The Sting of Love

I've almost given up on romance 
Always it seems to lead to heartbreak 
Disaster 
I should know better 
But my heart is foolish 
Doesn't listen to my head
Every great love story starts out like this 
Right?
Like a possibility 
A hope 
Friendship that seems to blossom 
Out of dry humor 
Maybe you're foolish too
We foolishly hope 
The sting of loss
Is a distant memory 
In these brief moments of happiness

Distant Dream

 I want to meet you at the close of day

wrap my arms around your neck 

and kiss you

I want to be the other half of your heart

the one you turn to

when things go wrong

I want to intertwine my hand with yours

as we walk

signaling my love with each squeeze 

I want my days to be filled with love

to kiss away the stress 

and pull your thoughts to all that's good

in life and love

I want to catch your loving gaze

as we eat our meals together

In short

I want you

my lover

my friend

I do
