Through all the years, I still think of you My dreams, they are still about you My mind wages war with my heart You’ve become a memory, at least it’s a start A song, a phrase, a certain smell Can trigger such reactions in this hell I know that I am only mortal man And these feet tread upon a shaky land We sat on the hill, watching the sun go down The joy was just having you around Thousands of hours go by like nothing happened The strength of your face held in my head lessened But after the hatred and confusion dims I wonder if you’re really happy with him I think that maybe you think of me still Because I know of you, I always will Though my feelings were so strong then, There were others before, since, and will again I try not to compare them to you It is simply all that I can do Now I’m left a little stronger and wise To view the world with not so innocent eyes I’d like to spend some time again with you talking, Through the familiar paths while walking Reminisce for a while, then say goodbye; This time forever, as you vanish from my eye |

Poignant and ponderous--I felt the ache. Well done. |

"Now I’m left a little stronger and wise To view the world with not so innocent eyes I’d like to spend some time again with you talking, Through the familiar paths while walking Reminisce for a while, then say goodbye; This time forever, as you vanish from my eye" lessons of love...words of wisdom... another one full of grace JML... still stalking you(smile) janet marie ...there are places inside all our souls... that have never been touched... there are places inside our hearts... that need to be loved this much...

This is that once in a lifetime feeling, sometimes it comes back again. Sometimes though, just the memory of it takes through life feeling better and somehow stronger!!! love this poem!! Chris |
