Reminiscing...

24-02-09

I remember
You smiled and you laughed
And you sat and you stared
The first time we met
But I didn’t look twice

I remember
Not thinking of romance
When you moved and you danced
That night by the fire
But I did think, “How nice…”

I remember
When we drank and we talked
And you wooed and I mocked
The time at the bar
And you said you were true

I remember
Then I knew you were nuts
And I knew that I must
After all that I’d heard
Be crazy for liking you too

I remember
I would wait for that tune
From the phone in my room
Every night after night
Cuz your voice made me smile

I remember
When you wouldn’t call
For some reason or all
That strange empty space
And the day, less worthwhile

I remember
We hugged and we kissed
And you said I’d be missed
When time came for goodbye
I thought it must be enough

But I remember it was then
I began to believe
Something’s changed within me
Though I’ve tried to deny
This space that I feel here is love

I Thought of You...

19-02-09

Today at last the sun shone through

The storm clouds of the night

It warmed and dried the rain-soaked ground

And filled our world with light

Which made me think of you

The clock ticked on and morning passed

The kids at school and play

With cheery smiles and twinkling eyes

Begged me to sit and stay

Which made me think of you

At noon, by loving, gentle hands

A sumptuous feast prepared

Fulfilled the hunger deep within

And fun and friendship shared

Which made me think of you

A quiet read upon my bed

I dozed off while I sat

And dreamed a dream that startled me

But pleasantly at that

Which made me think of you

All afternoon we tried and tried

To get to where we may

Have what we thought was what we’d want

Instead God had His way

Which made me think of you

And now it’s evening once again

And tiredly I lie

The moonlight flickers on my cheek

A butterfly floats by

Which makes me think of you

For You, on Valentines...

This is crazy, I know. But, I haven't really been able to stop thinking about you. I'm sure this has happened before, I've just never really dwelt on it. It's never ever been easy for me to come out and say anything that I honestly feel. You know how I am. I don't really really ever feel enough for anyone to actually mention something. Oh well... if this too passes, you'll be the first to say "I told you so..."

I wish you were here
You have no idea
I wish you could see
You have no idea
I wish you could know
How much you mean to me
How much you've changed me
How you've derailed me
How you've shaken what was me
And made of it something bizarre

I wish I could touch
You have no idea
I wish I could taste
You have no idea
I wish you could know
How much you mean to me
How much you've made me rethink
How you've challenged my beliefs
How you've shaken what was me
And made me stand yet taller

I wish you could hear
You have no idea
I wish you were near
You have no idea
I wish you could know
How much you mean to me
How much I crave you
How you've saved me
How you've shaken what was me
And made me who I am now

I know you don't believe in Valentine's Day, but I just wanted to say that I love you and I miss you, more than anything...
