For Michelle
by Adrian CalhounSometimes she loves me,
sometimes I let her,
most of the time I shut her out.
It is very hard to explain really.
I get caught up in everyday things,
and don't take time to spend with her.
Usually my inner child wins,
and I am off on a whim.
I love her more than life itself,
she truly is my better half.
Before I married her
I didn't even have a good side.
She has brought out the best in me,
and that's what scares me.
For so long I was a stone,
worked hard at being tough,
had a reputation for being mean.
All I had built myself into,
was gone with one look in her eyes.
She deserves better, more.
I wish I was the husband of her dreams.
Don't blame her,
I am a very hard man to love,
but she does. 03/15/2003 Author's Note: For my wife Michelle. I love you so much. Sometimes I am just an idiot.

Good stuff, you DID show this to her, right? ;) |
