\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Persistence<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want to get up in the morning.<\/p>\n

I just want to lay here in bed.<\/p>\n

Life anymore is so boring.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t get her out of my head.<\/p>\n

I tried to be what she wanted of me.<\/p>\n

I tried to be someone I\u2019m not.<\/p>\n

Only I found that all I could be<\/p>\n

Is myself, who was lacking a lot.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And every hour I crave you.<\/p>\n

I want you with all of my heart.<\/p>\n

I would act like the fool.<\/p>\n

I would act like I\u2019m smart.<\/p>\n

I would lay open my heart.<\/p>\n

But, all I get is rejection.<\/p>\n

Nothing to soften the blow.<\/p>\n

A lot like a crooked election.<\/p>\n

Am I on my way out of the show?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I understand what has happened.<\/p>\n

I know now why were apart.<\/p>\n

Nothing to do with old fashioned.<\/p>\n

My heart was dead from the start.<\/p>\n

I drag out of bed and get dressed.<\/p>\n

I look at myself in the mirror.<\/p>\n

I certainly don\u2019t look my best.<\/p>\n

That much is definitely clear.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What must I do to be with her?<\/p>\n

I have to get myself straight.<\/p>\n

Whatever I do, I must be sure.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s going to be something great!!<\/p>\n

That much must be made clear.<\/p>\n

It has to be more than a date.<\/p>\n

I will whisper my love in her ear.<\/p>\n

She will see that my love cannot wait.——-R. W. Johnson —–(2012)<\/p>\n
