Do That For Me Then
October 24, 1998
Is there someone around
who is designed to tell everyone
what the problems are, and what you
have to do to solve them
people
like that would have been found
a while ago, if they existed
there would be no more
violence, there would be
a loving caring feeling among
people of different beliefs
maybe people
wouldn’t have such strong beliefs
That’s where the problems
come from
The problems come
from having ideas, having theories,
thinking they’re the right ideas,
and then acting on those ideas
without checking your premises to
see if they were even the right ideas
I’ve done that
I’ve hoped, maybe it
wasn’t exactly hope, but I thought,
that everything would fall into place
and everything would have a happy
ending for me
I’ve discovered that
after all of these years those happy
endings haven’t come around, and that
there is no reason to have hope
But on some levels it’s true
People want someone to deliver flowers
to them, for no reason, other than because
you wouldn’t expect it and it would
be nice
People could say something
nice to you, out of the blue, to
brighten your day
Wouldn’t it be nice is someone you knew
came up to you to tell you they loved you?
I mean, you know they love you
but it’s nice to hear
I think men don’t get that
They don’t remember that
women like nice things for them, even if
it’s not expensive
if it’s not
something they’d normally think to do
I like nice things done for me
I want someone to call me when they
said they would
I want someone to
tell me I’m worth something
I’ve wanted that for years
