With a Glance

By Riverette

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

It's been like this for far too long With only one in my sights Pulling me through these cold nights Thinking of him evermore Wishing to be the one he adores It's been like this for far too long So long that I don't remember How it feels to have that ember The ember caught when you fall in love And the way you feel he fits you like a glove It's been like this for far too long And I don't think I'm ready To again feel so unsteady To put my heart back on the limb And to feel the desire to kiss him on a whim It's been like this for far too long I loved him for six years so how can I love again I just want it to be like it was then When he didn't like me and it was all great But now I like someone new who could be my mate It's been like this for far too long And I wonder if this other guy Will like me too, or will he lie Before it was better when I new I had no chance But last night my world was changed With just one glance Written March 11th, 2001 © on Jan 05 2002 04:32 PM PST    0 • 8
