"Not Living"

shadows all around me on this dark night
as my thoughts turn to you
tears fall slowly down my cheeks
let the pain go, nothing else i can do

this isn't living
me here and you there
the pain is becoming to much
the load too heavy to bare

surrounded by family and friends
yet my heart is so blue
they all notice my fake smile
thinking im happy, haven't a clue

the pain inside my heart
burns with an uncontrollable fire
smile on my face
heart says i'm a liar

this isn't living
me here and you there
the pain is becoming to much
the load too heavy to bare

if the light could just find its way
back into my heart and soul
to feel you in my arms again
would make me completely whole

Amy, this one touches me deeply, I relate all too well to the feelings you have expressed! As Olias has said carry them in your heart, sometimes that is all we can do. The sun will shine for you, I know it! Take care!

Amy, I really do know how you feel love, it is one of the hardest lessons we have to learn. Truth to tell I'm lousy at waiting too. It will be all right in the end, but it feels a lifetime while you're waiting. Take care love, hold the dream in your heart and you and your love will be fine I promise.
Take care

amy-girl...this is sad but beautiful in its longing..
me thinks its time for a bus,plane, or train ride..
Vante'used to always tell me...
"there is no distance between us...
we are seperated only by the miles,
we are always as one in heart, spirit and soul."
But I do know nothnig takes the place of looking them in the eyes...
stay strong sweetie
love ya
me

There are moments ...
when I Love you
beyond the limits of my human heart ...

...you will always be mine.

Know that you are not alone
