of inspiration i guess...but let me tell you....this one IS a keeper!! even if we end up "just" friends...we are both going through things in our lives and i guess we are just what eachother needs right now.....we are just sort of enjoying the time we have right now....so enough about that,,,,before it turns into a BOOK!! thank you for reading and replying i am glad you liked it,,,,,

Mark~~yes i fall "IN LOVE" every second....just a damn sucker for romance I guess.......LOL   but I know how to separate the trash from the treasure I hope!!!   thank you for reading....

Julie...
        I feel the song in this!! What a great poem, and thought.  You did it again!!!


Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!
