I Wrote This One For You (Part 3)

She cries night after night

After another long fight

With the day she just went through

Nothing seems right

Nothing seems true

When you argue with something that has control over you

She tries to make it right

She tries to put up a fight

She feels she will always lose in the end

She wonders why continue on,

Why must she be strong

When all seems to have gone wrong

The hope in her heart

Seems more torn apart

With each and every twist

The faith in her hands

Would like to make plans

But she is worried she will screw them up again

She has dreams every night

Of a life that is so right

Where she will teach what she has learned

Helping who she can

Inspiring them to become all that they can

Finding out what she loves

Means so much to her

She knows she will never give up

She loves to paint, listen to music, and read

It all gives her a chance to be free

Lack of having what she needs

Makes her heart want to bleed

When that boy is still what seems a million miles away

She'd love to stay and play this 'silly game'

But she lost faith that it will ever stay the same

What she doesn't know, is what he knows

And what he feels inside

She'd love to get to know

What it is she needs to know

But she can never find the time to just listen to him say

That he knows what is true and thinks of everything she can do

To make her life Ok if only for today

He wants a long-term commitment to a realtionship

She never knows what she needs to do

And she prays

She prays day after day, looking for the words to say

If it is answers she needs, I will beg and I'll plead

"Will you please listen to what I have to say?"

"I feel I know the answers, for I love God like you"

"I think I know how to make your prayers come true!"

"Live like you love it, love like you live it"

"If someone needs a helping hand, give it"

"Everything will turn out ok..."

"I promise that everything will be ok..."

She will listen to him another day

And he will never forget just what to say

She should know that he loves her

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Part 3... more to come still, still FOR you, this is still only part of what I know.  Still my gift, please never let it go. I never stop thinking about what I know about her, never stop thinking about her.  Every thought makes me smile.

again, unbelieveable. i like this one more because its deeper into my core. i love it, i love to read about myself from a different perspective, its so mezmirizing. i've read them all at least a dozen times by now. when i saw their titles and only one was critiqued i felt odd and almost obligated to read them, so i did, and low and behold their about me! i feel terrible for not critiquing them sooner...but i feel i have benefitted more from reading them now...so thanks again, for this awesome gift.
