(For you, my sweet Joanna, who I love like the heavens and miss you with all my heart! )

Without You
By: Noah Eaton
10/16/02

I think I feel really scared now
I hope you still have faith in me
I cried last night thinking of you again
Wondering what you’re thinking
Wondering how much you dream of me

I think I feel your hand slipping from mine
I hold your poems you wrote for me close hearing your whispers
I felt like your love for me was like Disney’s Magic Kingdom
But now it seems
I can’t be sure

I think I’m lovesick
I need your bluebird song
I’m filled with insomnia
I’ve stayed up so long
To wait patiently
For your love to speak on and on
Sometimes I worry I worry too much
But I can’t help it when you’re gone

You’re one of a kind
I love you more than anything
There are butterflies in my stomach
But without you they’re suffocating
You’re one of a kind
I want you here with me
With me
There’s this great empty space
In my heart
Without you

I think sometimes I’m over-reacting
So I tell myself there must be a logical explanation
For why I miss your love so much
Why sometimes I don’t feel the sensation

I want to be your passionate shepherd
Make you beds of roses and sing you madrigals
Show you a classic romance lost in Christopher Marlowes’ words
Rock-a-bye your beating heart to the cries of seagulls

I think I’m lovesick
I need your bluebird song
I’m filled with insomnia
I’ve stayed up so long
To wait patiently
For your love to speak on and on
Sometimes I worry I worry too much
But I can’t help it when you’re gone

You’re one of a kind
I love you more than anything
There are butterflies in my stomach
But without you they’re suffocating
You’re one of a kind
I want you here with me
With me
There’s this great empty space
In my heart
Without you

Kiss these tears away, my love
I will kiss all your pain away
Kiss these tears away…

I think I’m lovesick
I need your bluebird song
I’m filled with insomnia
I’ve stayed up so long
To wait patiently
For your love to speak on and on
Sometimes I worry I worry too much
But I can’t help it when you’re gone

You’re one of a kind
I love you more than anything
There are butterflies in my stomach
But without you they’re suffocating
You’re one of a kind
I want you here with me
With me
There’s this great empty space
In my heart
Without you
Without you…
Without you…

Noah,
Patience. And courage. Lovely write.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

OOOOHHHH..dear sweet Noah. this is SOOOOOOO sweet. I'm so sorry that you're feeling this way. I know, though, how these feelings of doubt and fear sometimes come around when you don't see your "TRUE LOVE" every day. I've got a poem written that I've put off posting yet about my own doubts and fears. My Gary gets very upset with me when I start feeling like this, though, because I'm the one who has been delaying our marriage. I truly hope that everything works out for you and your Joanna. Thanks for sharing your heart with us, sweet Noah.
With Love To All,
Ethel

Noah,
I can only comment on your writing and the coment is excellent. Joanna is an extention of your mind and that is the place you deal with it. My friendship remains.

Noah, all the beautiful poems you have written to Joanna would make a lovely book on love---the highs the lows, the ups the downs---the surrounds and all arounds. You are an angel poet. God gave you a very special gift.

Noah: the poem is precious and full of your special love...wonderful writing!
I want to remind you to TRUST the Lord who is in charge of this and all aspects of your life. and He says he only has your best interests at heart. I too am on the edge with my loved one, but for different reasons, perhaps...
It is awful to feel like loss is in your stars...but do pray and I sure am for you. take care and trust...
I will be thinking of you and in my prayers,
love, Cher

Poetry is:
Passion, imagination and intellect running together.

filled with fear and love, doubt and joy.

hope that you and Joanna share a lifetime
of love! she really is one lucky girl.
take care.
