I'll Take The Long Way Home What a short time but it was oh so sweet Never felt so much power in just a simple belief And, how I remember the way the wind called out your name I smile to the sky in assurance that I could feel you the same... Oh and the days were as pleasant as the morning sun Never felt so much warmth come from anyone And, how I remember the way the rain brought me to you I'd smile to the sky in assurance that I could feel you too... So, Now, I go back and I try to live the only way I knew best But, never does the sky above have a single day to rest Cause always you look up and always you see it there And, through any number of miles you'll find it everywhere... Tonight, I will hold onto the wind once again And, smile to the sky as I ask to be there with my friend This time I don't want to remember just one memory I've known Cause tonight I'm taking the long way home... I want to remember the first time I heard I'll love you forever And, evertime you've told me it is our journey together And, oh how the days and nights I've lived for you and you alone So, tonight, feel me, I'm taking the long way home... I close my eyes in the feeling the first time I saw your face And, walking down and toward you, I knew I found my place It was all that I knew was just the way I should walk God I sigh to the many of memories of the hours we've talked... I don't want to forget the first time I learned to really dream And, how you placed the darkest night before me What a feeling I remember of not being alone So, understand if I happen to take the long way home... So, forever I'll hold onto the dreams that I felt your touch Couldn't find anything to compare to that I loved as much No greater way to calmness when on my shoulder's your hand I was carried, so safely, to a better land... I don't ever want to leave from here not now not ever Let me live in the memories now and forever Now, this time I don't want to remember just one memory we've known Cause, I love you now and forever on this long way home..

To anyone who reads this poem...I don't know how to reach all of you. Please do not feel that I am rude. I am new at this site and I'm trying to keep up with the newest ones being written as well as the ones before that and I'm kinda slow. If I don't get to anyone right away, I'm sorry, I'm not being rude. I will get to read them all...thanks for understanding. Man, how do you all keep up? It's busy but fun and a great place to be.
