"Let Me Let You Go...Or Don't" I sit here in the middle of the night On this shore I've come to know so well As I sit and let thoughts of you wash over me Watching each wave come up with a foamy white swell Turning my face to the moon I let the tears stream down my face Opening my heart and soul completely I allow myself to go to a new place A place about you and I That isn't all happy and full of romance Though I love you so much baby This is becoming complicated...this dance Love hurts, sometimes even the sweetest kind You don't hurt me, the situation causes the pain I hold onto what we share as tightly as I can Knowing never again will I feel the same Yet, I know in my heart of hearts As I sit on this rocky ocean of blue That you're not truly mine It's not anyones fault...its not me, it's not you Darlin, we need to move on from this point Let me let you go, or don't Say you love me forever Or tell me that you won't This indecisiveness is enough to make a person mad It's enough to tear a soul and heart into two When we talked on the phone today I just wanted to scream time and time again I LOVE YOU Yet I held myself in reserve I listened to everything you had to say I wanted to kiss you and hold you tight To wash all our fears and worries away I glance up at the stars As they twinkle high in that ebony sky Rocking myself back and forth I just let myself cry I can't let you go, though I know I should Maybe I'm selfish, you're not the only one All I know is you've had me from the beginning What's been done...can't be undone Why couldn't I have been your first Did I arrive just a little too late Yet I feel we were meant to be That it's our destiny and fate When I hear your voice late at night I can almost feel the heat of your stare It's the intensity of our love That keeps me from going anywhere I close my eyes and your in my dreams You're there whispering your love for me The torture is so sweet, I don't want to open my eyes But perhaps its time we both face reality As the song you gave to me says Baby don't break my heart slow If our time is ending then please By all means go But I don't want you to go I want to keep you close to me forevermore Trying hard as I know how to believe in our future Though I have no idea what God has in store I know I'm a contradition of all sorts But so are you my sweet dear I feel the ocean breeze kiss my cheek In doing so wiping away another tear I slowly rise to begin my journey home Taking one last look at the vast deep blue sea I cry and smile while looking out As I think once again about you and me AMK July 2 2001 "but i see your true colors, shining through... i see your true colors and that's why i love you" ~phil collins~ [This message has been edited by Aimster (edited 07-02-2001).] |

Oh, Amy, it's never easy to be caught in a place where you have no clue which way things will go. Best of luck to you, my friend. I feel the ache here loud and clear. *hugs* All writing comes by the grace of God. -Ralph Waldo Emerson [This message has been edited by Lone Wolf (edited 07-02-2001).] |

A heartfelt narrative that tumbles from your pen onto the page, a tidal wave of emotion, I felt every word and am sad from the feeling. Wonderful write, thank you and take care. Regards, Olias. |

Seems like love is complicated some times or is it just emotional...James |

'Why couldn't I have been your first Did I arrive just a little too late Yet I feel we were meant to be That it's our destiny and fate When I hear your voice late at night I can almost feel the heat of your stare It's the intensity of our love That keeps me from going anywhere' Hey, Aims...you've done a fantastic job of pouring your emotions out here...excellent expression of your big ol' heart, girlie...love this...I really 'felt' this one as well... -e ~~~~~~~ it was love that first drew me, |

Amy-girl~ The pain in this leaped into my heart, I feel your words. Even I, have had to let go, and it took me years to do so, it's never easy. Sometimes, it is a true love - if you can let them go, to reclaim yourself~ Hugs, Melissa~ |

Darling girl this is outstanding. Truly one of your most beautiful powerfully written pieces. Utterly utterly excellent darling girl.  Really love the imagery and the words in this one love, you have certainly written your heart here. And I suspect an awful lot of others hearts too. As always lately this is too short to tell you how fabulous you are. love as always Mushy   Take back the hope you gave,- I claim |

..My Dear...as hard as it may seem, and as ridiculous as it may sound....Run, Run, Run...been here with you and it is a dead-end at the best... "...don't ever stop loving, don't ever stop believing, don't ever stop dreaming your dreams..." |
