Not On The Same Page

When you feel it’s so right

And it never tasted this fine

He fills up your life with joy

He makes your smiles shine

And your heart skips a beat

Every time you hear his name

And yet deep down you know

He just doesn’t feel the same

What do you do? What do you do?

What do I do?

He just doesn’t feel the same

Comes close, makes me breathless

Holds tight, loves me reckless

Then he goes, he’ll come again

I don’t know when

I would love, I could love, I should love every day of my life

He’ll shut me down, run away, hide away if I say the word wife

He makes my heart burn, lights up my flame

What a waste, what a shame, is it me that is to blame?

Is this the new, the normal way of lovers?

Only truly together when you’re both under the covers

Then each goes their way until the next time

I grew up thinking this was just a love crime

Nowadays is this just the way things have got to be?

A man in your life is no longer a monopoly

Is it the new love, to pretend you don’t see

That he sees no reason for loyalty?

What do I do? I’m so in love

He just doesn’t feel the same

Comes close, makes me breathless

Holds tight, loves me reckless

Then he goes, he’ll come again

I don’t know when

What do I do? I’m so in love

He just doesn’t feel the same

I remember when I was young. My boyfriend’s grandmother said about men and marriage, “Why would they buy the cow if they are getting the milk for free?” It was a very old fashioned idea, I thought at the time. Yet, I found later in life if I concentrated on the life I wanted without considering a mate, I found that I learned to love myself. Then, I never wondered again if the reason someone didn’t love me as much as I loved them was something I said or did. When you least expect it, that person you were meant to marry shows up. And it just might be the one you love now when he sees you love yourself. I loved your poem. It shows true emotion we all feel at some time in our lives.
