Take a step back

Take a break?
We are always on a break
Being able to see you
That's when I wonder if i'm dreaming

Take some space?
All we have is space between us
When there isn't space
I start to wonder if I will wake up and it will all vanish

Take a step back from each other?
You are a 100 miles away from me
I never know where you are
And if you'll come back

I should watch my words before I say something mean?
I have said so many hurtful things
You have just never been around to hear them

I should stop before I cry?
I have cried so many tears
But you were always miles away
Not caring

Take a step back?
I'll do better
I'll run in the complete opposite direction
 

Author's Note

This guy who I have liked for a while who always is too busy to follow through on anything he says he'll do, pushed me over the edge the other day. Now he is saying we shouldn't fight we should just take a step back from each other. But our whole relationship has been one BIG step back from each other. And I am done!

If something doesn't work, try to fix it... once. If it still doesn't work there is a very very good way to get rid of it... Bye-bye... see you never then. I was going to say though... that also works for material things... but you use gasoline and a match XD.

Either you are a couple and together or your are not and aren't...seems pretty cut and dried to me. But don't waste your time on someone who wants to play mind games...if he wanted you...he'd want you all the time...simple. But when you aren't around anymore...he'll want you back...but don't fall for that, it's just an obsessive, posessive reaction...not love. LOve wants the other person's happiness more than its own. Just my two cents worth.

Well, I don't know what to say, but I can admit this is a lovely poem! I don't know how you and the guy you love was in what exact situation, but it seems you are too busy to see each other! If you really DO LOVE this guy, well, maybe, go a step back? But if he offer you a toooo big step off, well, just.. ignore him then.

at first I was thinking to myself, you should just leave this guy, so I'm glad that the last stanza said that.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Well it takes two to make a relationship work, and if he's not willing to work toward that relationship like you are then it's his loss! Great poem!
