When I wrote this

song, you we’re

young.

I didn’t sign-up

for an ode thing.

I say to myself.

That’s not what I

said I would do.

It’s the me to

you that

won’t do.

It’s the age of

difference to

us that’s

cruel.

I know it’s not

the package

you signed

up for.

I know I won’t

do.

You’ve shown your

faith in me.

Thinking that way.

puts faith back

in me.

But if that’s not

what you want.

That’s okay.

I truly understand.

You may have

other plans.

Then, that’s your

way.

Although:

A simple yes or

no will do:

For a life that

could come

true.

The sound of

waiting around.

I’m not going to

pick and choose.

This is no market

place.

I can’t just pick

you.

Or the rest will

lose.

I couldn’t do

this to all of

you.

Win or lose.

It’s not the thing

to do to me.

I believe all

deserve the

best.

Even if we can’t

be together and

be true to all of

us and you.

Love is tough.

Love is strong..

It’s nothing to

play around

with..

Unless your ready

for sight unsound.

Sight unknown.

How can this be

happening?

When love is around?

Is there going

to be a lowdown?

Is all this love

going to turn

me down?

Will I have a sad

frown?

Will this love turn

sour along the

way?

Will there be

another day?

Or is this the end

of play?

Am I dreaming of

something that will

not be?

Am I torqueing

reality out of

porportion?

Does it even fit?

All questions.

Love is tough, love

is strong.

But will it carry on,

in this space in time?

Just a question.

Love is tough, love

is strong.

But will hit carry on,

in this place of mine?

Love is tough, love

is strong.

As far as I’m

concerned..

Love will stick

around.

There’s alot more

to say.

Just stick around.

Please, come help me

recover.

I’m a lonely hat on

an empty rack.

It teases itself.

It looks through the

holes in the fabric.

A happy cat.

A great and exciting

day.

Another play.

A bird flying singing.

A sailor on leave.

A palm tree in the

sand.

A soft wind of

lavender to

smell.

A bird in flight.

What makes up your day?

What is your part?

A simple kiss.

A long lost hug.

A salad bar.

A fast car.

A boat ride.

A simple flight across

the prairie sunset.

Or a flight across the rockies.

A barrel-ride over

Niagara Falls.

Whatever your pleasure,

We have it here at:

If It Wasn’t For Disappointments:

I Wouldn’t Have Any

Appointments At All.

So, no matter what it is.

Any time,  any place,

You can find it.

A pregnant cat.

Another coat rack.

A simple task.

Don’t talk back.

Please come around.

Leave me at the

altar.

Alone or together?

No matter what it is.

You can find it.

ANYTIME…

Do you believe in

love?

Do you believe love

is real?

Does it hit your

heart?

Do you feel hurt?

Then you believe

in love.

Would you relive

a hug?

My silly hunt is

you show your

love as well.

It’s a thought I

would love to sell.

Only if you will

be the sale.

I know it’s a silly

thing to say.

But when in love,

it’s all the same.

It’s not silly.

It’s the real thing.

I say it’s a wonderful

word to say.

If only in a sensual

way.

The word is beautiful.

But also is the acts

of play along the

way.

Our love can connect

both.

No matter which way

the stray cat may

caress it’s way to

our deep days

of play of real

ways.

Our play is a testimony

of the day when love

could play.

It just seems to me

that we don’t like

who we are to me.

We always want to

be or want something

we don’t seem to be.

It just seems to me

that my heart is

going to be broken.

Juno gave me happy

tears in the end.

Would you like to

see your baby now?

How do I look?

I hope I look good

to you?

I’ve always wanted

to.

I look up to God.

I look up to you.

You can feel the

same towards me

if you want to.

Or you can do

whatever you like.

I don’t know what

I am going to do.

I can see through

me..

But I can’t see

through you

because I don’t

want to.

I just want both of

us to be free as we

can be.

I love you there,

as I would love

you here.

It’s not a good-bye.

Only a sigh on how

it can be.

I have a great

desire, but a low

fire.

I need fuel to

pursue.

Michael Jackson I will

miss you.

I’m sorry you had

to go.

You are the king of pop.

