[net.poems] another try...

  Sorry about the last abortive attempt, my modem was very nasty and when I
logged back on I was still in the editor and didn't realize it, so I hit a
bunch of keys and that was enough to post.

   (probably needs a title)

Oh, when to look
    and when to stop.
	I waited for a sign.
Lost
    in a quagmire of emotions
	I waited still.

Then you came along
    (surprise, surprise)
	and shot me down.

I followed
    the line of reasoning
	to you.
I waited for your feelings.
    I waited
	for my own.
Now it's clear
    to me.
	I've surrendered
to you
    to you
	to you.

Left alone
    with my thoughts
	I reflected
inward
    upon myself.
	I dreamed.
I woke to you
    sleeping
	by my side
and all
    was
	quiet.

We've little time together.
    We'll separate,
	so please:
Don't forget;
    Smile at me
	love me girl
	and
hold me,
    hold me,
	hold me.

Don't look back
    or ahead.
	There's just now.

So,
    freedom justifies
	nothing.
Encouraging you,
    I
	stopped.
Try
    to justify
	me.
Try
    not
	to.

Just
    be
	yourself
	and
don't forget;
    Smile at me
	love me girl
	and
hold me,
    hold me,
	hold me.


Any advice, criticism, etc...
