You intrigue me 
by making me feel 
like I can deal
with being alone.

Giving me the chance to listen 
to the tones of the wind, 
the rustling through the flowers and trees. 
"You love me" calls the gentle summer breeze 
amidst the bright shining sun. 
And I feel at once, At Ease. 

So stubborn am I to accept you 
being so important to my self esteem. 
When I'm with you I'm quite keen 
to the calmness of your serene silence. 

So many times I have ignored you 
and your courageous words
to only find myself miserably lost 
in the infinate shadows of unfinished thoughts 
that have been carried away by the noise 
and the fuzz of inevitable chaos. 

Far far away you call me to stay
And I do return to your solitude
Where I can straighten out my thoughts 
Welcome back to me oh peace of heart,
and don't leave me.
Give me another chance
to start my conversation with you.
No Romance, Just a Chance
to Be Free and Happy at last.
