an old one and a new one

By david On April 27th, 2004

tell me something beautiful,
but maybe not so typical
as a walk on the beach
or cuddling by the fire.
cause i need more
than just air to breathe,
or a sweet idea
of what love is meant to be.

but where are we now,
that it seems like so long ago
when we both believed what we said.

and through it all
i pinch myself to sleep
and live the dream
that i want to awake to,
but it flickers away in a
mist of misunderstanding
and causes pity to rain down
and wash the ground away
into nothing.

*************************************

no words of mine
are good enough to suffice
for a long song of love
sung to music
unable to move
quite like you do
so while you listen
imagine for me
that i’m fillin’
the space between us
admireably
i wish i could sing
the perfect love song
for this love of mine
but this is what i offer:
meager words
with a request;
don’t give up on me just yet
i want to make you happy
love
you know how happy you make me

    yeah… really good. but I already told you that.
