for a day, could we close the blinds
and lie in bed? Tell stories of ships
and waves, and giant squids
under the covers, giggling,
tickling, and let sunlight turn to moonlight
once again.

Throw responsibility out the window
even though that we shouldn't
because love has overflowed
and destroyed reason
and we focus on instinct
instead.

I want you to take my hand
and force me to my feet,
we start to dance, slowly,
then closer, a bit faster,
until we forget there is music playing
but we keep going
because our bodies move so well as one.

To take away all your stresses,
your anger and your pain,
if only for a day,
would be a blessing to me...
someday I hope
to be the woman you and I
both wish I could be.

The potential is there
just need some time to grow,
but a part of me is afraid
that when the time to sprout
will be too late
and time has turned into a game
of cruel fate.

Will we wake tomorrow knowing today
we were still in love?
Or will there be a sense of doubt,
because we let opportunity slip on by,
like humans do, instead of seizing the chance,
we let other things triumph romance?

Is everything I give going to be enough?
Or is the end still yet to come?
Lets lie in bed
and pretend
that the world only exists
between you and me
and the wind, blowing the canvas
of our ship to a place of adventure and love.
sometimes late at night
i lie awake and watch her sleeping
she lost in peaceful dreams
so i turn off the light
lay there in the dark
and the thought crosses my mind
if I never wake in the morning
would she ever doubt
the way I feel about her
in my heart?

if tomorrow never comes
will she know how much I loved her?
did I try in every way
to show her every day
that she's my only one....
and if my time on earth were through
and she must face this world without me
is the love that I gave her in the past
going to be enough to last
if tomorrow never comes?


semi-inspired by Ronan Keating's "If Tomorrow Never Comes."

She asks for a break from work and responsibility - just for a day - her work ethic and need for love shines through in the first part of this poem.

A playful heart with a boundless love, she describes the feelings that are flowing through her as she experiences a love of her own.

The way two bodies can sync in so many ways is a testament to the beauty of a truly loving relationship. The stanza about dancing paints a vivid portrait in my mind and begs me to get up and start moving, as well.

Shortly thereafter, her intent in writing is to show that she wants her lover to be happy and stress free. In that, however, she doesn't feel like she is up to the task. Not quite yet. She is still learning quite a bit. She yearns to learn and to be as good as she can for her man.

A common anxiety then enters her thoughts and puts forth the question of missed opportunity and things that you can never get back. It prompts me to reaffirm that this love she is painting is one of ultimate beauty and grace. It has never felt awkward and it will always be stronger than it was the day before, no matter what.

Pretending can be fun. Reading this poem gives me the enthusiasm to do so with my loved one and only.

These words flow naturally from Cassy and are a reflection of the thoughts and feelings she has on a regular basis. I am grateful that she is willing to share and open her heart to others in a way that they can relate with their own loved ones.
