My voice has no feminine waver
as I sing
count the tremble
of goosebump skin

There are no perfect voices in this head
just ones that make so much sense

I made it easy for you to be near me
despite how far we were

I sang loudest
out of all the late birds

Could never match this normal mans legendary melodies made
you could never have written one
to convey the warmth of love as he
the way you said you wished you could
for me

I will, would have
at least

Wait a lonely lifetime.

Gemma, baby...that is my biggest fear.

Thank you for reminding me that is NOT what I want..

(big hugggsssssss) No contest...the Beatles are the Father of all great rock and roll, period. (kiss on cheek) You speak with the true heart of their lyrics, sweet friend, fear not, for it will not be a lonely lifetime when you find true love smiling around the corner, ooohhhh...here comes the sun now! God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Gemma, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

seriously, this is an awesome write, and it definately answers the challenge.
