I thought I knew

I thought I knew what love was before I met you.
I thought I knew what desire was before I met you.
I thought I knew what a soulmate was before I met you.
Then I threw it all away
Because I was confused and in pain
But because the pain I felt not having you was more than I could bear
Like a limb or and organ from my body I tear.
I won't put myself through that pain again,or you.
It'll take time this I know, but I've nothing but time.   I'm in for the long haul... I'm forever yours.   That's my solem promise to you.  Stronger than the last one because I can't take the pain of losing you again... Ever.

Slave to....

I'm a slave, I'll never be anything else.  I'm a slave to something/someone wonderful however.  I'm a slave to my love for a wonderful woman.   I tried to do something I'm not proud of and won't go into it here.  You want more you'll have to read my previous blog entries on the subject.   In any case I'm a slave to love and to her, my Alicia.  I'll never be master of my heart as long as she's master of mine.
