Delicate Balance

by neville-johnson

It’s a delicate balance Affairs of the heart You dive in Hoping to start some permanency You give it your best Then it’s wait and see Will she be the one? Eventually? You hope for the glow That magical aura The sun, will it show? It’s a delicate balance Good luck to your heart Disappointment lurks I’ve been there Believe me Stopping at start When it was back to me When Mary left It took three years to heal Then there was Dawn Until she said “good night” And took off with Paul Don’t know why, I still gripe Ah, the delicate balance When it fails, there’s no salve for the wound You don’t give up Not without a fight You keep your head up On the alert for what’s right For that moment of warmth For that someone of worth For a love that will work For that delicate balance For true love and romance Yeah, the works
