You don't have to say you love me, I will understand ........

What a girl wants ............
sounds kind of silly from someone in their 50's

but I do think that deep down inside of all of us .....
we are forever girls.

I think that I would like some honesty ......

don't make promises that you can not keep

or tell me lies that you
think
that I want to hear

hold me while I cry inside
for a world's indifferences

recognize that I have a bleeding heart
for all of the most liberal of causes
that I am creative, resourceful and whole

recognize that I do have a brain
and that most days it works quite well
and in fact
at times
in warp speed
in great magnitudes
with over whelming volumes of information

but most of all
I want
you to recognize
that I never would have said
I care
if I didn't
and would only like the same respect back ......
