THE WAITING


I wonder how she will do this,
Perhaps within a letter.
Maybe even a lipstick kiss
Just so I will feel better.

Maybe it'll come by email,
Or even I.C.Q..
Either way I know without fail,
There'll be no "I love you".

Is there even the slightest chance
She'll grant me a phone call.
Or will I forever in darkness dance
Never hearing from her at all?

Why does she stand so distant,
It really won't be a surprise.
She won't find me resistant,
She's already told me with her eyes.

Maybe she just hopes I'll go away,
Maybe she don't know where to start.
So I'm left to wonder how will she say
The words to break my heart.

It just amazes me how you and everyone else for that matter can see into the future...and you all can predict just what I'm gonna do and say.  It's funny...I've never seen so many people be ruled by their emotions.  Emotions are the ONE thing in life you can't count on - and so many pave the roads of their lives by the very emotion that keeps them so torn up all the time.  I read the comment you mentioned, and I'm baffled.  I thought she and I were friends.  I wonder what went wrong, after all the times I stood up for her in Adult?  Funny...there again, a stranger knows my every move before I make it...you people must be psychic.  ROFLMAO     I too, will say no more.  Thanks for your reply to her...couldn't have said it better myself.

Beautiful poetry Michael.  Take a tip from me...you have to be strong thru all of this. Your strengh comes from yourself and of course your friends.  Your fate will come to you and you will accept it with open arms.  All you can do at this moment is to allow someone the opportunity to love you, or be your friend, or reject you.  That is not in your control.  I have fallen in love with many women and most only offered friendship in return.  I graciousely accepted their offer so I could share part of my life with them.  Sorry I'm acting like a know it all..this is just my opinion.   James

another perfect poem Michael...very good work as always...I like the use of all the different forms of contact,and the emotions expressed here are sadly beautiful.
take care, janet marie

 In the time we've known
That we each are a part of one another
We've lost as much as we have won...
And as our lives have grown
We have found that it only brings us pain
To hang on to the things that we have done...
***Still I love the times you've come***

Michael...this is so very sad   Sometimes the waiting is the worst part...the silence can be deafening at times.

You can't predict the future Michael. . . say it again OUT LOUD. . . I CANNOT PREDICT THE FUTURE!!

I know this, because I have done it myself several times. . . tried to know what others would do. . . making myself crazy and getting upset. . . and then feeling hurt and angry. . .I'm doing it right now. . . trying to figure out how it's all going to work. . . I CAN'T DO IT!!!

I'm just a man Michael. . . and so are you. . . we're not psychic. . . so why do we try to be?  

What will happen will happen. . .hopefully for the better. . . but you don't know. . . let go Michael. . . and wait. . . I know that the waiting is hard, but it's all that you can do right now. . . and me. . . so often we try to control the things that we can't. . . I hate that!!  I want to be in control. . .but that's not the way that it works. . . if it did. . . well. . .who knows?

Be strong Michael. . . the answer will come soon. . .I know it. . .

Indeed sad. But we all must wait for "our"
time. I'm sure yours is nearer than you think   Good one as always.
