I loved you-
even now I may confess
Some embers of my love their fire retain
But do not let it cause you more distress-
I do not want to sadden you again.
Hopeless and tongue-tied, yet, I loved you dearly
With pangs the jealous the timid know
So tenderly I loved you, so sincerely,
I pray God grant another love you so.
I've got to see you Wherever you are And I've got to be there I'm wishing on stars I've got to reveal what's inside of my heart But the words escape me And I'm paralyzed So helpless when I Look into your eyes
[chorus] And how I wish you only knew What I feel inside for you You probably haven't got a clue But I wish you knew How I love you baby
Honestly I know it's silly of me To want you so badly But keep it concealed See my inferiority complex kicks in And the words escape me And I'm paralyzed So helpless when I Look into your eyes
[chorus] And how I wish you only knew What I feel inside for you You probably haven't got a clue But I wish you knew How I love you baby
If the dull substance of my flesh were thought, Injurious distance should not stop my way. For then, despite of space, I would be brought From limits far remote where thou dost stay. No matter then although my foot did stand Upon the farthest earth removed from thee. For nimble thought can jump both sea and land As soon as think the place where he would be. But, ah, thought kills me, that I am not thought, To leap large length of miles when thou art gone, But that, so much of earth and water wrought, I must attend times leisure with my moan, Receiving naught by elements so slow But heavy tears, badges of either's woe. Sonnet44 -- William Shakespeare
i never knew another human life- could have the power to take over mine.... lyrics from "Baby" by Ashanti
Sara Teasdale
I Am Not Yours
I am not yours, not lost in you, Not lost, although I long to be Lost as a candle lit at noon, Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still A spirit beautiful and bright, Yet I am I, who long to be Lost as a light is lost in light.
Oh plunge me deep in love, put out My senses, leave me deaf and blind, Swept by the tempest of your love, A taper in a rushing wind.
