Eternity

[vaneramos]

At the piano bar
smoke belching from the lip
Miss Goodwill sings so high
I can almost see.

And all the silly love songs
make sense to me
now that I know how it feels
to be needed.


From Anne Murray:

I cried a tear, you wiped it dry
I was confused, you cleared my mind
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me

And I can't believe it's you
I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave, why should I leave?
I'd be a fool 'cause I finally found someone who really cares

You held my hand when it was cold
When I was lost you took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again
You even called me "friend"

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me

You needed me, you needed me

Beautiful words. I've been hoping for more of your poetry--thank you for sharing this.

Have a great time in Toronto! so when are you relocating? (just kidding--sorta)

Thanks, Shim. This one has been brewing for several days.

As for relocation, I'll settle for temporary weekend ones for now.
