I want to forget him, truly I do He's gone, that is fact, I live with it now All well and good to get on with my life The only flaw in the theory is how. At night, my dreams overtake my intent He comes to me real as sun in the sky Then longing controls my waking for days Desire oppresses, I know not why. Deep in my heart, I cannot let him go my arms weep to hold him closely within I long for moments in time that are gone Is happiness just somewhere I have been? |

Is happiness just somewhere I have been? I have often wondered the same thing Sandra, and have come to the conclusion that we make our own happiness... I truly enjoyed this piece. ~ hugs for happinessLyra |

Sandra....not an unfamiliar feel...and it often doesn't seem to just fade and go away. Something always seems to bring it back to our face... Excellent write...enjoyed.. |

Dear Sandra, another sad piece, but enjoyed. There are moments when crying can help clear your sight Your honesty haunts you and knows what is right There are many afraid to just try something new But Sandra that’s something that you’ll have to do The living on past is killing your soul You must make amends to make yourself whole Forgetting the ghost which now haunts you each night Ask your heart to let go and to do what is right For out there there’s someone awaiting your love And someone to bless you does wait up above There are years yet for sharing and worth every fight For Sandra, fate knows that it should do what’s right I wish you all the luck I can wish. Sincerely Rick Try to empty your recycle bin of the heart. |

happiness is where you are. . . even if it doens't show that way on the map. . .  ------------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Oh but I felt this poem and thought that Rick's response was excellent Sandra. However, it is sure easier said than done, and time heals all. An emotional write. The most valuable thing you own is a smile, wear it, and share it. |

Sandra I don't know that we can ever make ourselves feel it......maybe sometimes we just gotta sit back and let it happen. You are a treasure Cat, hugs to you. |
