One person made a difference
because he loved me.
One person believed beyond the surreal,
uncovered the layers,
no, he did not turn away.
It was me who turned.

One person….
poetically,
unconditionally,
lovingly
changed my life.

One person opened my hands,
held them,
touched them,
kissed them,
and yes, I believed in the love.
How can I not?

Now, I walk a corridor
alone.
I must…I have to.

Why?

I have to close a door.

Yes, I closed the door.
for in loving someone
you sometimes have to leave
to keep from hurting them.

I will open the window
because
I can barely breathe.

But I am alive,
because of him
writing,
feeling,
forgiving,
healing and
remembering

and always, always smiling.



-befriend yourself and you will never be alone-

(thank you.....thank you

Yes I know the feeling only too well and a nice little write too.

I breathe the dust, the dust is me.

Very deep and emotional write here, Lady.  I know exactly how you feel.  It's never easy even if you know it's for the best to close that door.  May a new door open to you soon.  

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
