MaryEllen

By Burnt at both ends

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

It's twentyone years today Do you have you birthday wish? I'm alive and so are you. For what more can we ask? Lets not analyse the past Love is now and where are you? It must seem that I'm leaving just to get away, Maybe someone up in heaven knows the truth. But I'm breathing here on Earth, I have done so since my birth, And I'm doing what I know I have to do. I've known you for a long time MaryEllen, I love you in a way that's all my own. Please don't let yourself start to fear replacement. 'Cause no one can ever show me what you've shown. And sometimes I can smile In the sunshine or the rain, Resting on the pillow of the love that you became. Somewhere in our futures Our paths may cross again, I want us to be happy, At least Until Then.The first Song I ever wrote.... to my girlfriend from college days...the great "bridge to nowhere"... @ SUNY StonyBrook....LOL Mary, if you are out there....turns out I needed you more than I ever thought.... You knew that though...didn't you. Written January 31st, 2002 © on Jan 31 2002 06:43 AM PST   20 • 0 • 8
