Two Shorts from Back in the Day

I wonder if we can make it;
take the world without it breaking us.
Overcome the way we started;
hoping that it won't part us.
Or will we separate,
if we did would my heart break?
I just don't know how I feel,
almost like I am the clicker on the "Wheel of Fortune" wheel;
touching every feeling and emotion...
but the wheel never stops!
I wanna stop it but I am afraid that it will land on love.
love, oh love! How did this happen?

A thief of my words, the sun on my face.
The percussion of my heart, a current in my blood.
A tone in your voice, the notes of your sound,

fall fresh on a listening ear which cause me to fall to the ground.
The power you have, its not quite understood.
A simple explanation, please, if someone could!
The days have past, not one without thoughts of you.
A thought of a reality with you is opposite of blue.
The time clock ticks and tocks and goes on,
a thought, "is it with you I belong?"

A moment of confusion... there were so many thoughts that were rolling through my head. I didn't know why and had no explanation of the feelings that I felt. The only thing I could do at the time was take note of how I was feeling. I hoped that someday I might revisit these shorts and come to terms with the unclear and opaque reality I was dealing with. I have revisited and I still don't understand why! I've come to terms that there will be some emotions and feelings that have an unknown origin. Some that will never be understood. But I still try... Maybe again in a few years I'll understand. I'm so stubborn!
