Long, Long Time

Love will abide, take things in stride Sounds like good advice but there's no one at my side And time washes clean love's wounds unseen That's what someone told me but I don't know what it means. Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time Caught in my fears Blinking back the tears I can't say you hurt me when you never let me near And I never drew one response from you All the while you fell all over girls you never knew Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine And I think it's gonna hurt me for a long long time Wait for the day You'll go away Knowing that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay And life's full of flaws Who knows the cause? Living in the memory of a love that never was Cause I've done everything I know to try and change your mind and I think I'm gonna miss you for a long long time Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time. ======= Things are the way they are. For whatever reason, we fall.. mostly unexpectedly and sometimes - madly. Then we either get lucky, or we don't. The only way to survive and stay afloat is by practicing a deep level of maturity and the key is acceptance and choosing to value what matters the most. I chose not to destroy - but to cherish and nurture... - Terri http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB7T3lJ3dZ4 =======
