Earth 3rd Rock from the sun!!

Whispered secrets in the night
sweet tears falling from my eyes
in anticipation that this
is our last night

shattered dreams
broken promises
a past that only haunts me know

Why didn't I know then
What I know now?
Why didn't I hold on?
Why didn't I know how?

the pain fills my heart
scared to make this new start
without you
without you by my side

Why didn't I see?
Why couldnt I believe?
Why didn't I cherish you?
Why was I such a fool?

You gave me everything
A car a brand new house...
I took it all for granted
ddin't see what I had...
You loved me
unconditionally
you gave me
all that I needed
how could I have wanted more?

So...tell me
Why didn't I know then
what I know now?
Why didn't I hold on?
Why didn't I know how?

the pain fills my heart
scared to make this new start
without you
without by my side.....

Why didn't I see?
wWhy couldn't I believe?
Why didn't I cherish you?
Why was I such a fool?

Julie :)

There are so many things we do-or, in this case, don't do-that we regret. Well done, Julie.

I'm grabbing my hat and coat
I'm leaving the cat a note
Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town!

Julie this is so sad but so well expressed
we all wish we had hindsight and could take
back our mistakes...
hopefully we can learn from them and
move on with out all the regret
and always we have our writing to help heal us.
take care, jm

Julie
Such a bitersweet poem you have
here. Listen to Jan (she knows
what she's talking about)   I
only want to add believe in your-
self...you'd be surprised at the
strength you have inside...don't
really realize it until the chips
are down!
take care.

Because once you're there
It's up to you to make it happen."
