Unable    (to Louie with love)

I sleep alone
as does he
and his arms promises
such ecstasy

I hold back when
wanting to reach out
to know his total touch
unable, with my life revolving about

I have to learn to love me first
before I can love another
answering the questions of my heart
before I can ask any other

so till then,  I sleep alone
as does he
he tells me to take my time
while he waits to see

"I have already paid for all my future sins."  Sade...(King of Sorrow)

*sigh* how incredibly beautiful. Love is something that is so very selfless and he is showing true love. I hope all works out to fill both of your nights with the love you so desire. Very well written and filled with tender feelings.  

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

You have found the key, Helen.  We must love ourselves before we can truly love another.  Excellent work!

Yes, Time . . . your precious Time, even when alone.
