in and out

tried to post this earlier but couldn't get re-connected until now.

on the days that i know
without any doubt
that things will work out fine
i can let go the worry
release the muscles in my back
and swing my hips freely
as i walk with confidence

on the nights that i cry
without any arms
that keep me warm and safe
i can let go the tears
release the sorrow in my veins
and feel the emotions freely
as i wait the hours till dawn

on the evenings that i laugh
without any question
that i realize it's all so good
i can let go the holdback
release the guffaws and hoots
and echo the sound freely
as i let you know i care

i can see why you think
certain things you do
but i think i fell in love
because you smell like the one
i should always have
it has nothing to do with
who you are
what you are
or aren't
what you have or don't
it is just an instinct
i know you feel it too
why do i resist so strongly?
you call me stubborn
because how could i dare
to hope that it would
really be the deepest love
and the finest of pairings
that anyone could ever know?
because to imagine myself
in the arms of true love
is overwhelming and unreal
it's far beyond
what i could ever really hope
even though i dream
every single night
of you winking at me
letting me know
that all in time
everything will come to be
everything will come to me
and i don't have to worry
that you won't be there
because it's guaranteed
you always are
behind me

    Thank you for your poem.

  • All through the night
    I'll be awake and I'll be with you
    All through the night
    This precious time when time is new
    Oh, all through the night today
    Knowing that we feel the same without saying

    We have no past we won't reach back
    Keep with me forward all through the night
    And once we start the meter clicks
    And it goes running all through the night
    Until it ends there is no end

    All through the night
    stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back
    All through the night
    They have forgotten what by day they lack
    Oh under those white street lamps
    There is a little chance they may see

    We have no past we won't reach back
    Keep with me forward all through the night
    And once we start the meter clicks
    And it goes running all through the night
    Until it ends there is no end

    Oh the sleep in your eyes is enough
    Let me be there let me stay there awhile

    We have no past we won't reach back
    Keep with me forward all through the night
    And once we start the meter clicks
    And it goes running all through the night
    Until it ends there is no end
    Keep with me forward all through the night
    And once we start the meter clicks
    And it goes running all through the night
    Until it ends there is no end
