Array ( [sid] => 6165 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Change your plans [time] => 2002-11-04 00:00:00 [hometext] => What do you do when you want to comfort someone when they're upset, but the reason they're upset upsets you too and trying to comfort them, kind of makes you more upset? [bodytext] => Lately things have been bothering you.
I can tell you’ve been depressed.
When it come to this, trying to comfort you,
Has really got me stressed.
You see the people around you,
Moving forward with their lives.
Some having children, starting families.
Others becoming husbands and wives.
I know these are things you desire.
I know seeing this has you upset.
But these are things I’m offering you.
They can be yours if you’d only accept.
I want to comfort you, but it’s not easy.
Because I want these things too.
And I know you and I could be on our way there,
But I’m still waiting for you.
So when you’re down and I hug you,
In an attempt to ease your pain,
I start to think, “but this hurts me too.”
And my heart begins to strain.
I want to move ahead with you,
But you’ve anchored yourself to the past.
I want to fulfill these desires of ours,
And I think you know we’d last.
You say you’re still confused.
You want to make sure you choose right.
But I know you can see this vision of mine.
Or I thought so the other night.
I asked you where you thought we’d be,
If we had let this relationship, naturally advance.
You said living together, possibly engaged.
I agree, so give us the chance.
If you had given us, the chance from the start,
Engaged by now, is what we’d be.
But you’ve weighted yourself down, with all your fears,
Just let them go and come with me.
The answer you seek will come to you,
If you’d only take your foot from the breaks.
These things you want are calling for you.
Why do you still hesitate?
So sometimes it’s hard for me to sympathize.
Because your fear, I no longer understand.
I know you expected these things, from someone else.
But sometimes the best thing to do, is change your plans.

Beautiful write curtis
Try not to let yourself get
so weighed down in your
love for someone who
drains all of who you are,
where one day you feel
nothing but
numb inside.

O.K. here goes. I've been reading through your poetry tonight, because my interest was caught by a comment I read in another poem of yours. You write excellent pieces. The pain and emotion just drip off the words. This situation you're in really inspires your writing well.
So, here's a thought, just a thought. Please don't take this in a bad way, but just read my poem Sacrafice and you'll understand what I'm saying. PM me if you don't. I've been there before and sometimes it's glorious.

oh you guys!!! I just wish you'd get together!!! It seems so easy for me to see, but I know that it hasn't been that easy for ya'll... (and to answer another post on here for a comment... yes she posts here too)... oh... argh... I know that you will move forward soon. It seems to much of a waste to waste your whole life waiting to know the right choice, when in all reality it's a blind leap of faith.
