I would like for you to like me
your approval would go down fine
but when push turns to shove
in this fast paced world
the only approval I need is mine.
I would love for you to love me
you know I’ve invested some time
but when I turn out the lights
and relive my day
the only love that I need is mine.
I know I’m not an island
I’m not living burden free
But I have learned one thing
through all my pain
the only one I can change is me.
There was a time
when you could rule me
when your words
could pierce my soul
but now I’ve learned
that I’m ok
and now I’m in control.
I would like for you to like me
I would love to call you mine
but one thing’s for sure
my long lost love
without you I’m doing fine.

Excellent poem, Lori. It's nice to be liked and admired by others--but you have to be yourself, even if it pisses someone off. Great message. Your writing has progressed a lot. Love it.
I loved him. At age twelve he touched my heart with his music. At age twenty he captured my heart when our eyes met as he sat on a stage and sang Four months later, he fractured my heart with his refusal to allow us to stay together. At age seventy
