I am writing this as a tribute to a great man I know. He only made one mistake in his life, and that was to love someone who wasn't free to be his. He is a beautiful person, inside and out. So basically what I am trying to say by this poem is....... Please let go of what isn't meant to be, learn to love someone else. You can, in time, I know! You'll be ok, I promise. Please just believe that I have only ever wanted the best for you. You deserve so much more than I could ever be free to give. And it is unfair to you, to let you continue loving me, when clearly it will only bring you pain. You know I worry about you, please don't internalize this, find someone to talk to, cry, scream, I don't care, but just get done with it and move forward. Step by step by step by step. I will never forget Twin Rocks, or what you have done to make me a better person, thank you for my life.....I owe you, so does my family. if you look deep deep inside yourself you'll find a well of cool, cool water from which to draw your strength it's suicidal to your heart to wait for the rain which rarely falls on this desert anyway relax and let go of the pain my dear friend and open your heart to the wonders and beauty and sanctuary of your own soul never take less than the very best strive for the goal of peace in your heart find someone worthy to give your heart to and love freely, wildly and passionately let the feelings that threaten to engulf you metamorphisize into the butterfly that I know you to be [This message has been edited by IsabelleSkye (edited 12-20-1999).] |

I hope that you both know that I love you dearly - and I'm here for you - either of you - whenever you might need a friend.....  |

Izzy: Bless your heart sweetheart, but when some people love, they can't see beyond love and everything associated with those feelings...eventually what will happen is that you will bury the love and communication begins to get harder but those feelings still need to be talked about...kind of like when someone dies because in essense that is what happens...but you can't ask someone to stop loving you, they love you without permission to do so..it takes time and people to talk to and take your mind off everything, the memories, music, flowers...you name it...why do I say all this? Cause I'm there myself and it's hard, hardest thing I've ever done in my life...the way you want to keep saying "you love" to the thought they can't love you otherwise they wouldn't want you to suffer...but, I guess we only think in terms of our own needs at times like this...I tell myself regularly that I'm selfish to want someone to love me when it will cause that person pain themselves...so, time, good friends, and above all else, remember it's not because you're not worth loving but circumstances and a 1000 and 1 other problems that makes love impossible for some...I'm here if it helps...I may have to edit this because I spoke from the heart and haven't thought through what I'm saying... But it's not easy for either party in this situation...both go through the worst kind of hurt and guilt...keep talking, keep busy and cry as often as you need.. Big HUGS to all concerned Yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream... |

I don't think loving someone can be a mistake. We are here on this earth to love each other. You are both better in some way for having loved each other. Though it's very hard right now, don't ever forget that you've touched each others lives in a special way. We are here for you both! |

This is deeply moving, and I wish the best for the situation. Hugs, K. (And I agree with PdV - we are here to love each other, it can take many forms I think) |

I have read this poem and the comments several times. I would like to help but I feel that anything I would say would be received in a negative manner. I do not know enough about the situation to delve into it and give advice. I do know that it is a law of physics that any action creates and equal opposite reaction. That's what makes space travel possible. I will go no farther than that. Whoever you are, sir, I feel for you. I've been there and it is not a good place to be. In fact, it's a rotten place to be. Time, and space, are your only allies. Let them help you, for your own sake. |

there are only two ways to go about doing something after a break up (as I assume this is through wording). First is that you can mope around and never move on. This option leads to depression and eventually can include drug use, criminal activities (stalking, harrassment, etc...), and even suicide. You will never be happy if someone is trapped in a situation they don't want just because you want them there. I've dwelled there and it made me the type of person that I really didn't like. Always watching them, always wondering what they are doing and if they aren't going around behind you. It wears you down to do that. The other option is to continue on with your life. If you continue on with life, then you will find something that makes you happy. Whether it be something you already do, or something you find out about later on, it makes no difference. The entire point is that you will be happy. I never claimed to have all the answers, just my opinion. I've made alot of bad decisions in my life that through some weird twist by God has made me a better person instead of one completely destroyed. He has taken me from the desert of lonliness to the oasis of friendship time and again. I am now the happiest I have ever been, and with some of the best people I've ever known. All because of God and my not wanting to sit around and think about things I can't change. You can't make someone else change their mind once it's already been made. You can gain their respect and admiration for being able to accept something and move on even when it tears you up inside. Something will always come up that will get you. That's the way life is. the only way you can get through life being happy is to take it and keep going. To put it in some younger terms, it's just emotional baggage. leave it with the desk clerk and let him deal with it. You don't have to take it with you. Sorry for the length, but I'm just home on leave, I'm not going to be here long enough to send email replies or anything like that. I like being a friend, and though I do say things that get to be offensive, I never mean to be offensive, just honest. So I'll let this go and wish you all a merry christmas. and remember, no matter how bad it gets, it can always get much worse. shine a light so bright that all can see and you will find the joys that echo within me |

A beautiful poem, as usual The gift of your words over the past two years has been very precious to me. I will reply more fully by email when I have had time to better compose my thoughts. Until then, however, I will only say that loving you was no mistake. "We are the music makers and we are the makers of dreams." - Willy Wonka. |

Unsanctioned Love A love that's born of sudden storm Of that which came not of the mind Is one of life's mysterious moments But truly is a gift divine It matters not what course it takes What steam it follows, how swift the flow Nor what the fathom of the depth Nor what the hue in morning's glow Love cannot be taught a measure Its own volitient wing it flies But it never needs apology And no dishonor should it decry Unsanctioned love in all its longing Should be cherished for its worth Whether or not it consumated For the time it has on earth No guilt or shame should pass its doorway So let it be there in itself Celebrate its silent presence Allowed to consumate itself Pray that he moves on, finds love, and always celebrates the love he has for you Liz |
