A Lifetime With You

It seems like
another world
another lifetime
when we were two.
I remember thinking
all my troubles
would soon be over
because I was going
to spend the rest of my life
with a beautiful woman
such as you.
Sad to say
it didn't work out
exactly that way.
And now I only have
these memories of you
to see me through.
Sometimes I wish
I could live my life
all over again
but do it a lot better
the second time
that I passed through.
And than perhaps you would
let me stick around
and I could spend
a lifetime
with you.

James hi there Your writing is incredibly beautiful carrying within it an indefinable quality that shows the worth of love and speaks of its loss so well. YOU are incredibly talented. Your writing is incredibly descriptive and well presented and when you write with your hearts ink you surely shine.

This is superb writing, and it will stay with me for I’m keeping this special treasure piece of yours.


Love and warm stuff
As always
Krissy

And while thy willing soul transpiers
at every pore with instant fires

This is beautiful, James....I am so sorry that you are missing her, though....
Maybe soon you will find someone else to take away your pain...I hope so.
