He leans over to kiss her lips
She turns her head away to say –
My sweet dear, we’re not meant for this
My heart belongs to another
He begs for just one kiss
She reaffirms her first response
She says “I feel for you my dear,
But not as you feel for me
For my heart truly belongs to another”
He sits back
With a hint of tears in his eyes
What does he have that I don’t he cries out to her
She Cries out:
My heart
My soul
My hope
My fear
And my needs
He’s quiet, but he knows just what she needs and what he means to her
He’s everything she needs
No fighting
No crying
No wasting time wondering what to say
Just a wish for more time to come
She says to him slowly hoping it will hurt less
“My dear, someday I’ll walk your way
And then right there at that very moment you’ll glance at me and say
“My dear, I’ve been waiting for you so long
I hope we’ll never again be apart”
He then replies
“My dear I’m not going anywhere”
I Love You But…©
