Watching...

Watching...

 

 

In the distance as two lovers become one,

Oh how the moon does cry.

 

The clouds block the sunshine,

as the rain tries to wash away their essence.

 

Quietly I weep for the watcher,

wishing I could take away the pain.

 

Trembling from the fear they will find love,

from afar.

 

What could I do but watch the watcher.

Aw says who ?

[ron]

You are kind Vidya. But its true, and no one had to say it, I just know its true.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Well look at you with your crystal ball and all the answers about the future .

[ron]

No just my personnel history. I was an Analyst in the Army so I can analyze some things.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Well then I guess you have all the answers lol

[ron]

Lol not all the answers, just some of them.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Well at least you have some I am still clueless :)

[ron]

No one is clueless, they just need to see things from a different light some times.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Well ,hmmmmm I think you have a point there .Walk in other person's shoes or something like that.

[ron]

Something like that. We must see who we are from another's point of view from time to time. Allow those whom you trust to help guide you through the pitfalls of your life that you do not see.

[Vidya Bacchus]
