Dear heart how are things today
I feel you inside of me beating
But it doesn't feel the same
I thought last night I heard you weeping

Do not weep heart of mine
Tomorrow might be a brighter day
I know why your heavy though
You want to speak...but your words were stolen away

You were not a fool
No crime did you commit
Only loved real and true
Your best you did submit

Now the feelings inside of you
Leave me so confused
I twist and turn all night long
Unsure as to what to do

I know you don't love her the same
Yet love still lives within
Rays of sunshine want to find you
But you aren't sure where to begin

Now you fear what you feel for another
I know you do not trust heart of mine
But be patient
And again, love you may find...in time

Hold onto the dream
It lives within the heartbeat of me
Casting eyes heavenward
I pray ever so silently


"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten
the words."

No, you were not a fool! That's right. These things grab us and take hold of our greatest vulmnerabilities...then leave us to sort it all out and still maintain some degree of sanity. I am glad your heart is still with you, though...mine I have had to let go for awhile. Once again----Well said!

Aims...this is beautiful. Especially 'your best you did submit...' Very true words there, girlie! Wonderfully expressed, my friend!

everytime I close my eyes, I see your face, I taste you on my lips...
every night I fantasize that I can feel you on my fingertips...

===================

seems to me the words are flowing and healing
at the same time...
beautiful sincere write Am...
the light and truth is shining in every verse
love the soft spoken theme of this...
the conversation with your heart
well done sweets
me

As sure as God made wine
you can't wrap your arms around a memory
In the dark for me
youre the candle flame that flickers to life

Very nice, but bittersweet. So sad, yet hopeful. The conflicting feelings show. Hearts are finicky creatures, no?
Beautiful writing.

Much love,

Dear Amy, things are good today
I know that you wonder about me
I know that things don't feel the same
But just follow me, I know the way. . .

Amy, never let go of the dream. . . dream it with every part of your being and your heart. . . hold it close to you. . . and never, ever, let it die. . .
