Sometimes I pray for a turn of the page if there's a chill on the air in the room. I hear small voices surface their rage but i'm hoping for a peace easy mood. Sometimes I ride on a heavenly cloud with the taste of your lips on mine. I don't want to be an angel myself but you're taking up all of my time. I know the feelings I've got them myself and we'll have to give them up in time. Someone hurt you and they hurt as well but you've got to stop losing my mind. If I'm not in love I know how it goes and I can't deny the past can be real. I'm not afraid for the work that we've done and I'll wait til your faith can be healed. Sometimes I see through your eyes and you're cold but I'm learning how to bring you up warm. I'm always willing to hear from your soul because the other man left your heart torn. I know there's times when it's so hard to see a heart on a limb in a forest of trees but I keep my vision, my eyes on the world I'm just saving a place for the other man's girl. Every night I can't breathe all alone since I've come to stay close to your side. The other forces we know how they go they're as soothing as oil at the time. Sometimes I wish for a miracle light and I wish that you'd let me come in. Sometimes I find that my thinking's not right and the truth is behind me again. But if I can revive the love that you hide I know your heart can make it again. I'm not beyond the bare truth in time and if it hurts me I'll understand. So if I'm not behind some hope in your mind there's a chance you're second guessing my best, cause I'm way beyond a mere compromise, someday I've got to put it to rest. Sometimes I hope for the better or worse somehow I'd like it if there was a plan But I'm still willing to wait out the curse because I'm nothing like the other man. Sometimes I feel that the caution's untrue sometimes I figure that I should rush in. But I know it's a game I could lose because I'm nothing like the other man. I know at times it's so hard to see a heart on a limb in a forest of trees but I keep my vision, my eyes on the world, I'm just saving a place for the other man's girl. Note: I'd like to extend a special thanks to Janet Marie for asking me to repost this work..I enjoyed writing it again.. |

I don't want to be an angel myself but you're taking up all of my time." There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

This certainly needs a boost in the right direction; would all men be this understanding, generous and compassionate... why, there wouldn't be any war... Karilea ~~~ Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |
