Cycles
She did what she did until the others had a chance to settle and the house became quiet.
(For the Love of You [Pt. 1 & 2] – The Isley Brothers)
A Tiger’s Stripes
She kept hoping to see her friend.
But they all treated her like a stranger.
Steamed
She did not like being messed with.
(Eyes Of A Stranger – Payolas, 1982)
(Late Night Radio – NIGHT TRAVELER)
My Reflections
Knowing Your Soul
Goodnight, Love
May we meet again, soonest.
(Give Me Your Fire, Give Me Your Rain – The Paper Kites)
Hazards
“Of being an introvert, used to spending too much time alone within copious inner realms…”
I Struggle With
“My own disbelief.”
I Got Angry
Because it hurt to miss you so much.
(All Together Now -The Beatles)
I Am Better
Processing after moments, than within them, when I am in public with emotional “tension.”
He Was
The star of her show.
She Knew
He liked attention.
(Mr. Electric Blue – Benson Boone)
Opposite Effects
Wanting to be good enough for him somehow ended up making insecurities exacerbate.
(Man I Need – Olivia Dean)
(Surefire · NIGHT TRAVELER)
My Promise To You
“5 Feet Apart”
(Fever – Jerro ft. Runnung Touch)
The Danger Is
That I might love you too much…
Do you care?
Do you want it all?
Squirming
Inside her shell beat a heart that didn’t want to quit, and was excited beyond boundaries – whisking her soul along for the ride, much to her chagrin’s propriety, yet hopefulness.
(I know, but it kind of makes sense…)
You
Get under my skin.
(Multiple meanings)
(Electric Love – NIGHT TRAVELER)
It Comes Down To This
She wasn’t going to leap if she didn’t know.
She couldn’t know if he didn’t tell her so.
No inferences would be strong enough.
No hints despite magnetic desiring.
She had to know without a doubt to prevent doubts from being their undoing.
How Was It?
That she still did not know? he wondered.
(I know, right?!)
Strength & Weakness
She sometimes did not take herself seriously.
(What Are We Waiting For – For King And Country)
Shivering In The Cold
She understood why people took the leaps – and damn the consequences.
She just needed to be sure that she was vying for the right heart behind the facade.
Oh, Yeah…
“He’s beautiful, to be sure.
And has massive magnetism.
But does he consume everything in his path?
I won’t be another discard victim.
The guy who get’s me has got to want me.
I’m done with being a part of this system.”

(Unsure who is real or posing…)
(Begin – Shallou ft. Wales)
Aching For Truth
“What do you think that I’m doing here?”
(Night Call – Years & Years)
Do-You Think-That?
“I would settle for someone other than you?”
You Just Gotta
“Understand me.”
Please, Step Forward
“Will the real MacGyver?”
Would It?
“Gain me anything to allow myself to feel resentful?”
Why Do I Do It?
Maybe I’m not a unicorn, at all
But something else – entirely
None Of It
Was easy for her.
Respect
She had to defer to his timing preferences
For she knew nothing of his circumstances
Love Is Love
Love is love
Is love is love
But I need love
Inside my blood
The heat of hope
Pulsing with trust
Two bodies close
Becomes a must
Repeat Cycles
“How did I get myself into another distance, unavailable relationship?
This status is nontenable.”
Understand Me
Why had she locked down again?
She hadn’t expected him, was caught by surprise.
Every day, she longed to see him again, thought about how she could do things different if she did see him again, tensed up to rally against her locking up.
But she knew that she might just freeze again – and she couldn’t bear to have him leave again.
No, no, no – not again, please.
“This time, just stay, walk toward me, and hold out your hand.
Knock on my door, or on my window.
Help me unthaw.
Help me bridge to our new land.”
She Was Too Shy
To send it directly to him.
