For my girlfriend
You're out of sorts,
not your usual self.
So quiet in the morning
is not the typical way
you greet the favorite
time of your day.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
"Nothing," you answer.
But your smile is not convincing.
I recognize the signs.
I also have times
when my fears collide
with my confidence
and it's hard to know
which is the winner.
Those are the days
I wander through
as though I'm in
someone else's skin.
And if I'm asked why,
I can't explain.
So I do understand.
Your usual self
is not here now
and needs to be
away for a while.
Take your time.
I'll be right here
when you return. _________________

Alot of people in relationships don't realize this..which causes alot of problems..the poem was beautifully written..good job! _________________ To really love a woman
To understand her
You gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought
See every dream
Give her wings
When she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman

Insightful write...well put...we should come with warning labels, shouldn't we. You captured normalcy.

Goes down on my knees and thanks Cooks for dragging this out and Lemons for writing it. So many times I have no answer to her concerned questions but "nothing" and it helps to know that someone else has felt this too
"I also have times
when my fears collide
with my confidence
and it's hard to know
which is the winner
I wander through
as though I'm in
someone else's skin.
And if I'm asked why,

Patience, faith, love and time ..............hopefully they will get us both through.

wow ... someone's been digging in the archives! LOL
I'm glad this was dusted off & brought back up so someone could get what they needed from it.

Lems,
I'm glad they bought this back!
I missed it the first go round - and I have no idea how!
*smacks forehead*
This was a fantastic write.
As someone else said - you described normalcy.
I think sometimes we all have to go through times of escape & then when we return, its nice to know our loved ones will still be there.
Love & miss ya - Hella hugs,

just the reminder I needed today...that we all came with this understanding built in and at the forefront of our responses would make love and relationship so much easier to manage...finding that place of acceptance and patience for another, and knowing yourself in surrender to her...can love be any more complete
