Soon Enough


The time would come soon enough
When you would no longer be here
I would no longer be able to call you
That was my greatest fear

I promised you I would always be there
But, how can I when you pushed me away
The tears continue to flow from my eyes
And my heart is hurting me so bad today

I do not think you really realize
Just how much you meant to me
Now, I can not even be there for you
This pain will never ever let me be

I never would have deserted you
It is so hard to type through the tears
But, some how I have managed
Knowing that your time is coming near

It was the hope that you gave me
And those encouraging words of yours
That pushed me to even try, and now
Those tears continue to pour

There is no reason for me to try
There is no hope that I can see
The tears continue to fill my eyes
And the pain will just not let me be

This hurts, dear Sue, but we can be close with our heart, if not physically, to those we want to help. And I am sure your feelings are perceived and appreciated even at distance. Sometimes we need to let the tears flow and soon the waters will calm down after the initial emotional rapids. Trust. Your sensitive generous nature is deeply felt.

A beautiful write from your caring heart.

Love and hugs.

Someone once told me that love was the sweetest pain they ever suffered.  I think you give credence to that thought quite well.  Very nice write.

So sorry that you are feeling so bad, Sue.
I wish I could say something to make you feel better.
                           Hugs,

Margherita, I very very seldom let tears flow. As a rule, I can dry them right up. But, not this time. Thank you for your very caring and kind reply.

Mark, sometimes the pain of love seems almost unbearable. This is one of those times. Thank you for your kind reply.

Ida, thank you for caring. I wish there was something you could say, too.

Pandababy, thank you for reading and replying.

we can be felt there to the very end Sue...when people share friendships and love  each knows it even when "soon enough"
has come.

Yo dear Oklahoma Rose,

Don't go on like that Hon.  Someone better will come along before you know it.

Love Bobby
