Turtlelarke AKA The Goodbye Girl's blog: "Not Mine (Songs that fit MY mood)"

I love the time and in between

the calm inside me

in the space where I can breathe

I believe there is a distance I have wandered

to touch upon the years...

of reaching out and reaching in.

Holding out.

Holding in.

I believe

that this is heaven

for no one else but me

and I'll defend it long as

I can be

left here to linger in silence.

If I choose to,

would you try and understand?

I know this love is passing time

passing through like liquid

I'm drunk in my desire.

But I love the way you smile at me

I love the way your hands reach out

and hold me near

I believe...

I believe

that this is heaven

for no one else but me

and I'll defend it

long as I can be

left here to linger in silence.

If I choose to

will you try to understand.

Ooh the quiet child

awaits the day

that she can break free

the mold the clings

like desperation.

"mother, can't you see I've got

to live my life the way I feel

is right for me, might not be right for you

but it's right for me"

I believe

that this is heaven

for no one else but me

and I'll defend it

as long as I can be

left here to linger in silence

If I choose to.

Would you try to undertand?
