This time, I am not asking you to go out. <br />I am not asking you, my angel, to be with me. <br />Tonight, <br />That's right, <br />I am going to lie back like a dummy, <br />Who is speechless and who has no clout. <br />The ball is in your corner; <br />The ball is in your court. <br />It is evident that I am not too short <br />To play, and to shoot right at the center. <br />This time, I am neither asking <br />Nor begging; I am praying.<br /><br />Hebert Logerie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-time-i-am-not-asking/
