feelin' needy...
how do I endure? I'd be a fool to say it want you in my life ~
Your haiku reminded me of something I wrote a long time ago:
I stand here late at night, beside a roaring fire With a handful of old poems that I wrote for you before My head tells me to throw them down into the pyre My hearts says hang on to them, fool, just for one day more
I knew you could not be my muse forever Missing your hair, and voice, and face is my regret I'll cherish every moment that we had together Even though, the saddest thing is that we never met
Upon you for this I can not now lay the blame Flower of springtime, I'm destined for fall Before you go I must thank you, my life is better since you came. Though late at night, your name I'll sometimes call
It's nearly dawn, the fire dying, stars fade one by one I'm standing here with old poems, waiting for the sun.
