*this is a bit different for me, well sort of any way lol. It isn't personal at any rate  just what came from a song......He held me like it was forever then turned and said good-bye he moved with purpose but came running back for one last kiss promised he’d never forget ~ and forever ~ would miss I counted every tear as they fell one by one to the floor and with a pain I’ve never known watched him walk out the door and as my heart was breaking then and there I made a vow once again I’d see him I just don’t know when I don’t know how if only I could have loved him longer……….. if only he weren’t so far way………… if only he knew I loved him……….. if only I had the words to say……… if only is a wish made much too late you can never change what is meant to be you can never alter fate. ~SEA~ |

It may not be personal, Sea, but it is very, very true..... Nicely said. God bless America, my home sweet home. |

IF only I had been here many months before. IF only I had known you before I shut the door. IF only your words were not so very true. IF only your talent were not darn good. Thanx for a good reflective poem. |

But you can hope for new and better experiences...sometimes we get stuck in a fantasy thinking somethings that happened in our past were better then things that can happen to us today or tomorrow...not saying they weren't enjoyable experiences...just saying life holds lots more for us...James |

Of course it's not personal. A man turning away from you?!  Ridiculous!!  Well done, SEA lady! |

Well, it may not have been personal to you, but it sure sounded personal to me!!lol. it sounds like something I could have written. For something that didn't come straight from your heart, it sure sounded sincere. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
