Trying to Understand Jackie Jackie give me a clue. If I were to fall in love with you would it matter? A yes or no will to do. I admit at first I didn't see your beauty. So we got off to a slow start. But after I got my appreciation going it didn't take you long to win a place within my heart. Those were beautiful days we spent together. Why did you choose for them to end and why do I want them to last forever? I have so many things to say and so little time in which to enjoy your company. You're making it really hard to live my dreams and messin up my self esteem. Sometimes I feel like a scared rabbit being chased everywhere by a bear. Is this the price I must pay because I choose to care? Why have I found tears in my eyes? Why do I see so many cloudy skies? Emotionally I've seen better days. Am I broken hearted? No, I'll be fine. Am I glad we parted? Have you lost your mind. Will I be alright? Sometimes I get lonely in the middle of the night. Will she be coming back to me? I certainly hope so because I love her company. Feel like I don't know what to say or do. So I will do as she say's even if it means being lonely in the middle of the night. If it's impossible to please you in my presence perhaps I can in my absentee. You know exactly where I am anyway and you still possess my key. And even though time and space have come between us they control not our destiny. I told you ten times that I miss you. So if you miss me just one minute don't waste another minute missing me when you could be spending time hugging and kissing me. That's the Jackie I understand and the reason I want to be your man. And I'm still unable to imagine which selection of my affection delivered these tarnished golden days my way. Whatever you're in the process of doing to me it's not working. I feel like I'm falling in Love with you. And I still don't have a clue to understanding Jackie. Jameslee@December20,2000 HahaImessedupbadtypingthisinthe middleofthenightandnowit'sright.

Thanks so much Cassandra, Paula and Victoria. I had to do a major edit on this one..I had everything written down beautifully and I kept falling asleep at the keyboard and typing the same line two and three times and skipping over lines and when I read this the next day I'm thinking who the heck wrote this...it wasn't me...so I have edited and this is the correct version. |

When you find the right person and you both truly "connect"...you both will know. That is the best of the best, so remember not to settle for less. btw, great expression in your poem. Deb |
