I wonder what I mean to you?
You haunt me from inside.
The passion that I feel for you
keeps tearing as in tides.

You had me in a special place,
and then you let me go.
I said goodbye, you went your way,
I cried for you, you know!

Each time you called, I talked with you,
the hours passed on by.
We said our friendship meant the world,
the passion slowly died.

I finally grasped the thought that I
would never hold you close.
You called me up, and said we'd meet
for dinner up the street.

I met with you, and once again,
the feelings surfaced through.
I thought I would be strong enough
to talk and meet with you.

You drove me home, then looked at me,
and melted through my eyes.
You kissed me gently, I backed away,
I sadly said goodnight...

You were strong Tulip ... you said 'goodnight' ....
Stated very beautifully ...

Very beautiful poem.  I hope you find your way through all of this.

that we recognize our oneness,
even as the single droplet of water
knows also that it is the sea."Daniel

Yes I know Tulip I guess it will always be true until the end of time... the deeper you get in the harder it is to walk away from a relationship.  You have expressed it very well.  James

Wonderful Poem,

I hope time heals your wounds.*S*


 The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

A very importent piece. It shows very sincere emotion that I have also dealt with. It's tough to make it through those long nights, but you will find a way.

Hey all,
It's hard being alone, but even harder being drug through the mud...it's time for me to be happy being alone!!!

Ugh... it sounds like those dreaded words I've heard too many times before. "We're too good of friends..." or something to that effect... I personally believe that the best relationship come from friendships.  Seems like the ones closest to me think otherwise though.  

If you need a little hope, I was engaged to the last person who said that to me... so it's not always a loss.

Anyways... very beautiful work... i know I'm a little late but I just found teh place today. =)   Good luck.

if it's the same to you I'll just hang."

White K-
Thank you for what you said.  I know there's hope, but sometimes it's best just to let go...
