At first being that close to you
Made me feel uncomfortable
Then it made me feel safe
We were puzzle pieces
Pulled me in
And now I can’t escape
I am afraid to tell you the truth
You might run the other way
I think that I may have revealed too much already
But I can’t stop
With you
Things are different
I am
Raheem Devaughn’s Mo Betta comes to mind
The mo betta makes it mo betta…
I wish I knew what to do
And how to do it
Go back to the beginning
This time keeping my head clear
And my heart
In my back pocket
Far away from my sleeve
Cuz it really
Does knock you down...

feeling some kind of way...

Make You Feel My Love

By: Adele

When the rain is blowing in your face

And the whole world is on your case

I would offer you a warm embrace

To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear

There is no one to dry your tears

I could hold you for a million years

To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet

But I would never do you wrong

I've known it from the moment that we met

There's no doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue

I'd go crawling down the avenue

There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do

To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on a rolling sea

And on the highway of regret

The winds of change are blowing wild and free

You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy make your dreams come true

There aint nothin' that I wouldn't do

Go to the ends of the earth for you

To make you feel my love

today's talk...

I’m asked what it is
That keeps me
Hanging on this long
With no promises
Waiting at the other end
And all I can do
Is shrug my shoulders
Who knows?
I’m asked
If I am…
I laugh as though she is insane
Of course not
I say
Even though I know that I am
Embarrassed to show my hand
And say that
Some days it feels like I am
And that I cannot make it through the day
Without him creeping into my thoughts
Well, what about that one and the other one?
Whatever happened to them?
The new car smell wore off
And now I’m bored
And now I am ready for my next victim
I joke
She continues to press
There are plenty of fish in the sea
So why do you want this one
Knowing what you know?
Why is he so special?
That’s it I say
He is special
I see something in him…
I feel something
That I can’t describe
And until someone else
More special comes along
I’m afraid
That I’m stuck
She asks me
Do you think I’m crazy
For hanging on to this one?
If you’re crazy
I’m crazy
I laugh
You’re following your heart
Despite
Knowing what you know
You have more guts than I do
At least you can tell him
She tells me to make her face the truth
That the chances of her heart’s dreams coming true
Are slim
But I can’t
Because then I’d have to face it as well

the favorites

You were my favorite
I breathed just to be near you
You ate
And I got full on your leftovers
I became your shadow
I disappointed you
And I made myself work harder
I wanted to keep you
Make you feel what I felt
You were my favorite
You wanted to be my favorite
You were willing to stand in line for me
And give me
Your most treasured possession
I disappointed you
Cowardly I ran from you
I wished that I could feel what you felt
You wanted to be my favorite
You could’ve been my favorite
Right people, right time, but
Our hearts
Still belonged to other people
We used each other
To play pretend
I disappointed you
I could not keep up the charade
How I wished that I could feel something
You could’ve been my favorite
You are my favorite
You made me break all of my rules
Made me smile
And my heart full
Overflowing at times
Despite what is…
I disappointed myself
I’ve been split in two
Sometimes wishing
that I did not feel what I do
You are my favorite

An optimistic, realistic, distant dreamer

An optimistic, realistic, distant dreamer
I’m feeling a little suffocated
Like I’m laying down
And life keeps placing stones on my chest
Holding me down
And things are moving in slow motion
All around me
And I am unable to participate
In life’s activities
For the first time
In along a long time
I feel alone and lonely
An optimistic, realistic, distant dreamer
Wishing that I could make
It all better
Wishing that despite what you said
And what you wrote
That you did not make my heart smile
And feel so full
The way that you do
An optimistic, realistic, distant dreamer
With a box
Filled with wishes
