I sat there, mind in idle...
And I wondered what to do.
Should I accept the status quo?
Or should I write to you?

And, if so, what is there to say?
That would not be a lie...
It somehow goes against the grain
To make a lady cry.

Each time I read your comments-
They touch and warm my heart.
To listen to emotion’s cry-
I’ve learned is not real smart.

The biographic glimpses...
Have drawn and captured me...
And anywhere that you reside,
Is where I want to be.

I want to spread a blanket-
Upon a meadow green...
And tell you my adventures,
And places I have seen.

Tell me what you’re thinking?
A penny for your thoughts.
Into your eyes I’m sinking...
This path’s with danger fraught...

I fear that I will hurt you-
I know it’s hurting me...
I guess the wisest thing to do...
Is let the whole thing be.

Nope...I guess you shouldn't give up
This is the time to speak up
I am sure she will catch up
And helps you really cheer up.


waiting for a continuation, my friend...
