What happens when he
makes you laugh even when
you don’t want to and what happens
when he can look you in the eyes
and not walk away afterwards
what happens when you want to hold
on to him and run away at the same
time can you tell me what happens
when you do your best to push him away
and he holds you tighter which is what
you and he knew you needed all along
what happens.....

Is it possible to be crazy and
consider him yours is it possible
to talk to him at night and believe
he can actually hear you somewhere
deep inside is it possible to defy
everything you know and everyone who
knows you just to see him and look
into his eyes and touch him and is it
possible to be touched back is it
possible that he will do the same just
for you to be with you to look at you
to touch you because he has to in order
to breathe just like you
is it possible...

You could say this is my Independent love
song I don’t really know what
I’m doing or how to do it you could say
I may be pushing him away or drawing him
closer it’s a bet I have to make you could
say I’m showing him how to hear me
I’m showing him how to love me
you could say maybe my way isn’t
the best way maybe he knows
how to do it right he doesn’t need my help
you could say I don’t know how to
let go and let him catch me you could say
either let go of the cliff’s edge or let go
of him the choice is so easy
you could say...

Don’t be so scared to trust him don’t
be so worried he’ll let you down
don’t wonder if he is trying to say
goodbye when he says hello don’t close
your eyes and play pretend life isn’t
pretend this isn’t pretend don’t act like
he doesn’t shake you to your toes don’t
be afraid to look him in the eyes
because he needs what you need in one way
or the other don’t ever be what you
aren’t don’t ever hide yourself don’t
let go of him let go of your past don’t
let your past keep you from life
don’t
forget to tell him
this is his Independent love song too.



"Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone
I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."

Wow! Would you believe it was easier to reply in the other languages? Great writing here, held me all the way through, and I have a short attention span. I think I'll keep this in my library.

unique idea which I would love to applaud. this was a wonderful piece hun. spoke volumes about who you are and what you want/need and what you fear as well. and it contained it all within a few neatly placed words that came from the heart. truely inspirational.

Thanks all for replying to this. I had originally intended for this one to be in Portugese, but I felt it might have been more effective in Englsih. Looks like I was right.

kcsgrandma~thank you very much! I appreciate youe attention.

Jesse~ You know I always welcome your comments.

JamesMichael~I'm really flattered that you consider this marvelous. It's comments like those that keep me writing.

Elizabeth~ For us...we couldn't have anything but an Independent love song. Fits us well.

Sven~ Thank you! You in a round about way inspired my gallery, I thought doing a gallery was a neat idea

Desperado~ It's funny about inspiration...I may be writing in several different languages, but love, thay are all for you. Thank you for being you, and loving me for me. It's amazing how well it fits together.
