Eva's Poem

FROM EVA YARGER:
I walking down state and I looking around watching all the people wondering if they know the one I know

Then I feel my knees start to weaken

I am walking around watching all the people wondering if they know the one I know

When I am with you I know, I know that you are the one I will have all through my life

I just look at you and I fall face down on my knees and say I love you love you then you pick me up and say you don’t have to fall down for me to love you I will always love you love you

I stand and start to catch my breath knowing one day I will turn around and see your hand reaching out to me

I am looking in to my reflection in the glass window and I think of the day you come back and I slip away in to your world without a thought in my head

I know when I am with you I am on top of the world and I need nothing else

I am sitting here on the beach watching the waves crash on to the sand and I think of drowning I think of drowning in a ocean of your love I think of the water of your love feeling my lungs

Then I start to turn around and walk away and I feel your hand on my shoulder and I hear you say don’t be afraid its only life and I will walk you through it just don’t look away from my eyes

You tell me over and over again don’t lose your faith don’t lose your faith over these mistakes we all make

They ask me why are you fooling yourself He’s not real and I tell them one day I will turn around and I will see His hand reach out and He will save me from it all

I know that it won't be long before all this pain is just a memory in my head and I am standing next you I know it won't be long and you won't be a dream anymore


You're just something I can't explain I watched you gently tear the rough layer of the surface of my heart and make it soft once again

I stopped to catch my breath because you have been on my mind you have been all I can think about
I know that when I doubt you I am only fooling myself

I know that I can't survive alone in this world I know that in order for me to live on I need you

I know one day I will turn around and see your hand reaching to me to take me home with you

You tell me there is no need to second guess I have you and all your love right here in my hands so you have nothing to worry about

You let me know that even when I slip away into that world that can only pull me down that you still have a hold of my hand and your not letting go you tell me you will never let me fall

You ask me why don’t you stay awhile in this spot you're in because its doing you wonders

An that’s when I know that one day I will turn around and see your hand reaching for me

You tell me life is only a stepping stone and you have to take one step at a time and not put too much pressure on it or it will sink

You say but if you sink I will pull you out you let me know that your love is only as think as you allow it and if you do allow it then you will see its never ending

I think that I am lucky to have some to fall asleep on their shoulder but then you tell me I am lucky to have you even lean on my shoulder

You say don’t spend you life wishing just listen to my words and you will be fine so stop wishing for life to be ok because I am here and its just fine
