When I Recall Her

"It still hurts me, when I miss
the good things about her."

I could think about my honey
for the rest of my life,
although I know my past is not my life;
yet it is an accumulated part of my life
and over all it is a beautiful chapter
that I lived in my past.
Yes, my life is right now,
No, it is not my past,
Yet, when I think of the good times
me and my sweetheart shared
I loved them so much
and then I realize
how much I miss her personality
and those good thoughts
can rapidly turn to bad,
Yes it does tend to hurt
when I miss the good things about her
and it makes me feel sad
when at those times
I recall her.

Different Drum
sung by Linda Ronstadt
written by Mike Nesmith

"You and I travel to the beat
of a different drum
Ah can't you tell
by the way I run
Every time you make eyes at me."

So tenderly expressed James ~ It is hard looking back and feeling things in our life that have passed ~ I believe it is good to sometimes visit ~ as long as we don't want to stay there and forget about living and finding new happiness Thank you for sharing ~ Alana

I think most of us have the "recall" of lost loves. Cool poem, James.
