WHAT DO I DO

What do I do when I see you again,

It's been well over a year, are my fears at an end?

To put it all behind me move forward to be free,

then first thing you say to me, is your still in love with me.

You touch me and I tremble, but you know just what to do,

knowing just how to please me, things only you knew.

Wanting the touch you give me, from the passion long ago,

bringing back the passion that we both so fondly know.

Holding back you listen, you listen to what I say,

its so hard speak the words, when you look at me that way.

As I'm trying to make you understand, my tears begin to flow

knowing what I say to you to what you ready know.

What once you choose not to admit, now you let it show,

I say I don't belong to you, you have to let me go.

You ask me what I want, I tell you to be free,

There was a time I held on so tight, how funny, now your me.

You say your with another, give her all you can,

let go of the love for me so we both may try again.

The Pain, the hurtful memories the scars there all still here,

To put it now behind us, is what I've longed for through the years.

I feel the pain I felt back then, when letting go of you,

It's just as hard as loving you, thinking love would get us through.

I understand what your going through, but what do I do?

I can not live my life in fear, indeed it hurts me too.

Thinking forever would never die, the love...it never did,

Always looking through the glass never taking off the lid.

Release me from this sealed jar and free me from your heart,

Let me feel life once more, now that were apart.

Your love must stop to possesses me, from the distance which you stand.

We wished each other happiness, as you gently kissed my hand.

The tears began when you walked away as we said good bye once more,

What do I do with this wave of pain that surprised me at my door.

I guess there's still some love, I my self must set free,

I truly loved knowing that your still in love with me.

I'm leaving behind the old, to bring in the year with new,

thank you for showing me the love I had for you.

Good bye this time my love, a memory to Last forever,

knowing that we've come this far, proving never say never.

May time bring us happiness, each day a brand new shine,

knowing now I'm safe in your heart, as you are in mine.

What do I do, to do what I do, with what I have to do,

finding that peace of mind and making peace with you.

Thank you for the love you showed me and the special time we shared,

Thank you for this freedom, It's nice to know we still care.

Love,

Me

THANK YA KINDLY,
