A Little Lost

I'm so unfinished

Our love affair

A voice is telling me to

run

run away

What are we going to do? 

It's no secret you like me and I like you.

But we can't be together forever.

Or can we?  

We can at least hold on for so long.

You live there and I live here.

You are much older than I am.

but I simply adore you. Even if I tried to let you go..

I couldn't. And that almost makes me angry.

These feelings are clearly tangible and real.

What are we going to do?

Act on our feelings like we want to?

or act like we never knew each other?

It's a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair.

What will become of us?

I'm afraid to know.

Nobody has to know.

We've already begun and I'm afraid to look and lose.

but so ready to fly straight to you.  

Love is seen in the depth of us.

In the breath of us.

We can't run. We can't turn back.

Perhaps we could hide?

Push every drop of fear aside?

We only have one life.

It's now or never.

If two people truly want to be together...

They ought to try it together.

They ought to try, because you never know how good something could turn out.

Tomorrow could be our last day anyway.

Just grab my hand and don't ever drop it

They are the hunters

We are the foxes

and we run

I know places we won't be found

 

I won't give up on you..but you might give up on me.

Thats the scariest part.

You could easily find a better woman.

You could forget all about me.

Yet after all these months.

After all this madness we created together.  

You haven't left.

and neither have I.

So what are we going to do?

I'm ready for you.

What am I going to do.

I'm not going to run away from you.

This is falling in love in the cruelest way

In dreams I meet you in long conversation

We both wake in lonely beds, different cities.

and time is taking it's sweet time racing you

and you've got your demons and darling they all look like

me

This is beautiful Kathryn. I love how you described his demons similiar to yourself. Brilliant line. The uncertainty of love is always scary and you have brought it out in a great way.

Sometimes two people in love find many obstacles blocking their love from full fruition. Both must keep the lines of communication open and determine if these obstacles can be overcome; if so, will the supreme effort change the dynamic of the relationship as it stands now? Some momentous change can cause the landscape to shift beneath you, losing something along the way. I hope that these two lovers find a way to make this long-distance love work. take care...dan
