IF I LOVE YOU



Standing in the rain again, 
Hoping she'll be back. 
This happens when emotions overrun, 
And she doesn't know how to react. 

She leaves the keys on the shelf
Telling him she's not who she needs
Instead of talking it all out, 
She chooses to just leave. 

He stands there thinking
(shaking his head)-
It's like the time before,
When he was sure it was something he'd said.

She pulls the car from the driveway
In a rainy downpour,
But he just watches on..
He'll never close the door...

He remembers she said:  
If I love you, If I love you
You'll see.  
I've stood on my own so long, 
I just need time to be....

But if I love you....
If I love you, you'll know
I'll come back better
Than what I was before.

You need to trust me now-
I know how much I'm flawed
The tears streamed down her face,
As he sat in frustration and in awe.

But then she said: 
If I love you.....
If I love you you'll know.
I'll never let you down--
You'll never go solo.

And if you just let me go,
It will only be a while.
I need some time to remember why
I deserve your smile.....

And so he waits for her
thinking of what she said....
Trying to figure out how to make her see
All that she was instead.....

And when she returned
He showed pictures of everyone around.
Looking at her... lovingly
So much love abound.

He said: If i love you
I'll tell you what you need to know.
You need to learn love yourself....
Baby, SO  much more....

You need to love and take care of yourself....
Take all the time you need.
And in the meantime I'm here for you....
You're everything to me!

Facing Change by Changing Face

She decided she needed something different She decided to change something for real She always had hated her earlobes Her lips would never "seal the deal". Her tummy was now flabby And her arms now jiggled when she walked She wanted some quick fix that reflected a "new" girl Instead of the girl she got.  So she went to the cosmopolitan city And checked in at the spa And she had her looks evaluated They even checked out her ta ta's!  And when they finished up the exam An estimate they had comprised They told her to come back again,  Once she had gotten over her surprise.... Because the list was now quite long Longer than she suspected once before And she wondered how she had not known To much of her bitter horror! She went home and thought about it And cried a little too-  How could the people at the spa Let her leave with so much left to do?  Then she drove back to the city With all the money she had saved,  And asked for botox, l

It Wasn't S'posed To

This wasn't how the bed  Was supposed to be made You out the door Bills left unpaid It wasn't s'pose to.  Oh It wasn't s'pose to.   At my door you'd knock, I gave you the key You were supposed  to marry me! Oh You were s'pose to, You were s'posed to! I told you there was Baby on the way That was somethin I made up that day! But my lies were all found out My girlfriends are gone How dare they tell you My mind is long gone. Oh just to hold to you Oh just to hold to you This wasn't how the bed Was supposed to be made You out the door, bills left unpaid It wasn't s'pose to.  Oh ..It wasn't s'pose to.   Oh,  but what's a girl to do? Without you?  But what's a girl to do? Without you?

Should I Believe What You Say?

Should I believe what you say? Cuz Baby, I don't think so... There's no use in holding on When we have to tip toe. So should I believe what you said? What you say and do's so different There's no use payin the rent When you haven't!! Cuz you like to talk too much-. I've seen it in your eyes There's no room for love when Ego has no disguise. I'm movin on from yesterday Packing my bags and leavin tomorrow. I've got a full life ahead And I'm going solo. Maybe you think I'll fail... That I'm too weak to decide I'm leaving-  And my  Eyes are open wide.... .
