When you look at me
Hold me close
And I know I love you.
But the moments
That mean the most
Are when I look at you
And you don't know
I am looking,
When you ask nothing
And get everything
I have to give.
I'll remember the times
you looked into my eyes,
But most of all
I'll remember watching you
Reading
Or fooling with the dog
Or cooking on Sunday morning,
Or brushing your teeth
And knowing that
I love you.
When we're alone by the fire and the music is soft
When he holds me quietly and caresses my hair
When he touches my breast and his kisses are tender and warm.
Or maybe tomorrow I'll tell him when we run across hills and rest on rocks.
When the sun warms our bare backs and the wind is still
When we laugh in restaurants and sip red wine
When we walk through the city streets and mumble in coffee houses
When we dream of mountain cabins and the ranch we'll build.
Or maybe I'll tell him in the morning when we wake from sleep and touch without words.
When the smell of toast and coffee is in the kitchen.
When he sings in the shower and lures me back to bed.
When we cannot touch enough and listen to the rain.
Or maybe I'll never tell him
Maybe I'll never tell him because time and memories have me wonder:
"If you fall in love with your lover, Does it spoil everything?"
See what's becoming of me
while I sit and think
of my possibilities.
Look around,
grass is high,
it's the springtime
of my life-
I'm gonna die.
Sometimes high,
sometimes low,
feelin' mean
and dirty
I see my face
reflected there,
now scarred
what once was pretty.
I'm lonely.
author Rod McKuen
I hoped that you'd be mine;
And with each passing day
I hope it's only a matter of time.
Till that day I guess that
I'll just wait around to see;
If by any chance
You just might feel the same of me.
Other guys may come and go,
Young loves usually don't last long;
But for guys like you
The feelings always burning strong.
Other girls may tempt you
With their fast and phony plays;
But me, I guess I'm just too real
To try those put on ways.
So if the day should ever come
That you would turn to me;
I hope it would be for just myself.
Not for something I couldn't be.
If you will show me how to give more,
then I will give more.
I can only give as much as you need
to receive or allow me to give.
If you receive all I can give then my
love is endless and fulfilled.
If you receive a portion of my love
then I will give others the balance
I am capable of giving.
I must give all that I have
being what I am.
let me grow
like a tree in seasons,
losing leaves
and growing new ones.
If you love me
take me as I am;
don't try to change me
I'm really not so bad.
If you love me
set me free
to live and love and learn,
to laugh and sing,
to fall and cry
and then come back to you.
man
Yes, supply me with
hope
Yes, I love thee
man
You give me new life>
