From_Now_On Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I'm living in the glances I get of you I never thought I'd be living out of the corner of my eye Praying for a glimpse of you just to get me by I'm leaving all the thoughts behind At least that's what I say Really you're always on my mind And I wish you came closer As I walk away Chase me Need me …Love me Please? I feel so foolish But I'd still drop on my knees If you'd just come back to me Let this be imagined We never fell apart, right? It's just that I was missing you And it's all a nightmare I had last night I'm sorry I want to move on It's right, right? So why does it feel so wrong? I never thought I'd turn my face When all I wanted was to see you Now I don't know what to do Except watch the world pass me by I think of you and try not to cry But I don't succeed The wind slips over my fingertips As they dance alone in the cool air The spaces between seem so empty Without yours laced safely there ((The title is derived from the first word of each of the three lines that are only one line stanzas...I used italics so you could find it. And then the whole part of the last one-liner. I couldn't think of a title so I kept playing with it until I saw that and I think it fits because it's all about how the person is acting as if they are...(okay, over it, etc etc)...but they don't succeed in this act of trying to fool themselves. Anyway, that's the shortened explanation.)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GettingOverIt Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 F_N_O, you have a great gift of putting feelings and emotions into words - whether it's in your poems or in your lyrics... You cut to the very heart of things and take us for a ride that we've all (or many of us anyway) been on... Keep writing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
