ready.

here i am,
capture me,
while the time is right.

here i stand,
take all of me,
i am emotionally naked,

here i lay,
open me up,
remove my soul.

eat me alive...

falling

like a dream,
but i'm awake..
WOW!
you're so gentle,
i'm not scared.
you're so patient,
i understand.
you're so caring,
i'm a princess.
you're so affectionate,
i'm a child..

like a dream,
but i'm awake.
WOW!
gently,
i'm losing balance.
patiently,
i'm tripping.
caringly,
i'm falling fast.
affectionately,
you catch me....

i'm in love.

found

the mist was thick,
the mist was white,
the mist wouldn't clear,
it couldn't.

i was alone,
i was not scared,
i wouldn't trip,
i couldn't
,
the mountain was high,
the mountain was green,
the mountain wouldn't move,
it couldn't.

i was at peace,
i was deep,
i wouldn't loose you,
i couldn't.

the river was frozen,
the river was red,
it wouldn't flow,
it couldn't.

i was calling,
i was searching,
i wouldn't wait,
i couldn't.

like the mist,
all around me,
like the mountain,
so stable,
like the river,
not leaving....

there you were.

not again

i won't again,
i won't give up,
i won't give in...

i will not hide...
my feelings,
i will tell you, i care.
my fears,
i will say, 'i'm afraid of the dark'
my strengths,
i can make it on my own.

if i walk away,
or worse,
i let you walk away..

i will have lost, again...

distance

how far is a long distance relationship?
is a million miles over the sea, long distance?
or is a half hour drive, long distance?
if i never see you either way, is it long distance?
if i see you more when you're furter away, is it a relationship?
if you're not that far, and i never see you, do i owe you anything?
am i supposed to stop my life for you, if you're not near?
do you stop your life for me?

how long do i waste my time??

confusion...

it's cold where you are,
your heart is frozen,
the icyness radiates through your smile.
why do i so badly want to melt you?
hold you close and warm you..
i burn each time i try,
stick to you like a tongue to an ice pop...
pulling away, leaving a bit of me behind each time.
raw.

am i so cold to unwanted love?
do i take a piece of some one?
are they raw after they've touched me?
do they bleed?

you

at first there was a distance,
day by day,
one step closer...
closer and closer,
until i saw all of you,
i liked what i saw.

at first there was an awkwardness,
day by day,
a little more comfort...
less and less,
until we could laugh,
i liked how it felt.

at first there were secrets,
day by day,
we shared pieces of ourselves...
more and more,
until we could cry,
i liked being whole.

at first there was perfecion,
day by day,
growing stronger between us...
peaceful and calm,
we knew each other,
i liked being complete.

at first there was nothing,
day by day,
the nothing grew larger...
eating it's way inside,
we stopped learning,
we stopped exploring,
we stopped feeling,
until i was standing alone,
i did not like the emptiness.

i saw you in the distance.... walking away.
