I Never Thought

Song

05/19/13

 

With trembling heart

And aching hands

I pick up the phone

To make amends

 

My breath it shakes

My lungs expand

I manage to breathe

Waiting to hear your voice again

 

I never thought

In a million years

I never thought

In a thousand tears

I never thought

I'd surpass the fear

I never thought

I never thought

 

I'd be blessed to hear you laugh

Or even hear you smile

Or glimpse something akin to joy in your eyes

Even as  you sighed

 

I never thought

In a million years

I never thought

In a thousand tears

I never thought

I'd surpass the fear

I never thought

I never thought

I really like the repetition...it adds to the potency of the different emotions scattered throughout, and gives it a song-like feel...well done :)

It is a song, all be it short (though I've written shorter). ;-) I was inspired, and doubly so after having watched the movie I mentioned.

Love is being happy for the happiness of others. Love is selfless. This poem is heartwarming:)

Thank you Maryanne. Wish I had a good way to record so you could hear me play it on my guitar.

[Androglossia]

I would love to hear you play, Mel :) Would that be possible?
