Love vs. Hate

Love vs. Hate

(written in may '96)

- I clearly was smitten with a boy...sounds so intense. i can hardly remember ever feeling this dramatic, or this much of a romantic. but when I was in high school, trying to get the intensity out of my mind,  this is what I wrote.

___________

falling further every day;

wishing yet knowing that you'll stay

i long to be at your side

holding me close in your arms

swallow the sorrow of yesterday

i swallowed it down

now i can say

i'm falling further every day;

falling for you and your ways.

i'm falling in love...

i will now say....say it aloud...

i'm not ashamed

cuz i love you

at least i think so

i thought i know so

we can fear such a wonderful thing

its special; my heart longs to feel it

feel it in return

i think i found the one who can be

closer to me yet closer to you

i'm never alone

i'm alone all the time

i need to rely on myself

on those i trust

but do you rely

i hope no one steals my love's heart

why do i question

if you rely on oneself...

you hurt and cry and try

try to be alone

how can i be alone

i'm surrounded by love

Love VS. Hate.
