change...

you say.. i ain't the same woman you met

many smiles ago

don't smile no more

could be my features have changed

say...

i don't great you the same

treat you the same

things have changed

but you

ain't the same either

aint the sweet,kind,thoughtful man

you used to be

aint' given me reason

to be as sweet

to even stretch these beatiful lips

wrap them around your strong,long beautiful vision

and smile

say...

you could get my attention

without asking

now ...you don't even bother

could be things aint' the same

things've changed

i ain't happy

and you ain't been given me a reason

too many lonely nights

leave these limbs

extended across a queens bed

& cold....

things ain't the same

remember a time... you'd never leave me alone...

say...

love don't live here anymore...

but i'm talking to myself...

change.....

I often peruse your archived posts in search of an answer I never got. I find that even though the circumstances in which we came to know one another weren't the most positive I really just want to say thank you. Before I deleted the emails and chats we had in the past along with those from the name we must'nt speak of, I re-read them and truly understand that even though some were not upbeat they did serve a divine purpose. I am now a much happier person because I took your advice to let go of the thing I willing allowed me to be held back. You are truly inspirational and I mean no harm in this comment. I do apologize sincerely for my actions in the past and even though its been a while now I just wanted to tell you this in hopes that you can forgive me for being so nieve and immature. You never know how lucky you are until a person from the outside gives you a reality check. I wish the best for you and yours, congrats on the new addition and I hope you prosper in everything you do in life you deserve it.
