Mister Forty Fifth.

Mister Forty Fifth.

A Poem by Lydia

Mister Forty-fifth on parallel lines

From your heart to mine and across the universe.

I worry you'll forget my face and

Find a place in someone else's arms.

I'm trying not to think,

But lullabies have long since failed,

And drinks don't do so much.

I'm trying to toughen up,

But it's hard without you here.

 

I love you more than anything

And I love you more than everything.

I'm wondering if you like it there,

But I'm too scared to ask.

I wonder what you're thinking,

And if you've still got those feelings

For a boy on the forty-fifth parallel.

 

I tell you Miss Seventy-Five with

Your eight hour drives,

I never doubted we could make it,

I just didn't think you'd ever go.

But now I know and now I'm

Mister Forty-Fifth while you're

Somewhere in the Southern Sun

Having fun without me.

 

I still love you more than anything,

And I love you more than everything.

I'm wondering if you love it there,

But I'm too scared to ask.

I wonder what you're thinking,

Just please tell me you've still got those

Feelings for a boy on the forty-fifth parallel.

 

You're gone, you've left

You know I didn't want you to

I just didn't know how to stop you

I said I wouldn't and never would

But now I wish I would have

 

I love you more than anything,

And I love you more than everything.

I'm wondering if you'll come back here,

But I'm too scared to ask.

I wonder if you're thinking of me,

If you've still got those feelings.

 

Miss Seventy-Five, if I had

One wish, I'd love to make you

Misses Forty-fifth.

this kinda sounds like someone who's caught up in a long distance relationship and doubting one's self about whether it would work out. i liked overall though.

In a way, i think this is an ideal situation for someone in the Marine Corps., or any other armed forces.
A relationship would be pretty difficult.
This also remind me of people on the internet, that meet people in a far away state or country, and then claim to love that person, but that love is slim considering the distance.

i loved it.
