Do you think that we might find the time- To have ourselves a talk? To set aside our differences- And maybe take a walk? Go back to the old park bench- To pleasant times it’s true... You took your pen, and on my hand- You wrote that “I love you”. Those days of youth are long since gone And as the roses fade- It seems our love has also waned- For our mistakes it’s paid. But still a spark is burning deep Within this heart of mine... And sometime, dear, within your eyes Those embers also shine. This world has far too little love- And has far too much hate- Why don’t we try to rescue ours- Before it grows too late? I’m sorry for the things I’ve said- The way I’ve treated you... Please bear in mind, my darling You’ve had your bad days too. Can’t we just bury all that trash- And start our romance o’er? For passing years, I greatly fear- Have made me love you more. I know that I have lied to you- Your faith in me is gone... But, honey, can’t we try again? I know that I was wrong. I’ll do the very best I can... I know I’m not a saint- Please understand, I’m what I am- I can’t be what I ain’t. |

Slinger - This is very, very nice. You am what you am and we all like it a lot. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Gunslinger, Once again you have captured something, wrote it eloquently yet with simple style and again blew my socks off with it. Your talent just amazes me! If you love me like music, I'll be your song. ~Heart~ Dreamboat Annie Shawna R. Holder Boise, Idaho |
