Don't you know, I love you too
by Lori BlairMy, Love,
Have you been alright?
though, they tell me you are just fine
but I don't think it's so
cuz I know
I just know how you are
so why don't you just tell me it's not so
cuz we had a love beyond those times
there is nothing else that could suffice
What's that?
why don't you call me and say
you feel the same
cuz I know
because I don't believe it isn't so
I just know
I just know your heart
and baby, you're blue, without me too
the sun has faded it's surprise
and all the heat it once shared
is only a disguise
behind distant eyes
Who knew?
I often wondered why
you left me alone
and why I know
because you don't believe in dreams
but I just believe
I just believe you know it too
cuz the truth is worth the risk
the distance we see is hidden
cuz we had a love beyond those times
there is nothing else that could suffice
so hold me as if the springtime
will never come
and let it spring forth
for all it's worth
within those new distant eyes
Oh, okay
oh please tell me why
oh, oh, tell me the truth
cuz I can't lose the past
I am remaining in times spent
together, alone, in my life
without you
Hold on, please hold on
oh, just please, just hold on
cuz you know it's true
cuz we had a love beyond those times
there is nothing else that could suffice
Oh, My love
it isn't alright
cuz you are not here to hold me tight
and I wonder, what have I done wrong?
cuz I still can't adjust
that you are not here
and the new year won't be the same
without my baby
holding me through the night
So what enemy is listening
don't you honestly think it's unending
don't you think the truth will set us free
till the sun says it's goodbye
and my baby says it's just goodnight
oh yeah, it's forever, and not just goodnight
but now
the sun has faded it's surprise
and all the heat it once held
is only a disguise
behind your distant eyes
Who knew?
Who knew why?
It's a little thing called, disguised
Who knew?
I often wondered why
you left me all alone
and why I know
because you don't believe in dreams
but I just believe
I just believe you know it too
cuz the truth is worth the risk
and it's worth the risk
cuz you know
cuz you know
baby, I love you, too

| Posted by JJ Johnson on 12/04/11 at 06:32 AM This poem reads like a song with many conflicting and contrasting emotions. There is deep love and hope mixed with a sense of longing and insecurity. I am reminded of a lifetime of New Year's Eves with no one to hold, to kiss when the clock struke twelve. It's a bit overwhelming as the slices of time slice through the past into the future. You've written a powerful and expressive verse that brings shivers to my spine in lines I feel running through me as though written by my own hand. Excellent work! jj |

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 12/04/11 at 05:29 PM I like how this expresses and feels very much like a Beatles song. Almost painful to read, in how we feel your pain...loneliness. |
