Was it your eyes or just the new york sunset that took my breath away
and the way you held close to my side at the end of that winters day
Every touch upon my hand swears to me,that I have moved you somehow
you could wait forever to say that you love me,but I swear I need you now



Tell me how to make this real/to make you want me more
I want to know what it takes for you to look into my eyes,
like never before
A little more passion in your kiss,and to know you miss me when I'm gone
I have been so blessed to be your friend,but I have loved you all along




So many years have passed,and they never changed my mind/I always thought the best for us,would somehow be in time/but I survived the sleepless nights,even when you were in love with another man/my call was to always stand by your side,even when I could hardly stand.
but everytime you say goodbye,I wish you could feel whats inside my heart..every step you take away from me,to me is worlds apart..Knowing that were beneath the same sky I pray upon,still makes me feel so lost,leaving me so scared to god I will lose you forever,someday when you're gone

Funny how one phrase can run through so many minds, creating so many different stories.....

I’ve looked in your eyes
Through your well honed disguised
And seen the person you are
You’ve shown me your tears
Your hopes your fears and
Cared for me from afar~
And as I grew,
developed new
and heart felt
Caring feelings,
With tumultuous heart,
My motions askew,
I knew that
I could love you~

I abandoned my sorrows
For dreams of tomorrows
That I hoped
Would encompass you,
And we walked this
Path slowly,
You and I,
And through it all I grew~
I let down my guard,
Left myself wide open,
And soon enough I knew,
That despite my protests,
My hardened stance,
That I had come to love you~

But now your path
Has detoured from mine,
And you’re turning from me
As you say goodbye,
There’s no comfort in sight,
Just long lonely nights
Void of you,
And I no longer can deny,
You haven’t yet left
But you’re really gone,
Taking nothing of me
But a few sad words,
And a pictured
Face to peer into~
A songstress, a woman,
Buried memory deep,
Looking back with
Eyes that see through,
A moment in time,
Between you and I,
A soft reminder that
I have loved you.

that was amazing..thank you so much for that

Thank you for posting the topic. Dont you agree...one line can be thought by so many, with so many end results? Humanity is a glorious thing....Nice write...I appreciated it hugely....

yep..so simple,yet so beautiful

Absolutely...simplicity at it's finest....like a Balenciaga gown...a sonnet.....a creek trickling over the rocks....pure...and uncluttered....

dude I'm a macaroni and cheese kinda kid



I suck at philosophy

What a shame...you write so well....

Thank you,but I've learned to use creativity without fighting with all my god given breath to make others look like idiots

yeah sure I've lived a simple and somewhat pointless life,but never so dull I had to study a dictionary or be so without thought or motive to quote or live by the words of another person


except for maybe Ayn Rand



I adore her

love it, something we all can relate to

Que sera sera ... I wont bother...however, it was a nice write initially.... good luck....

COOL to read ya man,,,,,
I have missed your words here... Keep um coming..

It seems a simple word or two brings out the best in some and the life still lives in your words JT.
