I want to really bad, <br /> but, I just can't, <br /> and I know that you shouldn't either, <br /> and that is as tough as life can get, <br /> ... out here on the internet. <br /> <br /> I need to walk away, <br /> because, I am smarter than that, <br /> ... and so are you! <br /> <br /> I must walk away, I say... <br /> I have to - - - <br /> I have to walk away today! <br /> ... but, I don't want to. <br /> <br /> There is nothing but my brain, <br /> that tells me this is right, <br /> too many listen to the foolish heart, <br /> and end up in the wrong place. <br /> <br /> It just happened with a foreigner, <br /> that what you needed, sounded right... <br /> What exactly were you looking for? <br /> that you couldn't find in your own life? <br /> <br /> I want to really bad, but can't, <br /> and want to keep you as a friend, <br /> it is not that we made love for real, <br /> or anything like that... <br /> <br /> Why don't those words sound right? <br /> Where is that damned instruction book, <br /> ... to life?<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-just-can-t-3/
