Now that it's over I guess it's for the best Lord knows we put this love to the test I'm sure that if we were together the arguments would start but it's hard to tell that truth when you have a broken heart Do you ever think of me? When you're alone with your heart Do you think of me? We thought this would last because we started as friends maybe that is the reason we came to an end They say lovers are better no commitments to be had but if that is the story then why do I hurt so bad? It's funny because if you were here today I swear I'd tell you to go away So many times you have made me cry Why the hell do I want you to stay? Do you ever think of me? When you're alone with your heart Do you think of me? |

for some reason, I would say that the answer is "yes". . . but yet. . . does it really matter?? you know that I liked this one Jeff. . . speaks to a lot of things. . . and a lot of people. . .you write the feelings here well. . . ---------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

I'll tell you I've been thru this...we all want our big opportunity to love and when we get it we blow it...we need to keep trying til we get it right...if not with this one with the next one...and we do keep trying until one can stand it no more and bails out...James |

Another one of life's wonderful paradoxes... and another wonderful universal question we all wonder at different points in our lives, "Do you think of me?"... Stands to reason that if we think of them, they think of us... at least, that's what I'll choose to believe... A genuine write and a stirring read, Jeff. -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

My God but I can relate to that one!!!!!!!! Beautiful poem, and I too agree with the rest, I believe she is thinking of you as well. I also believe it make her heart smile to know that even after bad times you are thinking of her. |

What an excellent write of a permanent thing that happens in so many relationships. This was extremely well done. Enjoyed. ~If you have a choice to sit down or dance, I hope that you dance~ |

Wow! What can I say? I didn't expect such an outpouring of support and understanding when I wrote my "sad little poem" lol. Thank you all - I'ts very flattering and heartening to know that so many of you can relate to what I'm saying here. VAS, Marge, Cindi, Mark, innocence, shadows, I hope that y'all are right and that she does still think of me...although I can't help but wonder.. Am I being selfish by still longing for her attentions long after the relationship is over? Sven, hmmm... you bring up an interesting point, my friend. I'd have to say that given the fact that she has moved on with her life..ultimately, it doesn't matter. But part of the problem I am having with this is that I just can't "shake" her. It's not that I want to forget her..it's just that she had (and still has) such a profound impact on my life and my heart that I can't seem to get past it. Is that a sign of weakness on my part or is that an indication of a love for someone that "will never die" (to use the melodramatic cliched term lol) James, hmm.. but how long can one be expected to keep trying when each time that he or she tries they leave a part of their heart with that person? (again..melodramatic..but it makes the point) And as for bailing out... I can't.. giving up on love is anathema to me. Mysteria, You have touched on one of the things that troubles me most about feeling this way... the permanence of it...the irrefutability of it. Thanks  - Jeff |
