You made your choice theres nothing more to say. I believe you love her I never doubted what you felt But you and I both know you are only her daydream lover She will never give you the time and love you deserve Its a weekend game, a fantasy to make her life bearable And you give to her all that you are Throwing away a lover who is willing to go the distance But you made your choice and I'll walk away But I cant promise to stop loving you And I wont promise to be here When she lets you down again. There is someone who deserves this love I have Someone who will know I am no fantasy. I believe in me |

Paula~ FIRST you ROCK girl! takes a lot of courage and self love to do what you are doing. i know it hurts like hell (i've been there) but I am very happy to see the direction you have chosen. one day this person is going to be very sorry for how they have treated you...but if only people knew that sometimes its just too late. *sigh* anyway, excellent poem!! take care. amy "The head learns knew things, but the heart forever more practices old experiences" |

All too familiar to me, too, Paula. Excellent writing! I love it!! sp Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'it might have been.' -John Greenleaf Whittier |

Paula, Never stop believing in YOU. You have so much to offer a very lucky man someday. Stay strong and keep writing from the heart. It will never fail you. Powerful writing there, it packs a punch Wise man say "Those who live in the past let the future sneak up on them" and "Make each moment count, it could be your last" |

"But I can't promise to stop loving you... and I won't promise to be here, when she lets you down again." Very nice Paula...exactly the way I felt not too long ago when a woman friend told me to wait...and I foolishly told her "don't make me wait to long" and she said "I won't" and she did. I suppose I don't really believe in waiting...but I do believe in Love....and Paula I do believe you will find a mutual Love and you will sing in the sunshine and you will laugh...now I know you won't believe me until it happens...but I can clearly see that you believe in yourself and my hope is that all your dreams will come true...James |

It's such a shame that some people cannot see that the grass is not always greener on the other side. This really touched my heart as appox 1 year ago my husband left me and was seeing someone else. He wants me back now and I don't know if it can ever happen due to the extreme amount of hurt that I had to deal with at the time. I BELIEVE IN ME, TOO!!! THANKS FOR THE PICK ME UP!! |

First let me just say thank you to you all for your support and friendship. It means more than I can ever say. Sea..thank you...I think it is just my stubborn scottish pride that is keeping me going Maureen...thank you hugs are most welcome Amy...thank you...it would be nice to think he may come to regret the choice he made. sp...I am sorry to think you too had to feel like this. Tracie...Thank you...I appreciate your hugs Mark...it seems I am geting good at moving on huh? Jeff...I just hope the punch lands where it was meant and he sees how badly he hurt me...and maybe just maybe realizes he was wrong James...my wonderful friend...you have been my strength and I want you to know how very much I appreciate you. Kitkat...I thank you for your concern and the extra special effort you made to let me know Susan...if I was a help I am glad Charisma...thank you...if I can help anyone thats great. |
