.gif) If only I had known those moments would have to last.... I sit here with dreams...looking tenderly at our past I would have held you longer that morning in our bed I would have listened closer to all that you said The night we watched dawn kiss the moon I should have held you there.....long past noon Every kiss would have been longer and deeper Now I find myself prisoner of the dream keeper Please.........send me a moment to hold in my embrace Yet still my arms are empty... I pray time will race Holding you close and getting lost in your eyes Just counting the stars shooting across our skies This time apart has taught me how to live each day Because you don’t know how long those moments will stay To be back with you and make each moment gold Just listening to you breathe.....shall never get old ~T and L.....May time have wings for you both~ |

This time apart has taught me how to live each day Because you don’t know how long those moments will stay To be back with you and make each moment gold Just listening to you breathe.....shall never get old Your words are so beautiful but the sentiment shines even more. Your heart knows no bounds. Wonderful read there "SIS"  |

BDC, all I say is Ditto what MArk said because I am in stunned silence after reading such emotionally charged words. "I am melancholy, flower cutting through stone" manic street preachers |

This is wonderful my friend. God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

every word...every line...every rhyme this couldnt touch me any more if it was engraved on my heart.. god this is just perfection from your pen, heart and soul... it is butterfly kissed and angel blessed... I am printing this out and releasing it into the wind at sunrise... I know it is written for someone else but there is butterfly with whom I wish to share it... thank you... ~Butterflies Are Meant To Be Free... love you for this one my SS JM There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

This is beautiful ,butterflies, and can apply to so many things...a broken relationship, death, anything that separates two people who love each other. Regret for not having kissed a little longer or held a little stronger is a very powerful and sad emotion..... |
