Bittersweetheart

"I need you"
The three words I wanted to hear
Been waiting to hear them for years
Finally, you succumb to my charms
So I ask then
Would you like to go for a drink
Or go see a band, What d'you think?
"I don't care as long as I'm on your arm"

Am I dreaming
My smile must be so beaming
So come over here and kiss me
And say how much you missed me

As the band play
I have my arms around your waist
And want everyone in this place
Just to know how in love we are
You turn to me
And kiss me in front of the crowd
I can feel jealousy all around
Cos my girl is the most beautiful by far

Am I dreaming
With this weird star-dusted feeling
Please go ahead and grab me
And then you can kiss me madly

I feel dizzy
Caught up in this passionate whirl
You came back to me 'sunny girl'
I can't believe this, after all my wishing
"that's good to hear
You say that you do not believe
I'm glad as I have to leave
I just wanted to see what I was missing"

Am I dreaming
Someone upstairs was scheming
After the feeling of hearts and glitter
The taste left in my mouth is .....bitter

Oh, my. I was

Oh, my. I was sooooooooooooooooo happy for you. However, it wrenched a disarmingly sad poem from my Millman. sniff. ~A p.s. some small edits necessary.

Sunny girl

Oh yes, wonderful, until the end. Lol. or sob. I know it may have to end this way, but what a ride, and poem. Good on ya mate, hope to see more of you, and your poetry, it has been too far and few between of late. Keep warm and get the grey matter fired. Love Lyz. XX
