Mixed Emotions I don't want to want you the way that I want you. I don't want to love you as much as I do. I don't want to need you, but I really need to. My only comfort is you need me, too. In love with you, babe, is not how I should be. My head is saying that we ought to part, But I can't do it. Oh baby, you must see My head is subject to my heart. Hundreds of thoughts and feelings are swirling. If I were wise, I know I would run, But I remember how you set met twirling, Dancing with breeze and face to the sun. To have your heart from another is stealing. To give you mine I know is a sin. I just can't see how to get past this feeling, So I keep fighting a fight I can't win. Still, I believe there is hope for tomorrow, That we will be with each other some day, And, though I know it might bring me to sorrow, I love, want and need you in every way. |

Marge - That is exactly how I heard this in my head, as a country song - odd, since I am a classical musician. This was an answer to a challenge from a friend, and it's just how it came out. Jon - The heart can be a difficult organ to deal with, but we romantics just have to follow our hearts, don't we? pegasus - You are exactly right. Nothing is so attractive as what we are not supposed to have, is it? Thanks to all of you for reading and replying. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Sad but nonetheless a great read.  "I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust." I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

Kaile - Thanks. I suppose much of we write is partly autobiographical, but this also was written as an answer to a challenge, and things came out a bit more mixed than they really are. Actually, this was written in the laundromat, and they tend to play country music.. maybe influenced me a bit. Vicky - I'm glad you found it, too, but hope you don't relate too much! Your comments always mean a lot to me. Thanks, and hugs To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |
