I wish my hayfever would stop

by harrydog   Sep 7, 2006


I wish I could get my hayfever to stop,
But I know not of any cure.
I wish I could stop my eyes watering,
But I can't, coz I've lost something so pure.

After a year and two days, we've called it a day,
But I actually think I lost you before, somewhere along the way.
I knew it the Wednesday before last
When, not even an hour had passed,

When you took your phone, and left the room, to call,
I knew then, baby, that I was not your one and all.
So I tried to make our last few days memorable
But I knew someone else was making your eyes sparkle.

I knew our time was up,
Unless I could find the strength
To leave my life; my comfort zone,
And start my life with you, instead.

But alas, my courage is still lacking,
Despite how good we could be together.
Babe, I just hope you remember
That I'll love you forever, and ever.

I hope that this new man gives you everything that you need,
Coz to me, you are truly amazing,
And I know we have had our share of ups and downs,
But you always made my heart sing.

It sang 'Catherine' out so loud,
Hell, I want to tell the world what a special person you are,
But it's my weakness that has caused us
To grow apart so far.

So, angel, this is it,
It's time, now, for my final bit.
Why is it always September,
But I have so many things to remember.

September 2nd, when we kissed for the first time, again,
It was then, that I realised that you weren't the same
As anybody else that I had ever met.
I lost my heart to you, and that, you have kept.

Then there's October, a month that's so bad for you;
A month where I promised I would help you feel less blue.
But yet again, it's a promise to you I have failed to keep.
Baby, please forgive me for being so weak.

Then there is the month to end all months.
A month that I will never forget,
Where you gave up everything you believe in
To, as always, look after the man you love and protect.

I don't think that I have ever been that worthy
And you know I fail to see what you see in me,
But baby, things could have been oh so different
If only you had confided in me,

Babe, there is so much that I'll never forget,
And I promise you, if you let
Let me make you feel special once more,
Let me be the one you adore?

I know I shouldn't ask this of you. I really have no right,
But I really do want to be the one to hold you through the night.
Catherine, my angel, I don't know how to go on.
I am half the man now, now that you're gone.

    A nice write .... a man in love, writing to his lost love ... but once again I make the same comment, try reading it as a reader and not the writer - detatch yourself from the pen - If it is meant to be you will find the strength, but you have to look for it.

    Thankyou. Time, only time, will tell.. Patience? Who has any when lonely nights are plentiful, or when we try to find strength to move on. xx
