(written for someone else)


I fell for love
Seeking that which you
     Did not offer
My head knew better
But my heart wouldn’t listen
My mind reeled
Leading my heart to
     Need you
Only to hold you
Only to keep you near
My love runs deep
     Even in friendship
Bubbling from the pith of me
How could I have known
That with your freedom
My heart would confuse and shake me…
How can I ask forgiveness for this mistake
Please
     Please know
This fear of loss
     Keeps me holding even tighter;
Don’t go so completely from me…
My friend, I need you
     As you were before—
          I ask nothing else…
But this,
Please forgive my fall…

Yep...you know that I know this...perhaps not the
same circumstances...but I do remember the place...
and I'm glad it's only a memory...

Of course, I love this...as I do everything you write.

Love you...miss you...

love of power the world will know peace.
