I want to love someone like I loved her— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
so easy to be around, love is simple when it works
I want to love to see her eyes
and embrace her all the time
I want to feel her love by the pleasure in her smile
I want to love my love because she loves me as I am
I’m not monogamous, I could never say I was
but when I’ll love my love she’ll know our love is so true
she’ll never doubt my love I’ll always come around
she’ll never be without my love for its in my feelings that its found

Monday, May 15th, 1978Ending day— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
We talked away the end of the sun’s fade
the room grew dark and her eyes grew grey
she told me that I should leave …
there was nothing…
nothing more to say.
I can’t believe its ended now;
all the years still linger with me, somehow.
The rooms … and the houses and the faces
all the months and the places.
All my lies and untruths have come back to me now
its a hard bitter thing, to see.

Monday, May 15th, 1978I wonder where the little boy in me— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
will run to hide his head now
whose warm skirts and tender embrace
will save me now when I can’t go on
I feel so all alone, an empty day
the sky so gray with clouds
love is gone and this emptiness
that’s killing me just won’t go away
I need someone to turn to
someone I can hold and be held by
Rose, I doubt I’ll ever be sorry
for all that I’ve done
but I’ll never like losing you
I don’t understand why I’m so pressed
to do what I do at such costs
treasure, love, escape from my hand
and leave me alone
and I’ll ache for you everyday
I’ll feel, inside of me, all your loss
the empty hole where the little boy waits
and waits… and waits…
