Reflections


Wonder why
it's so easy
for a woman
to say...
goodbye?

I always
seem to cry
when I say
goodbye.

Depends on why. Isn't saying goodbye always sad when you don't want to. It has nothing to do with being a woman or a man! When a person wants to leave the scene, it's often still sad, but sometimes it is the lessor of two sad evils.

ah goodbyes are so hard to do, for me they are at least! This reminded me of the song "goodbye" by jagged edge. give it a listen sometime.

you have a kind heart, nothing wrong with tears.
Takes me forever to get over goodbye, I never really do.
Don't know about other women, only me

James~

Goodbyes are always so hard to do....nice thoughts here....

Lauren~

Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows
of my heart

Those two words are so final and are not easy to say or hear.  
To be fair, they don't only apply to the female gender.  

It's a hard pill to swallow for sure!

Thank you Silver Streak, Nancy, Rose Petal, Irish Rose, Magnus,Floria, Noah, Lauren, Tara and Blues Serenade...
I suppose it does seem like I am picking on women in this reflection...yet I am only sharing my experiences...
I am in a relationship right now with a woman that I hope will find it hard to leave me...we will see...and then I won't be writing about this any more...I will be writing of her beauty...James

James I have often wondered the same about men. So there you have it. Some people are colder than others, and I guess the gender makes no difference.I hope this one lasts forever for you.

James - I'm not that sure if a woman can say goodbye without feeling it also. I don't know, but at times it seems that way..
