However You Explain It I wanted so to call you, And to hear your tender voice. I stood beside the pay phone, And I had to make my choice. I wanted so to talk to you- I know that I’m a fool… Life’s a game that ends in death, If you don’t play by the rules. I guess it has to do with age- The feelings that emerge… Desires to live our youths again, Surrender to the urge… Of living loose and crazy- Of running wild and free… However you explain it, It has gotten hold of me. But I climbed back in my pickup, And I heaved a weary sigh. And drove on down the highway With a teardrop in my eye… Perhaps it is a product, Of spending so much time alone- However you explain it… I guess I’ll just take it home. © Copyright 2001 John R.

*sighhhhh* This just hit me hard. Like, I could picture this happening. And it flowed marvelously. I loved it much. Jenn "I want love on my own terms; after everything I've ever learned. Me, I carry too much baggage..." |
