To My Lover

[BabyJoe]

Today, 365 days ago – you touched me

“let me show you somethingâ€

Your eyes were searching, while fear, excitement froze mine

“I promise this won’t be sexualâ€

And never was it so - In any of the stolen moments which followed.

We both met our matches

Bewildered - Callousness overrides our passions

Inner honesty – attraction

The same, we turned out to be

No dreams, no hopes

- Just the now

Time – stolen – back seats

Long distance, wish fullness

Hours on line, Communication gaps

Longing – Wishing - Wanting

Steamy tables, Countertops, chairs

A degree of furniture

“How serious are youâ€

Was our undoing

A year past, who would have believed

Didn’t plan on this

To give up all for you

But never asked the same

Duty binds you, molds you

Makes me love you more

It hurts - understanding now

In another reality

We would flame each other burn

Soul mates

Would this have been true?

I wanted control as did you

Now I see – feel – know

You give more then you know

Finally I understood what it took

For you to give

For days, months

I felt unworthy

Your eyes were brave

You word were true

As your shacking body and eyes of hurt said:

“I love youâ€

It showed you didn’t want too

For fear losing to much

Your hands made me hope

I hated it, yet I came addicted

And wanted only that -

No responsibility no stones

Just us!

Craving a fairytale

I want the fairytale

I want the dream

Only now in the wee hours of morning

Obligations –mattering to make others happy…to do our duty

“Freedom is in the headâ€

You were right

Prisoner of life –

You are my freedom

To where I run

To hide from reality

To take the mask off & be just me

One year of an affair

I told myself that

To make you feel better

Lying to us

“This has never, was never and will never be oneâ€

Still now…it isn’t

But duty Overpowers us

Stolen moments of truth

Until it is no longer enough.
