I am reposting this as a book submission at the request of a friend. Hope you all dont mind. He laughs as she runs, screaming, from the frog gripped in his hands And chases after her across the schoolyard Until she lets him catch up to her... I want to be loved like that. With trembling fingers he pins the flower to her dress, Then grins at her fathers frown, as he snaps a picture And a blush stains her cheeks a delicate pink... I want to be loved like that. He clears his throat as he places the ring on her finger And swears his undying love in front of his friends As tears run down her cheeks for the faith he is expressing... I want to be loved like that. His heart races and his hands tremble The first moment he holds his newborn son And she gazes tenderly at him through pain weary eyes... I want to be loved like that. He comes home, exhausted worn Too many heartaches, too many cares And she kisses the fears away... I want to be loved like that. He tenderly brushes silvered hair from her face And places a kiss on her upturned lips She smiles and gently squeezes age worn hands... I want to be loved like that. He gently places one last rose on the winter hard ground Then stumbles from this empty place As she watches him from heavens gate...waiting... I want to be loved like that. never say never |

it's supposed to be like that, I heard. I wonder if that happens anymore. Thanks for posting again, maybe it will serve as a reminder that it's the way it's supposed to be. |
