Really Getting To Know You
We’ve been together now for almost a year.
It flies by fast when I’m with you.
I have more fun when I know your near.
I really enjoy whatever we do.
I don’t really know how I feel about you.
Your quiet most of the time.
You never talk about me and you.
You just don’t say what’s on your mind.
I know you care enough to put me first.
You’ve had your problems in the past.
For you to talk about it really hurts.
You have a pain that seems to last.
So, it’s you, then it’s me.
On & on it seems to be.
There is little left for us to see.
Do you want to move on with me?
We are stuck in one place, it seems.
Beyond this I can only dream.
I often wondered if you’ve thought of me?
Of what I’ve gone through in my past.
You never mention anything, you see.
We have to go there to make this last.
I don’t know how to approach this issue.
I don’t want to cause a scene.
If we go there one of us will need a tissue.
If I go there, don’t think I am mean.
I want to know how I feel about you.
You have to open up to me.
Communication is a precious tool.
it’s the way to set us free.
So, it’s you, then it’s me.
On & on it seems to be.
There is little left for us to see.
Do you want to move on with me?
We are stuck in one place, it seems.
Beyond this, I can only dream.—————–R. W. Johnson—–(2014)
