Summer Love (A Repost)









In the spring of love

I would sing of love
I wrote an ode to love
said it was safe to love
even said ok to love
I looked for love
I even booked a love
first class flight for love
supposed to be gone
over night for love
hopefully
for the rest of my life for love
but I ran from love
after I took a stand for love
cuz I didn't understand the love
too many demands for love
I threw my hands up at love
then I found out
what they told me about love
it wasnt love at all
it was me...
I lost my summer love
Becuz I didnt trust the love
I always fussed with love
I cussed with love
and love cussed me back
Love promised me
a big comeback
Another chance at love
a peaceful love
a new lease on love
a place to love
another taste of love
a time to love
I know....
you get what you ask for
But was it a crime to love
...it wasn't my love
but I stole the love
I told the love
that I'd be there for love
and I stayed for love
while I still prayed for love
my own love
I layed with love
I played with love
every night with love
our own place to love
our time and space to love
it was supposed to be love
it looked like love
smelled like love
tasted like love
time wasted like it was love
but...
it left a bitter taste
in my mouth
becuz it was someone else's love
now, Im mad at love
Im sad at love
lonely for love
I turned my back on love
cuz I lost track of love
and in my lack of love
is a hate for love

damn,
I hate to wait for love!
I become irate for love
It's too late for love
when you think that love
will be on time for love
It never does.
I made a date for love
I even set a plate for love
I set my watch for love
making sure I wont be late for love
gonna be on time for love
this time, my love
why did I say that...
It's getting late my love
where is my love
my summer love
...love is late again


I think the fall
is the best time for love

  1. Hey, I like your play on love :) You're a word magician.
    I think..even if love isn't on time, it can be in time..late but not never.
