I can't believe I let myself fall,
let myself dream,
let myself hope.
I cant believe I let myself love,
let myself need,
let myself want.
Now I sit here dying inside,
an ache that wont end,
pain for a lifetime.
Is this all there is?
Is this all I have to look forward to?
Day after day?
Pain without end?
Dying a little more each day
never to feel your touch,
never to wake to your smile?
Darkness without the saving rain.
Light without the warmth of your kiss.
I can't believe I let myself love.

Dig into this a little more and tell us "why" you hurt and what you're doing to believe again...we have to believe, Paula, we have to!

I truly understand what you're writing about here, Paula...and though I love being in love, I tend to ask as you have, what's the point really.  A few moments of what turns out to be imagined happiness?  Sorry, it's been a bad day.

This is great--But everything happens for a reason--nothing is a total waste--you learn something from every experience (sometimes u learn the hard way, as I am now) But you can't let that stop u from loving--u have to take that chance sometimes & love completely, u never know what may come of it   LOVE ELMO

Paula theres something about love we have no control over it. It happens, and somehow we must cope with it, though it's never easy.

wow can I ever relate to this right now. I too have put myself out in the line and have been disapointed and felt rejection. I'm sure these feelings will pass but I bet it might take a while. Take care.

Of course we are disappointed when it doesn't turn out as we like...and there can be a very dark period of regrets...but I love the opportunities and the lessons learned...and I have to hope that someday it will all come together...James
