1982 - A Trilogy

How can one abandon
such strong feelings?
Am I that weak?
Are you that strong?
I look at what we had
and wonder...
Will i ever feel that way again?
Are there really other eyes out there
that sparkle like yours,
or shine like mine?
I really dont think so.
Turn it over,
look at the other side.
It was worth the changes,
the joys, the sorrows.
I can never forget
the way my heart pounded
at our first kiss.
Or  how time stopped when
i first entered you.
But now we are closed to one another,
and yet time moves on?
................

Sometimes i think i am
all that i need.
And at other times
I need you to be with.
It's so confusing
all of these
conflicting thoughts
and emotions.
If i seem to lean on us,
or you,
is that weakness?
Even the Pillars of Rome
had their faltering moments.
And this moment is mine.
............

How can i avoid
picking up the phone
to call you
when i feel like this?
You might call it weak,
but i don't think so.
Is it wrong to need one another?
(though it scares us both)
Do you need me?
When i ache inside,
can i lean on you?

 

End Peace - 1982

How can you just abandon

Such strong feelings?

Am I that weak?

Or are you too strong?

I look at what we had and wonder-

Will I ever feel that much again?

Are there really other eyes out there-

That sparkle like yours-

Or shine like mine?

I really don’t think so.

Turn it over and look

at the other side.

It was worth the changes,

the joy or pain.

I can never forget the way my heart 

pounded at our first kiss,

And how time stopped 

when I first entered you.

But now we are closed to one another,

And time goes on?
