you're already leading me on
I'm sick of saying good-bye
and I'm afraid my heart is gone

it's funny to feel this way
to be thinken about you
not knowing what to say
not knowing what to do

you sit & feed me a mind game
not knowing if you want it
things just aren't the same
I hate this *****

what are you afraid of
I'm not asking for your life
I won't play you or pressure you into love
I'm not trying to be your wife

Forget what your friends say
its you and me
do you want to live that way
them telling you how to be?

Let's give it a chance
you never know
I'm not even trying to get in your pants
so pleaz go with the flow [comments] => 5 [counter] => 610 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Ophelia [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Woah this is pretty good...I can relate to the person you are talking about because I have been that person even though it might sound bad, but I actually did like the guy, it's just what my family would say and I think I may have done what your poem is about and i regret it cause I still like him but can't be with him - complicated...great poem brings back memories...

Oh geez how can i even begin to say i now exactly how this feels....fear my friend is one of the biggest destroyers of relationships......my heart goes out to you.....Good write with such a strong expression of how you feel...I hope this person that you write this about stops and really thinks about what he/she has because it's sad when one waits till it's to late to have back what was right in front of them the whole time.........
