I Need Some Time

by A l y s s a   Oct 23, 2007


I can't believe you told me, although I'll admit, I kinda saw it coming.
I'm sorry I didn't know what to say, or how to respond.
I was scared. Scared it'll happen again.
What if I can't trust you? What if you're just like 'him'?

How do I know if I can depend on you? How do I know you won't change too?
What if I'm not who you think I am? What happens then?
I don't want to be the fool again. I can't handle being the loser.

He messed with me. He screwed me up.
I'm sorry...It's not my fault.
I want to take a chance with you, I really do.

I don't want to be just 'another girl' to you. I couldn't take that.
I want something meaningful, something that'll last.

When you're close I say stupid things, I feel like a fool.
But you never seem to care, I kinda like that about you.
You think I'm perfect, but you need to understand the truth.
I'm so far from perfect, I have so many flaws.
I want you to know the real me and I want to know you.

I want to take the leap, but I'm not sure I can.
How do I know you'll catch me? How do I know I won't fall?
And what about the other girls? Is that going to stop?
I don't want to be pushed aside when you find someone better.
But I don't think you're like that, you're not like him.

I love it when you call me beautiful, even when I'm not.
You alway say the right thing, but is that the same with all the girls?
Do you smile at them the way you smile at me?
Do they get butterflies too when they see your face?

I'll let you know that I'm not into sharing, I'm not that kinda girl.
Why is it left up to me? I can't make these decisions alone.
I need some time. I need to think. I need to pray.

We'll see what happens...

    Thats exactly how it is with my bf atm, he calls me beautiful too.. mhmm..
    he wrote me something and its so sweet..
    um its:
    you will always be the one i wake up for from jan threw to december, the one ill never forget but remeber. The girl who brightens up my day with the words you say. You are the chance i took with no second look, the poems in my books. i thought i was tuff but you are the first real girl to make me blush.

    I can actually relate to this poem the whole 'another girl' thing. its happened to me so many times, but i never learn from my mistakes. but it seems like your taking more time to think about what your doing before you do it.
    Anyway
    Great poem, not sure about any type of scheme, although you probably just wrote it from the heart, i do that sometimes. but other then that its a really good poem.
    good work
