Care-less but careful(l)

Yes I admit I was careless

Seeking your hand in the darkness

And always wanting more

Too much loneliness to share

« Care - less » as in having no one to care for.

Did you understand how care-less?

Only despair in every caress

Hoping for the stranger to be the one to care

And only in the morning understanding

That it was only a nightly dare

A careless moment fling.

I was careless wasn't I?

Colliding into a glass wall of things unsaid

That I couldn't understand, my head

Unable to reason and my eye

Unable to see, although in the dark

Who needs a light?

Careless, I thought it would be all right

And just went in

Trusting myself to swim

Care-less because no one to care for,

Careless because always wanting more,

You were the one I'd chosen that night

And now I suddenly understand

How dangerous it is to seek a hand...

And now you are neither a stranger

Nor a close friend

But a presence for whom I hunger,

With you I can never be too careful(l).

Careful(l) as in full of care,

I am lucky to have people caring

And everyday a whirlwind of laughter.

Friends, I can never get to thanking

You enough for always being there,

To pick me up from the floor

And open any closed door

And embrace me when I'm feeling care-less

When I'm unhappy

Friends I go from care-less to careful(l) so easily

From less to full, from full to empty,

I apologize for being such a roller coaster

And bursting from tears into laughter,

But I prize you as the most beloved treasures,

You that I'd choose among all others

Only careful(l) can I avoid being too blue

There are things that I can never show

From careless you have entered my careful(l)

A friend like any other for which I'm thankful

But if you ever want my heart you should know

That it continues to beat only for you.
