Long Ago.

You brought me close to you.
But when I
refused
you knew the truth.
That you wouldn't wait for me
forever.

Slowly and carefully -
that's how you once got rid of me.
There's no way to tell you
that I know the truth.

And I'm
falling.
Out into the open.
I'm waiting
Just for you.
I'm hoping that you'll
catch me
like you said you would
long ago.

And there's no way
to tell you
that I can still feel you
near me.
And I
don't want to let you go.

Slowly and carefully -
that's how you once got rid of me.
But I'm done
pretending I don't care.

And I'm
falling.
Out into the open.
I'm waiting
Just for you.
I'm hoping that you'll
catch me
like you said you would
long ago.

And suddenly
I'm not who I used to be.
You
have
changed
me.

And I'm
falling.
Out into the open.
I'm waiting
Just for you.
I'm hoping that you'll
catch me
like you said you would
long ago.

Just like you said
you would.
Long ago.

More catching, as in the poem above, I see. Reference to something?? Hmmm....

Catching someone before they fall...sound familiar? Like in my poem! You know, that explains what love is to me.

wow this was a long time ago. I never saw your reply comment!

Why is love like that to you? I mean, how is it like that? Are you saying you're being saved before you fall into loneliness and despair?
