Old Hands, Still Held

I fall in love with you everyday,

every minute, in every way.

The tears you cry, every lullaby,

I will always be nearby.

Hold me tight or push me away,

I'll forever be here to stay.

Say my name or just lend a smile,

I'll put my arms around you awhile.

This is the part where I blow up your phone.

This is the part when you don't sleep alone.

This is the part where we feel the same.

This is the part when I'll give my name.

Sit with me and let's dream for now.

Don't worry about when or how.

Sit with me and give me your hand.

Little moments no one has planned.

Don't forget all the butterflies,

tickle fights, and colorful skies.

Don't forget all the dreams we see.

Walk with me to eternity.

This is the moment we're longing for.

Curled up and in need no more.

This is the moment we fall apart

and come together with a perfect heart.

If you cry, I'll kiss your tears,

hold your hands. In many years,

when we are old and always cold,

I'll be the fire that you can hold.

Let me sing you soft to bed.

Let me kiss your perfect head.

Let me fit you like a glove,

and let me be the one you love.

If you forget everything,

if you misplace every ring,

if you can no longer sing,

let me be your tire swing.

I don't have much I can give,

but I can choose to always live

and always try to make you cry

so I can kiss your tears goodbye.

I'll try to be the perfect guy :)

Well done.

[Dalton Wagoner]

It did though! This is probably one of my favorite pieces by you. Also, I just recently wrote something similar.

[Not here]

Ooh cool :) What's it called? I'll write it.

[Not here]

read it* My bad.

[Dalton Wagoner]

Lol! It's called Heartache; it should be the top one on my page.

david, I think back to your earlier works and remember the flashes of poetic brilliance that cropped up in every piece. But then I am thankful that I've seen your writing mature to the point that the brilliance is magnified in every line.
This is such an inspired write that I'm stumbling for words to illuminate the stunning aspects of the piece. One thing in particular that I noticed how you use modern phrases ('blowing up the phone') to counteract with quaint old-time imagery (the tire swing). This illustrates the time span that has embraced your loving relationship, the now-and-forever quality.
I gotta save this one in my library favorites. And I thank you for sharing this so I can do so. take care...dan

[KittyKatgirl]

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! Lol this is written with perfection with every single verse. I have never felt so much envy for someone but your girlfriend is definitely a very lucky lady, And she had better of liked it lol. And the ending wow that is just amazing. The very last line is still in my head at this moment. I was really tired before I read this but now this is my caffeine fix. Thank you Dante there is no words that can explain how amazed I am by your remarkable talent. Every time I read one of your writing my mouth is practically touching the ground I swear. You deserve a 200/100 but unfortunately I can not do that so I'll have to give you a 100.