No one will top that.

You gave us so much

happiness.

I enjoyed that.

How can we surpass

you?

Michael; I miss you

already.

God must have

really wanted

you, knowing how

much the world

loved you.

The world will miss

you.

So will Lisa Marie

Presley too.

We all miss you.

This world is a

wonderful place

for you.

But some people

didn’t see you.

They saw what they

wanted to see.

We’ll never know as

long as we’re HERE.

But when we pass

along, we will

meet again.

I can’t say enough

how much I miss

you.

Am I a person that

should not be?

Am I invading your

privacy?

I’m sorry for hurting

you.

I never meant to.

I’m sorry for the

pain and sorrow.

I hope I don’t ruin

your tomorrow.

I hope you have a

great day.

I wouldn’t want it

any other way.

I hope you believe

my words.

I don’t want to be

on your nerves.

I’m trying to make

it up to you.

I want to be faithful

and true.

I’m not trying to

stick like glue.

I just want to give

you freedom to

outlast the blue.

Whether you think

I’m in disregard

of what you see.

I just want to set

you free.

Let’s stop the hunt.

I know that’s what

you want.

If I’m wrong, then

keep singing

the song.

If I’m right, then

good night.

Either way, I say

good-bye-

good-day or

good-night.

I try or let go-

no matter what.

I walk from you

or to you.

Either way I walk

and talk of nothing

or something.

So let’s get together

or not.

Let’s walk or talk.

Quit being angry.

Does it hurt you?

The decision.

It does me.

Or else why would

I cry alone?

Just be yourself

and live for today.

If it’s all the same

to you.

Do you want to ruin

someone whom has

seen a vision of

us.

Whom has had a

good one.

I know I don’t.

Haven’t you seen

your kind before

at the door?

It’s been your kind

all along.

And that I have found

the time to tell you

my side.

But it doesn’t mean

that it was easy

to do.

It was a dream.

And it wasn’t for

only me.

It was for you

through and

through.

How about you!?

Do you feel the same?

Or am I wrong,

And it’s not

you too?

Tell me again.

Am I right?

If it’s wrong

then tell me.

Just like me to you.

It’s okay.

The other side will

tell and go on.

Shine between me

and you.

Your the last word

as the last word

to say.

Don’t take me wrong.

I know time has lead

us on.

Have you ever had

a dream that you’ve

seen it all before?

A dream of a story?

The dream of it.

A certain feeling.

A certain call.

Not wondering

anymore.

It’s feels all

true.

No difference of what

you think of it.

It’s a call.

A prophet sees

the meaning of

it all.

It could be someone

like me.

It could be me.

What do you think

of this idea?

Does it bother you

to hear what I

say?

I’m sorry if I do.

I just want to know

the reason of

your mind.

Do  you feel uneasy?

Do you feel unkind?

I can see why you

would feel this way.

But don’t let it ruin

your moment or

life.

It’s going in stride.

It’s taking long

efforts.

It’s taking it’s

time.

It bothers me to

wondering what isn’t

and is true.

Dreams of the night

that teaches me

right.

Whether you see it

or not-

it does wake me up

to make it tight.

A human being only

goes on certain

feelings.

As a whisper out of

sight.

What do you think?

Do I run from myself,

or treat it with

respect or insight?

Can we get our lives

back on track?

Can we get it

together?

Can we get it

back?

I just want to know

what’s going on.

I do nothing but

to think about

you daily.

I need your love.

I didn’t mean to

hurt your pride.

It also hurts mine.

I’ll do anything

to get you in

time.

Believe that.

You’re the target

for my love.

I’ll do anything

to get it right.

Believe me when I

say this.

I want you.

I may not show it.

I may be out of line.

That’s just my way

of telling you what’s

on my mind.

My love is true

for you.

Can you feel it

within your heart

as well?

I really need to

know what’s on your

mind.

I need to get it

right.

Or else, I’m out

of sight.

Not in a good way.

Nothing means more

to me than to be

friends with you.

Whether you feel

me or not, will you

let me state my

love?

It means everything

to me to be in touch

with you.

That’s the truth as

I know it.

It means everything

to be together

through time.
