The Crumbs Of The Cake

She’d told me that I’d grown on her Her words took me aback I hadn’t expected to her say Something quite like that But I think it's too late now She waited far too long My love for her was yesterday Unless her love is strong She spurned me once and I was hurt We made it still as friends Can we still be lovers? On her it all depends I’ve got used to knowing her For the company The thought of being lovers now Is strange as things can be I think she left it way too long My love has simply waned Now admitting what she feels Has made our friendship strained She siad that it was better Now the pressure’s off Maybe she wanted someone else But all they did was scoff Perhaps I’ve turned out second best I don’t really know If she wants my heart again True love she’d have to show I don’t that’s possible She's not that kind of girl Through these actions I admit My mind is in a whirl I believe for love to work You take it as it comes If you miss the cake at first You don’t pick up the crumbs Perhaps I am too harsh on her She may just truly care But this heart’s had too much pain A risk I cannot bear Love must flow so naturally Between two people's hearts No one-way streets or dead end roads There can be no false starts I trust in intuition My heart it tells me this As yet I have not found the one Who’ll send me to true bliss Copyright © Andy..Harding    (PS I Have now ..... and I'm so glad I waited for the right one) Written January 6th, 2002 © on Jan 06 2002 12:53 AM PST, Andy Harding   0 • 1 • 8
