I HAVE LOVED RIGHT
I have loved
Yes I have loved
Criticize me for all that I’ve done
Maybe
I say maybe you think I’ve done wrong
But how can loving ever be wrong
Maybe it’s the how or the where
Maybe it’s the “who”
But however, wherever, whoever I’ve loved
I have loved right
Judge not for love cannot be judged
I can tell you of my pain
And I can tell you of my joys
I can count the million teardrops shed
But the laughter remains in my head
I could express my love deep and true
Believe me when I tell you
I’ve sampled the sweet and the sour
And in spite of it all
I have loved right
I have loved
The best way I know how
Maybe
I say maybe I have loved selfishly
In shameless ecstasy
Maybe it’s not all been fair
But to love I dare
Yes I have loved, deeply
Completely and I’ve fallen hard
Though it didn’t always last
In every circumstance
Each time I gave without holding back
And each time
I have loved right
Maybe
I say maybe
I have loved without experience
But not without knowledge
I’ve lost and I’ve gained
And I will love again
Love knows my name
I have loved
And always~
I have loved right
A BEAUTIFUL MIND
I fell in love with his mind
If there were any physical attractions
I’ve by-passed them
I got touched by the heart
I fell in love with his mind
I’m not in it for a season but a lifetime
Nothing less
With thorns and weeds
Roses or musical chimes
I know we’ll be just fine
Emotions are running high
But I love this man without an indecent thought
I don’t need a lot
I share his beautiful heart
But he’s won my heart
This love, spiritual and deep
Trusted and sweet
Fills to overflow my pot of gold
And this “less” is so much more
Never have I felt his touch, his embrace
Or saliva-ed his kiss
But I bathe in the showers of his love
He’s my very special friend
My distant friend
With whom I fell in love
I fell in love
But I fell in love with his beautiful mind
I DON’ T KNOW YOU BUT…
I don’t know you but~
I want to reach out and touch you
I want to be close to you
I want to talk with you but say nothing
I want to gaze at you only when you’re not looking
I don’t know you but~
I want to be with you
I want to be deceived by you unknown
I don’t know you but~
That thrills me and I could love you, so easily
Still not knowing you
I don’t know you but~
I love the way your presence tickles my heart
Touches my being and warms my senses
I don’t know you but~
You bring out the best in me
The sweetest, most sensual part
I don’t know you but~
I like you and I want to maintain my not knowing you
Because I already like what I don’t know
And knowing more can only complicate~
That which thrills me
Deceives me and draws me to you
