parting the reeds in the lake of love (exercise #20)

For the one who deserves to be my one

There are several that disagree

And I have to agree (but not really)

With a logical argument for love and why

You have to remember, it's based on hope

But I have spoken, chosen

And she deserves to be my one

I'm so sorry, that I have to leave you

behind

But that's what love is

It hurts, it heals

It will have it's way

I still love you, but

You're one step down on the tier

I am hard to be soft

You can't see me over the phone

But I close my eyes in pain

When

I try to let you down easy

Years later we'll meet again

It's dark and lonely on the street

And the past is in focus

Would you hold my hand?

Will you be my friend?

the hook (exercise #20)

The Hook is when you know a girl is into you.  The Hook is when you got that girl wanting you once you've got them hooked.  You just got to reel them in which means you spend more time with them; you show them you are not an asshole, but someone who she can talk to, that you care and you're not just in it for sex.  The Hook is a tricky thing to learn, it takes years to master The Hook.  But once you got it down, you are the guy that every girl wants.  But you need to hook the girl and reel her in and the hook is a long process.  When you hook them, you got it.  You may or may not like to date but it's a great way to get a girlfriend.

you & i (exercise #20)

You, everyone of you stand around me

So close

But I'm so far away

You lied to me

I believed in you

I lied to you

You believed me

You, you, you

It's all I hear...

You

• are a liar
• a traitor
• s thief
• kind -hearted
• gentle and sad
• are an obvious mystery
• are as changing as the sea

Never

You were never there for me

The person I needed you to be

You never told the truth

You never saw the truth

Thank You

Thank you for the pain,

It made me strong.

Thanks for the memories,

I hold them close to my heart.

Thank you for everything.

Goodbye

You said goodbye

But your not really gone.

You said goodbye

Forever.

So now it's time

To let you go.

goodbye

respect (exercise #20)

What do you really know about respect?  How would you treat someone?  How would you want to be treated?  I think if you are with someone you love, you should give them the same respect you want back. Treating someone with respect is the most important thing to do.  I used to treat the people I was with with so much respect.  But I never got the respect back, so I needed up changing.

 

I lost my respect for a while until I found the right person.  That changed me.  Now that I have respect back, I am respectful.  If there is no respect, there is nothing else.
