Love Story

I think ours has the making of a great love story.
There's you, there's me and there's the tragedy.
Ours is not the complexity of a family feud
nor of difference in classes.
No, ours unfortunately is much simpler;
its the battle with common sense.
Go to school get your degree, get your masters,
be paid to work anywhere else but home.
And it seems fate has kissed our destiny goodbye.
I want you to know
even if we don't ever get our happily ever after,
I would gladly go through it again;
the months away punctuated by long distance calls
that ran through our money faster than it did our passion,
the nights we whispered our fervent 'I love yous',
the already short holidays that grew wings
as if they too relished our anguish.
Days where we tried to snatch every second
the sun threw us like a lifeline
because we knew it wouldn't be long before
that fiend time would come again to tear us apart.
If common sense has its way,
I want you to know
It was worth it, loving you

  5. i am convinced that you are my twin
    you have to be
    because that's the only way that you can write my story in your words and pierce my heart

    the only difference is that if this doesn't work
    i don't think i will be able to look at it all and say yeah it was cool and good

    u are stronger ooooo
    i need to sleep

  6. I feel your pain and im touched by your story and deeply sad about how the slender body of joy breaks all too soon. My belief in life is always that if someone was ever meant for you,they surely will always come back.Let her fly..Let her fly ..and if she's meant for you...she'll fly back into your cage..

    Best Wishes..
