Ms. Practicality Relinquishes Control of the Ship
Heather has a Bachelor's Degree in English from Moravian College and has been freelance writing for more than 12 years.
Started out a logic minded creature who believed in
The bottom line of facts and figures inside daily life
Avoided the emotional messy contents of a romantic love grab bag
Always preferred everything in spill proof containers anyways
Feared of internal circuit boards being exposed to the masses
Smashed into pieces by a callous gigolo who used and abused
Often in tandem to get maximum effect before he strutted off
To find a new mark to repeat the same Dateline ridden cycle
Found a potential co-captain to make traveling the galaxy worthwhile
Didn't expect to fall head over heels into this romantic whirlpool
Cautious to admit my feelings for fear of driving him into another ship
Co-piloting a different mission with someone with a blasé approach
Towards a long lasting partnership on and off the ship
Speculated when the independence became a co-dependence
Was there an actual difference between the two
Transformed from a no non-sense captain of the Enterprise
Into a lust ridden 16 year old looking to connect on Lover's Lane
Giddier than a school girl obsessed with the latest teen sensation
Even though their cellophane wrapped saintly image was a mirage
What lied underneath was a flawed flesh and blood man
Prone to slipups and flights of fancy with any pool of groupies
That threw their red laced undergarments at them on stage
Or the machinations of a certain Mrs. Henderson from down the street
Often wondered what this humanized superstar with the natural swagger
Saw in a mousy logic prone and fear stricken tourist
Never sticking out in a crowd of scantily clad Victoria's Secret models
Pondered what made this female Steve Urkel type stand out
Jittery and anxiety ridden at the most random of moments
Exacerbated by lack of sleep every once in a while
Have been repeatedly told that too much analysis has taken place
Over this prospective partnership and its future
Time to let nature run its own obstacle course
Letting the chips fall where they may long and short term
Flying without a clear or discernable map worked thus far
Let's continue on that same journey and not worry so much
Easier said than done, but will give it a shot nonetheless.
