You can count on Me

God please shower your blessings
down on me
as you have done so many
times before
because I really truly honestly
don't want to be alone anymore.

This time it will be different
I promise I won't screw up like
I've done everytime before
because I really truly honestly
don't want to be alone anymore.

I'll be the good guy
you just watch and see
and soon enough you'll laugh and smile
knowing you can count on me.

Please don't judge me by my past
all those times I chased them out the door
cause I really truly honestly
don't want to be alone anymore.

Every problem has a solution
and in this case it's me
cause now I promise to work
out every disagreement
between my sweetheart and me.

In fact I would even stick around forever
if we could only agree
that two can share so much more
and together we will never
be alone anymore
cause she can count on me.

James, As I read this I felt the tears well up in my eyes. I know the feeling well my friend. Just remember that one day you will find love again and when you do these times will make you appreciate it that much more

James, "I really truly honestly" felt the sincerity with which you wrote this piece...your heart is true, my friend. Take care of it.

James,
I sense through what you have written that your words are true. And may you become empty of the loniness that you must feel.

Thank you Jeffrey, Claire, Sudhir, Bill, Marina, Butterfly, and Lone Wolf for your wonderful responses.  The responses reminded me of a beautiful song called "Our Day will Come".  It goes something like this.."Our Day will come when we'll have everything...we'll find the joy that falling in love can bring."  I am waiting for that beautiful day...the key words "OUR" and "WE"...James
