IN A NUTSHELL

You know
That I love you
I know
That you love me
And for that, I am grateful
But love doesn't automatically mean forever
And you cannot have forever without love
Separate entities, dependent on one another for their ultimate survival
But I digress
I'm afraid once you get to really know me
You will discover that
I am flawed
My dimples don't always show
I don't always smell great
And I don't have all the answers
I know what I know
And that's it
But I know you know that
But because I've learned so much from you
I remain hopeful
You are so wise
I find that you are just as deep as me
No...deeper!
I so want to see life through your eyes
I bet the colors are just spectacular
And despite all you've heard
Youre still here
I have yet to scare you off
And you haven't run away
Why?
Because...
You know
That I love you
I know
That you love me
And that's it...
In a nutshell

IN OTHER WORDS...

I want
I want to be
I want to be important
I want to be important to someone
I want to be important to someone who doesn't care
I want to be important to someone who doesn't care
about importance

I want to be important to someone who doesn't care
about importance of political correctness

In other words...

I don't want
I don't want to be
I don't want to be important
I don't want to be important to someone
I don't want to be important to someone who needs
I don't want to be important to someone who needs permission
I don't want to be important to someone who needs permission
to have

I don't want to be important to someone who needs permission
to have an opinion

In other words...

I don't want to be right because you're tired
And I don't want to be wrong because your friends say so
You've got guns - and you should stick to 'em
But just because you got 'em
Doesn't give you the right to blast me
This ain't the wild, wild west
And I'm not the new sheriff in town

In other words...

I'm out

Peace

THE LAST TIME

I don't know when the last time will arrive
That the sound of your name will make my senses come alive

And I surely don't know when the last time will come
When you say that I'm clever when I often feel dumb

Don't know the last time I'll hear your sweet laughter
Sounding like rain falling until the morning after

And speaking of rain, as drops pelt the ground
Is when I will truly miss having you around

As much as I hate it, there will be the last time
That I hear your passionnate words set so perfectly to rhyme

I really don't know which one I'll miss more
The last time you walk into or walk out of my door

I'll miss looking across the room and catching your glance
I'll miss the last time that I see you dance

Graceful as a swan...beautiful as a dove
I'll miss the last time that we make love

The last time I'll caress the curve of your hips
The last time I feel the warmth of your lips

The last time I hear you say hello and hear your last goodbye
When will the last time be that I see you cry

There will be a last time - don't know how or when
That I won't be able to experience you again

There will be a last time - don't know when or how
But until that last time comes, I choose to love you now
