Lover

November 4, 2003 — Filed under: mypoems

Lover… Love peacefully sleeping Do not worry about love Do not worry that I am a repeat of the past I am someone new, for you And I am someone new for myself No absolutes, as you wish my sweet You have drawn back the shades for me Shown me in an instant, how many preconceptions I carry I want to do the same, yet now I feel like your pupil I hold you in the highest respect, I hold you as tightly as I can My fears I show to you, I am seasoned to be the victim Pleading innocence, a reflecting pond I’d rather not remain You demand more from love Such fire your heat is impossible to ignore I offer you my own passion in exchange Change is not always growth but growth comes anyways So similar our hearts desire, success and power All from within our personal places have expanded I want you to fall in to me with out reservation I love that you know what you want Our exchanges have heavy weight Those we choose to carry on, we will choose when to let them go I have premonitions and I set them down Knowing things will be different than we expect I hope our futures will be long Feeling that they may not only shows I am carrying some past still A little patience, a little tolerance We will see our futures, they will be exciting Passionate and reveling, I step with you My heart screams to be heard I love you Nicole, sleep well my sweet
