driving down the highway
in my new XG-350
i'm listening to
a roy orbison cd
and thinking of
you and how
you love me sweetly

wishing i could
turn back time and
be the person
that i was when
you showered me
with a love so strong
you loved me sweetly

when i passed
you on the road
and you waved to me
our eyes met
but only briefly
as you smiled so tenderly
it made me lonesome
for days gone by when
oh, you loved me sweetly

It difficult to forget those days you were loved sweetly. I have that memory. Nanette. What a prize I had, but I was all messed up in those crazy sixties' days I pushed her away from me again and again. I''m paying for it now. Good poem.

Thank you, JerryPat. I never understood why he married someone else.  Oh, well, that's life I guess.  I've just thought about him more lately since he recently passed away.

Love,


faith

faithmairee - This was poetically tender and sweet. It made me think that we shouldn't be sad because a relationship is over. But we should feel lucky because it happened, which puts things in a different light and brings back memories. Good work. Namyh

Sometimes music brings back memories and we dwell for a while in them and when they  are as sweet as yours here they can cause our hearts to smile.

Very lovely, dear Faith!

Love and hugs.
Margherita

Dear Namyh-I'm sorry it took so long for me to respond to your wonderful remarks.  My work schedule is messed up so I'm away from here more than I would like.

I'm honored by your lovely comments.  Yes, you got my message in this one very well.

Love,


Faith
