If only words could be unspoken
If only hearts could be unbroken
If only time could be rewound
But life is simply not that way
If only pain could go away
If only I knew what to say
If only memory would fade
But hearts can never work that way
If only we could start again
If only we were even friends
If only pain were at an end
But only death could be that way
The saddest words in any language
If only

Pepper darling girl If only the two saddest words ever. Regret darling heart is fruitless you cannot change the past so don’t waste your time reliving it. I know that’s easier said than done.

Truly your writing is wonderful you write so well, scratch that you write brilliantly. Your clarity of expressing emotion is unique, well done darling girl truly excellent writing


Love and warm stuff

(tears fall down my cheeks) Such sad but wonderful words, sweet friend, I pray with all my heart that we can forgive ourselves and replace if only's with what if's of hope! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is very well-said! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lavenia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

*sigh* sometimes it only takes saying I am sorry....sometimes that works but sometimes words have been too hurting to be healed so easily...My heart goes out to you. **big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
