I keep checking and checking,
watching and waiting,
but
the only thing I'm receiving is,
I can't
so I can't either
in public

Pretty.
six letters
the way only you can make me feel
so now that feeling has washed away, like a million tiny waves
never to be seen again
like the loving look and wink I always knew was waiting across the room
Gone.

i know i messed up,
and i know you probably hate me,
but i said i was sorry,
and i really am.

"don't you know what she did to me?"

at least i'm not holding a grudge over something so silly.

d.l.b.
