A Matter of Time

If you were to inquire
what happened to us two
I would say I tired of
begging for time with you.

For if I have to
beg for a kiss
the quality is gone
and the value is missed.

Why would you make
me beg for your time?
All my time was yours
but your time was not mine.

hey james.. a suggestion?
read this to yourself with the last line changed to
"but you're not mine."

and tell me what you think about the flow as well as the meaning..does it change it too much?

I really like this. I know how this feels.

Thank you Cpat and the loner for responding...
Cpat the flow sounds so much better but it would change the meaning for me...this is a sensitive situation for me...James

Yes, one does get tired of feeling like they have to beg for affection, or even just to get noticed at all.  How true your words are here...

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy soul, and let the magik happen!  ~~S~~
