Array ( [sid] => 106470 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Pretend [time] => 2005-09-25 18:55:44 [hometext] => I guess it's kind of confusing, mostly feelings and emotion I think, kind of messed up. [bodytext] => Sometime's I don't know what to say to you,
because you leave me speechless.
Sometime's I can't come to you,
because you mean so much to me,
and to worry you, is the last thing I want.
Some time's you scare me,
with the things you say and do,
because yes, I worry about you.
I know I'm hypocritical at times,
but I want the best for you.
I know I may seem over bearing sometimes,
but it's because I put you before myself,
because your my world.
I know, that I sometime's get mad,
but it's never because of you.
I'm sure I must seem, like I have a lot of problems,
and I'm sorry, I try to keep them from you,
so you don't worry or get upset,
but you worry anyway, and I don't
want you to think, I'm lying to you,
and hiding things, because I don't
trust you, you know I do.
I'm trying to protect you.
There are things you need to know,
and things you don't.
I'll tell you what you do,
and deal on my own, with the things you don't.
I know you want to help,
want to be there, make it better.
But it's never been like that for me.
I've never had anyone to talk to,
to make it better, help me.
I've taken it all on my own,
handled it all on my own,
succeeded on my own,
and I'm doing fine.
I know I'm having trouble with it now,
but no worries, I'll be fine.
I'll try to be more subtle,
so I don't make it worse,
make it like nothing's wrong,
and I'm happy,
I'll smile and laugh,
pretend it's all ok,
don't get me wrong,
I'm just trying to protect you,
and besides,
I always have before.

Nicely written, but share with him. If you don't you may end up pushing him away. I have many loves because of my facade... you're human, you need that touch of humanity in your life. I promise that everything will be okay!
/hugs you

****but it's because I put you before myself,
because your my world.

Nothing wrong with this sentence, just make sure you put God before you, and everything will be peachy keen.

Good write, thank you

I know where you're coming from, been there myself and still go back sometimes, but you need to learn trust and let others decide for themselves what they can or can't deal with. It's a huge step but safety doesn't bring happiness, sharing does. Great write.

peace and hugs, john
