If I were going to need you I’d listen every time I heard you breathe into my ear the sound would be sunshine I’d treasure every little word and keep them locked somewhere with silk and lace forget-me-nots pressed in a book of dare And if you said how much you cared I’d hold each tender word and find my heaving need for them by vision that is blurred If I were going to need you how would I let you know oh dance across the sky I would and shine each night love’s glow But you know I don’t need you my heart is so secure it never flutters with midnight in places that you stir It doesn’t giggle at your jokes nor feel your heated sighs and never will it break apart if time took you to fly So I am fine my heart intact and yes, I feel sublime so please don’t read between the lines and look for little signs If I were going to need you |

Martie, sensitive and rhyming. Wow a double bonus. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Martie, beautiful lovely verse. My view stretches out from the fence to the wall No words could explain, no actions determine Just watching the trees and the leaves as they fall:Joy divison [This message has been edited by brian madden (edited 09-21-2000).] |
