the Nickster

It's been months since I've tried to forget you
forget what we shared; forget that I cared
But the past 20 years seem recurrent~my thoughts I can't undo
I remember as if it were yesterday the first day that we met:
...

I heard the right words:
I'm sorry...
I have strong feelings for you...
I don't want our relationship to end...
...

I walked alone through the paths one night
When a hurtful thought came into sight
An un-kept promise I had made to the Lord
Now raced through my mind and left me insecure
...

I remember a time when everything was simple-one could call a 'spade' a spade
but, somewhere down the line, we have changed-not necessarily for the good, but a change nevertheless...
We have become politically correct, but our youth have lost respect
We trust God when terrorism strikes, but prayer in school isn't liked
...

KNOWING you is a pleasure
for your traits are beyond measure
EXUBERANT, free-spirited, Saved & loving
It's the thought of you that keeps me going
...

Beautiful is the bird that sings
with speckled colors and tiny wings
To fill the days with inspiration
and bring Joy to this annual occasion.
...

It's the way you look; the way you smile
I dream of you: my perfect guy
You make my day doing little things: You call it our nature hike
I call it spending time with my Boo
...

I see you, and I'm speechless
you take my breath away
Forgive me for just staring, but my words have gone astray
my heart is beating overtime 'cause you're having a 'Cute' day.
...

Your voice echoes from afar
I hear the lyrics of a sweet melody
Your alluring scent beckons me to you
I smell a tiny piece of Heaven on an ordinary day
...

One day I will tell you what I really want to say
One day my heart will not be guarded for Truth to spew your way
One day my eyes will lower and my hands will fidget too
One day my heart will race as my throat evokes what's due
...

I was told I resembled you-your name was on the tip of their tongue
I have tried to forget you the way you have forgotten me, but I can't
I wonder WHY
Why does every TV show remind me of you
...

I love you because you are you
I love you because you see in me what I do not see: my strong & weak points
I love you because you never failed to be around
even when I overlook-sometimes forget-you
...

To my child of many years, I wish to speak of your history...
I was there when you were born & and was the first to call you son
See, it was during conception when I dubbed you Anointed One
The years have gone by and you seem to forget me
...

God, is it I who can by your might
lead, strengthen and guide by walking in you Light
Can I see and explain the things of you
Do I have the humility to make it through
...

What if I told you: You mean the world to me
What if I told you: You make me want to be a better person even though I thought I was pretty good already
What if I told you: You mean more to me than drumming
What if I told you: Even my worst day becomes a great day after talking to you
...

If I followed my heart-I would be where you are
If I followed my heart-I would start your day with a 'Good Morning, Beautiful' text instead of the normal 'Good Morning, Sunshine' one
If I followed my heart-I would call you just to hear your sweet sounding voice
If I followed my heart-I would dance with you often
...

They used to be good friends while in fair weather
But after 'the Storm', no longer together
He said, 'Don't bother me 'cause I can't be the One'
Instant parenthood awaits' a night of fun
...

I thought about the things I've done-
How had I benefitted from their outcome?
I remembered doing some things for good reasons
While other things engulfed me for a season
...

Looking back on yesterday, I see some things that need to change
In my life of twenty-one years, there were times of quiet tears
For experiences that should not have been-I wish to God that He would send
An angel of amazing power who could wash away the hours
...

I remember when first we met
two youngsters in teen years
We got along because we had to
but church end began the jeers.
...
