Ache The days turned into Months The time I spent with you Became rare Occasionally I would get up the nerve To ask For you Only occasionally Because I was so terrified Of rejection A self-fulfilling prophecy By this time I knew I wasn’t The center Of your attention So many promises Of time spent together That never came Still I waited I was beyond Caring of the humiliation I just wanted to touch you Whenever you let me |

I was beyond Caring of the humiliation I just wanted to touch you Whenever you let me Iknow how demeaning we can allow our love for someone become...but it is wise not to compromise who we are for someone who wishes to take advantage...no one is worth that! I hope you don't mind me saying Love to you |

Lee~I don't mind at all, I enjoy everyone's thoughts....the thought I am trying to get across with these "chapters" is that sometimes we are so afraid to take a chance that we lose out on what could have been. Oh how I rattle on sometimes... Thanks for reading and responding! Susan [This message has been edited by Susan Caldwell (09-03-2003 11:21 AM).] |
