Where is My Love?
by Jerry Pushie
Where are you girl? Are you alive?
Each night I wonder, while I look at the sky...
Are you out there? Will my dreams come true?
One night I'll hold you, while I look at the moon...
We can go fishing, camping too...
Stare at our fire, & Thank god I'm with you...
When you are hungry, I will make food...
Breakfast in bed, Warm blankets too...
When you are cold, you have me to hold...
Don't let me go, Can we die old?
Together we share our hearts and our prayers...
For us and our family, let’s not be scared...
To show our emotions, and our hidden tears...
For we have each other, you know that I care...
I'm 18 years old, blue eyes brown hair...
I will wait a life time, just to hold you near...
I'm hurting inside, Wondering where...
My love could be, maybe she's scared?
Could she be hurt? Is she writing to?
Poems like this, I know can be true...
You can't write like this, if this isn't you...
I'll spill my heart out, any day for you...
Some day we’ll meet, I'll show this to you...
So you'll know I Love You, Do you Love Me to?
