Your Poetry Dot Com - My love's the same

Array ( [sid] => 165616 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => My love's the same [time] => 2011-04-02 05:05:23 [hometext] => A Moderate turned Fundamentalist - he's harmless, his love's pure [bodytext] => I would look into your eyes each day
And you’d respond in the same loving way
But now you’re merely glancing away,
Now those longed-for words you never say.
For this strained relationship, am I to blame?
Yet, my love hasn’t changed – I’m still the same.

Perhaps it is the plain clothes I now wear
Or the beard I’ve grown, or the longer hair,
Or maybe it is how I indulge in prayer
That explains your uncomprehending stare.
Oh, I long for those days to come again
When you’d glance my way and cause no pain.

Of parties and pubs, I don't often think;
I’ve given up smoking, the occasional drink
To the extremists now you probably link
My activities – which makes my heart sink
I can feel your love’s vanishing fast
But my feelings for you will always last.

When I smile at you, you choose to ignore;
I take your hand and you stare at the floor
But I always have my Lord to implore
That He settles things as they were before,
For He can heal our relationship from above,
Grant you the simplicity, and grant me your love.

I would look into your eyes each day
And you’d respond in the same loving way
But now you’re merely glancing away,
Now those longed-for words you never say.
For this strained relationship, am I to blame?
Yet, my love hasn’t changed – I’m still the same.

Perhaps it is the plain clothes I now wear
Or the beard I’ve grown, or the longer hair,
Or maybe it is how I indulge in prayer
That explains your uncomprehending stare.
Oh, I long for those days to come again
When you’d glance my way and cause no pain.

Of parties and pubs, I don't often think;

But my feelings for you will always last.

When I smile at you, you choose to ignore;
I take your hand and you stare at the floor
But I always have my Lord to implore
That He settles things as they were before,
For He can heal our relationship from above,
Grant you the simplicity, and grant me your love.
