Summer came and went that year Nothing much to tell about All that's left now is an ocean of salty tears And you told me you were in the ninth door down Stop by if I was ever back in town You said you'd think about me everyday I guess life doesn't always work that way And if I'd known then what I know now I would have tried to make it work somehow 'Cause you were my lover my friend and my confidant My friends would ask me What more I could possibly want And like a child with a worn out toy I went in search of a differnet boy A life I found, a wife I became A mother of two and still missing you I wonder where I'd be if I stayed In the ninth door down And I remember the poetry you'd write to me And I wonder if you still have our special key I wonder if you still believe And think of me It's been so long that I've been away My first love i've thought of you every day And you told me you were in the Nith door down Stop by if I was ever back in town You didn't think I'd be gone so long Sometimes what seems right can be painfully wrong And I'm still waiting by the ninth door down< !signature--> Julie [This message has been edited by JulieAnn (edited 08-10-2000).] |

Julie- Our first love is always the one we will not forget. The thought of regret in ones choices can hold one back from the pleasures in life and if and when we get that chance to recapture what we thought we had it often destroys the memories of fondness we carry around. I know from experience on this one. Never doubt your decisions.....just make the best of tomorrow. Great write.(psst....check your title) |

it doesn't sound to me like there's nothing left to tell about from that summer... you can't go back in time but maybe you should retrace your steps this must be a song? great writing girl! Tony |

This is beautiful Julie! We could spend forever pondering the might-have-beens. --You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- |
