I long to love you but don’t know quite how It seems the harder a try the more damage it does Drawing close to you actually pushes you away …slowly we are drifting apart. I want to be closer to you to share life’s moments each day But instead we […]
I Want To Cry
I want to cry but no tears come A new season has begun and yet I keep wanting to cling to the past, hoping that the good aspects of it will last. I feel that lump in my throat and hope that I can stay afloat. I know that crying […]
