Don’t Nothing Change But the Clothes I’m In

Happy Valentines Day – XOXO
By CM

 I think about it all the time
What we could have been
I tried to show you what I felt
But you couldn’t comprehend
 
Your smile, your eyes, your laugh, your size,
All of the above
Helped to bring me what I didn’t understand
That thing that they call love
 
The little time I had
To try to make you mine
Made me realize your all around beauty
And I think about it all the time
 
If I could change what I did
It would only be for you
Steadily hoping that you’ll still be there
When my time is through

    The poem has a universal appeal. So many times in my life I have wanted to go back or find a way to gain truer understanding with another soul.

    Wow, CM this is beautiful.
    I wonder what it will be like for me when I find love, and when times goes on genuinely appreciating the small things that matter the most about that person.
    I appreciate this poem so much.
