We live
day after day
constantly faced with mistakes from yesterday
"why is that?" you say
as we walk life's lonely {roads}
the echo of our steps
resounding {loud...as we stroll}
the back roads and alley ways
through many days
of malcontent
our happiness spent
misused and abused
so we stroll
alone
not wanting to be used
we sleep…to a gentle snore
dreaming of tomorrows
and wanting so much more
of the happiness we see
in the faces of others
to laugh
to dance
maybe even a lover
not just in our dreams
but reality, too
let me open my eyes
and feel the warmth of you
we wake
to a sunshiny day
and reflect on mistakes
we made yesterday
when our head was in turmoil
...our heart, a wreck
and, life, for us
wasn't happy,
i suspect
WHEN
clouds consumed my baby blue sky
and turrets of raindrops filled my day
deep, roaring thunder rolled down my hill
and dared mighty sun to get in its way
there are confusing times
when i don't know what to do
still, i continue moving forward
first, one step...then two
all in my quest
to find and get with you
then
there are sometimes
when sunshine fills my days
and all the things i feel inside
comes out in loving ways
“i love you” being one
“hey, beautiful” being two
“you are the sunshine in my life”
“please, share my future” to name a few
i've seen the joy within your life
i'd like to share my day with you
to hold your hand
to be your friend
to laugh
and play
and make love with you
this, I would do.
