THE RIVER:

When at first we met I thought
I cannot allow another near
It took two weeks working through the hurt
Confusing, sometimes times of fear
Thought not without extreme faith and love
I saw you here and always enough

Growing responsibility
For you, and you, and you; me
If you knew this mind I seek
You'd turn, hurt, once retreat

Taught, stretched, an elastic band
My mind, far beyond capacity
Or so it seems.  Task in hand
Fighting it for liberty

I wandered by a river
On my way home today
And saw the life of flowing
Past the present, its own way

And me I'm left here
And long to have you near
You'd be disappointed if you knew the river flows
Away from me, away from here, without me

The river goes.

 "Falling in love is just that - falling.
Sometimes you merely trip and stub your toe.
Sometimes you fall to your hands and knees.
But sometimes you smack your head against the pavement and die."
