Surprise Me!

Barry Van Allen - Conspicuously Absent

2014-11-07 3 Dailymotion

You are conspicuously absent from the dynamic
conversation, that we have been having - - -

That tells me one of two things:

(1) You have finally figured out what a 'jack - ass ' that I really am ..

OR

(2) Things are not going as well as they seemed the other day !


... And I am hoping that you have me figured out !


Because, otherwise that means that you are going towards
major sadness,
... and although I have never seen your smile,
I am going to feel your breaking heart, somehow!

You will put that in your sentencing for a while yet to come,
If that were only me, I wouldn't care, ...
but, I suspect that there will be more than that,
and even more than that ...,
- - - until your pain's undone...
a little bit! - - - perhaps!

I believe that you'll outgrow it,
but that doesn't help right now! - - -
... Anger is a step along the path,
that you will travel for a while !

Your sweetness will return someday,
but, when it does...
will anyone be there to enjoy it with you?

Your'e an independent woman,
sometimes a little dependence on someone else,
... is not really a bad thing!

Barry Van Allen
