Could it be, that life now has a meaning?
Could it be, I have met my counterpart?
Is it real, or will I wake from dreaming?
And will such cruel illusions break my heart?

Is she real, the woman I am seeking?
Does she, did she, could this girl exist?
All her kindness, gentle understanding-
Are things I find that I cannot resist.

If I dream, I beg you, don't awaken...
For 'tis heaven that I now experience...
Now at last, romance my heart has taken...
And I'll never willingly depart from hence.

Could it be, I do not have the answer...
I suppose that time will tell the tale.
But I wonder if my life will be worth living-
If in this, like in the past, I fail?

Hi cowboy!!
Good to hear there is a lady in your life..
Always go after what you really want...
If it is meant to be...she will be waiting.

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back

Well, I hope its real for you. Dreams are all well and good, but the real thing is so much nicer. Well written.

From one gunslinger to the original Gunslinger I say get back on that pony and ride!  What a shame to not put it on the table when one devotes the same time to the same feelings you do.  I took my wife horseback riding on our first "blind" date and we've been together ever since.  We both had been really hurt in our previous relationships.  She was going through a divorce and was raising her son on her own.  I got the best reward in my life for taking a chance...a wife and a son.  Now, years later, I have two sons.  I would have taken the risk over and over again.  It is well worth the risk.  I wish you tons of luck my friend.

P.S. - I'll be slingin' tonight.  Hog huntin'!  I can almost taste the meat!  God bless this Texas countryside.

In solidarity,

Kevin
