Somewhere In Time

Posted by James Browning on

The right two people met at the wrong time. Each of us has a commitment to someone else. Those relationships are troubled but only when they’re over can we have a life together. We have to say goodbye my darling until our love can be honorable and honest. L.S.

It’s right that they don’t know
And it’s only right
…that I should go.
But if you’ll wait
I’ll wait too.
I’ll wait all my life
… and more for you.
Somewhere in time
I will swear you’ll be mine
Cos’ I love you,
Love you true.
From “Somewhere In Time” recorded by Lisa Stansfield

Is That OK?

Posted by James Browning on

At night I dream of you. Thoughts about you bounce in my head all day. You’re my sister’s best friend and have been in our lives since we were little. I’ve loved you for so long I can’t recall when it started. I wish I had the strength to tell you and find out if you love me too.  L.K.

You can make believe it happens
or pretend that something’s true.
You can wish or hope or contemplate
a thing you’d like to do.
But until you start to do it,
you will never see it through
‘cause the make-believe pretending
just won’t do it for you.
Fred Rogers

From a Distance

Posted by James Browning on

Yesterday my Momma said ” Sweetie, if she does not care why should you? Don’t keep fightin’ for a woman who will not fight for you in return. Life is too short and there’s someone out there who will be just as interested in you as you are in her. Move on so she can find you.” R.B.

Cause I loved her from a distance
Like an angel watching from afar
I never had the nerve to mention
The fire burning in my heart.
I knew a boy like me
Never would’a stood a chance
So I did the best I could
And I loved her from a distance.
From the song “From A Distance” by Corey Smith

No Bridge In Between

Posted by James Browning on

You were in my dreams before I ever knew you. I was shaken to the core of my being on the first sight of you. I yearn for us to know one another. Maybe we’d fall in love. But you’re with another and my ethics will never allow me to say a word to you about my hopes. A.W.

Love, he told himself,
was open to interpretation
like any other abstract indulgence
but followed the same principles everywhere…
One, either won or lost in love,
there was no bridge in between,
and he decided he had lost,
lost to himself, if not to her.

Never Goes Away

Posted by James Browning on

Loving you was not the first time I’d given my heart, nor will it be the last. However, there’s something unmistakably unique about what I felt for you and feel to this very moment. I have resigned myself to it never changing. From a distance I will always love you. J.B.

Thinking of you is easy.
I do it every day.
Missing you is the heartache,
that never goes away.
Michael Pryce

On My Knees and Beg

Posted by James Browning on

I don’t let anyone see, but I cry at times when I think of you. If I’m alone it’s easy to give in to missing you, wanting you and loving you. After what you did that makes me a fool, but I don’t care. I’d get on my knees and beg if I thought it would get you to come back to me. D.H.

I have stood before you
Smiling and loving.
I have laid beside you
Naked and blushing.
I have knelt behind you
Pleading and begging.
I have cowered beneath you
shaking and crying.
I have closed my eyes
bared my soul.
quenched my dreams
lost my pride…

The One Lodged in My Heart

Posted by James Browning on

The years pass. I stay alone. Women used to come in and out of my life all the time as I searched for another love better than the last. I let you get away, but later realized you were “the one” in my heart; the one I loved. If I can’t have you, I don’t want anyone. E.T.

Ask me why I keep on loving you when it’s clear
that you don’t feel the same way for me…
the problem is that as much as
I can’t force you to love me,
I can’t force myself to stop loving you.

Slowly Starving to Death

Posted by James Browning on

The world contains less color, food has less taste and life lacks meaning without you. My mind wants to hate you for leaving; for hurting me so badly, but the love I have for you in my heart will never let it happen. It feels like my soul is slowly starving to death without you. C.C.

…Lost in your heart, lost in your eyes
Lost every day, no map to follow
Entire days, weeks, a blur
Flickers of light, in the darkness,
Only to be enveloped in shadows once more…
Peter Winstanley

Drown What’s Left of You

Posted by James Browning on

Often I wake knowing I’ve been dreaming of you again. I relive good times or spin new make-believe ones in my subconscious. Then there are dreams when I hear you say again “I love you and forgive you, but can’t forget what you did. I can’t be with you anymore.” A.O.

So bring on the pain
Let it kill your memory
Bring on the rain
Let it drown what’s left of you and me
I know the only way I’m ever gonna make it
Is burying the best of us
Even though it’s killing me
Cause I don’t love you any less
But I can’t love you anymore
From the song “I Can’t Love You Anymore” by Gary Nichols
