| CYCLES OF LIFE AND LOVE I want to study your strengths and weaknesses. By knowing you better I learn so well To know what's inside me. Your eyes, my hair, Your laughter, my tears. Your teasing, my fears. When I get serious I see how much you upset me You play me like a violin I dance to your tune. Looking back, I see I've been going out with guys Who all remind me of you Now that I know this I have to change it. I don't want to repeat the same mistake. I love and hate you. I can't let you rule my life anymore. When I look at you I see myself. I don't hug easily or cry a lot I don't like sharing nor caring what anyone else thinks. But then I see where I'm different. I love flowers and animals Colors and music. I see you're too much like me. If you saw yourself the way I see you - Would you want to change? So maybe if I try to focus on what I really want in the man I plan to spend the rest of my life with I can think of what I like or hate in you And use that to measure other guys to see how they stack up. Does he show affection Does he laugh easily Walks and movies, music and food Everything reflects Building blocks, Stumbling blocks The so called "wise ones" narrow it down to sex and money In my few years of knowing this, I know� We look for our parents when we look for our mates The cycle continues, we pass it on. Maybe I'm looking for someone else to take your place To show me the love you show in the only way I know Cold and uncaring Your laughter, my tears No touch, no hugs Just teasing and frowns I plan to break the cycle this time. I want to be smarter, stronger, wiser, luckier. I want to be loved. |
