Love and me


jo©

When it comes to love
I guess I'm just a
wrong place
wrong time


right person
type of girl

It doesn't matter
where or when
I fall in love

There always
seems to be
some
type of impediment

The first
man
I really loved
loved me too

He sent me
a dozen red roses
on Valentine's day
then promptly
ran away
with an Iranian princess
and married her

He used to
come back
at least
once a year
to proclaim
his love for me

A tradition that
went on for years

Till he called
in the middle of the night
to see how I was doing

Sadly
I had to tell him
never to call again
since I was now living
with someone else
that didn't like
me
getting phone calls
at 2am

Years went by
and
he found me
once more

This time we
communicated
electronically

Unfortunately
once again
I had to tell him
good bye

He honored my
wishes and
left me
to my life

Times have changed
he could be
my
brother again

It would be so nice
if he'd
give me a call
what time
is it now
dans Paris?

In and out of your life they are, but never at the right time.

No number, Janey and he has a very common name. Puttin the vibe out there. He'll get back to me.
Thanks for the kudos. ;-)

The heart commands the head
The head commands the stomach
The stomach commands the body
The body commands the soul
The soul commands the heart

The hope is always there, day after day, and trough the day living we use these metaphors like we please. It’s not very romantic? I agree, but the hope is always there; in the heart.
Try to listen a little bit of Human League music.
“I’m only human
A flesh and bone I’m made”

Jozee said...

Yes, I remember Human League. Good band.

He was all too human, told me he'd hurt me, said to stay away, he didn't marry for love I don't think.

I know his background and the way he is .
I understand him completely.
It scared the shit out of him.

Haven't seen him in years but if he came back tomorrow we'd pick up our thread as if it had never been dropped.

Some people just get into our souls.

Soul mates

Jozee said...

Yes, soulmates. From what I understand we all have hundreds of soulmates. Not necessarily lovers but people that accompany us around and around through multiple lifetimes.
