The Last time.

[DavidMc]

The last time.

When was the last time
He told you that he loved you?

held your hand and smiled;
told you that ‘you’re beautiful’
and didn’t treat you like a child?

When was the last time
That he hugged you close
To feel your beating heart
Spun some verses into rhyme
And didn’t treat you like a tart?

When was the last time
He just loved you as a fact
And didn’t try to block
Your reclamation act?

When was the last time?

I so love this one...I always have...Always stops my mind in it's tracks when I read it...

Very good questions asked here. Excellent write. All to often people take advantage of another and forget to say I love you once in awhile.

I don't remember the last time
He told me "I love you"
Or held my hand
It would have gotten lost anyway
in the critism of the day

Its scary..
if he died today
I would more in likely rememeber
thats my bottom is too fat
or that he doesn't like when i cook
this or that

I would more in likely remeber the sadness
of every birthday he forgot
or the nasty way in which he fought
or the times he turned me away
when I just wanted to love and play

I never thought whee I took the vow
that my life would be as it is now
I would give anything for it to be
as it wa then..
If he would just hold my hand
and tell me
He loves me again
