Loving You 2010

In High School
	I only wanted
	a friend and girlfriend
	to walk with, talk with,
	run with, play with
	hug and kiss.

In College
	My love for you was again set aflame
	through thoughts and words
	I tried to express
		a love and desire
		I’ve never known for anyone else,
		a love, an ideal
		which consumed my mind,
	but, one that only served
	to pressure you and scare you away
				again.

In ‘87
	I desperately needed
	an intimate relationship
	to prove I was able
		to love and
	to know someone wanted
		to love me.


	I felt the huge hole in my heart
		could only be filled
		by you and your love,
	and when I hesitated,
		I lost your love again,
		I lost myself again,
		and I was thrust back
			into a life void of love.

Now
	that you’ve told me
	your love for me is real,
	I cry happy tears
		and sad
	depending on where
		and how you are.
	A whole new and I suppose
	final chapter is being performed
	in our life long play
		of the heart,
	two hearts that sing when together
		and cry when apart…

May our loving dance
	across the floor of time
	continue forever.
