That night I met you
I knew you were the one
the one I'd always want
yet never be able to hold

It was almost audible
the angels whisper...........
telling me no, not this one
you two aren't meant to be

We've come close........
We almost could have been..........

I've seen the sparkle in your eye
felt the passion in your kiss
but never the warmth of your bed
or your love ~ beyond friendship

We were never meant to be...........

Still sometimes.......
I wonder if the angels
were talking to you
and I just happened
............to hear.

So sad...sometimes things just aren't meant to be, no matter what we do.

How utterly beautiful ... What a turn of phrase ... Doubt put in words ... Love on hold ... You take my breath away.

Love is.

Sea, whatever will be...will be...but when there's a trickle of hope...just a maybe...well, miracles do happen. Just listen for the answer in a whisper. shhh. you'll hear it.

This is so sad and so beautiful! Perhaps my problem is I talk too much to hear the angels whisper. *G* Great job, SEA!

SEA, (Circe) you knew before you even typed one letter what my reaction would be didn't you. Yes I know you did love, and it's true, this is wonderful, utterly utterly breathtakingly wonderful. I really love this one it's so amazing.
Take care love

Know the feeling well my friend; something that coulda, shoulda been, but never was and
years and years later you still wonder why...

Well done, said and in a lovely way...

Wow SEA, this is great, you've reminded me of a favorite poem I'd like to share part of with you:

"Say that I appeared in your life
because
someone wished it
and you are not to blame
and I will
more than likely
say the same."

Loved the emotion in your poem, absolutely stunning!
