Absence makes the heart grow weaker,
Withering like a neglected flower,
Thoughts of her make bleak days,bleaker,
Stretching long the drawn out hour.
Prelude to a sleepless night,
Faded memories of the distant past,
Pondering my perpetual plight,
Though there is hope as this silence lasts.
Searching for some lost holy grail,
An apocryphal spark that burns like fire,
Making me prove life's worth, knowing if I fail,
I'll prove myself only a fool, a liar.
To fill the void, I hang my hopes on this,
Only time will tell if she exists.

Very good, Tony! Don't be afraid of failure, though. It is only proof that you tried! Then get up and try again!!

Tony I am sure she is out there...sometimes we have to look beyond the wrapping...

If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

Only people who never get out of bed never fail.  Fear of failure is the single biggest immobilizer in history.  Tenacity is the word of the day.< !signature-->

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

Tony, you never know where she may be, maybe right under your nose...things happen in funny ways   Never give up...(and this piece of advice comes to you from one who just got booted out of her relationship and house and dream, all at the same time!)

Keep the dream alive in your heart, dear one. You never know when fantasy will become reality. Much love from me to you.

Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. http://path2riches.com
