Behind the scenes of this love
lies a shadow of loneliness
Living in an cruel world
full of sorrow
love dies easily
We cope by
detachment
But the more distance
between us
the more this love suffers
And when loneliness embraces us
fully
and makes us lose our minds
we search for each other
and love desperately
trying to forget the pain
Infusing with love
what tears us apart
Drowning in passion
and being happy if only
for a night
Our love takes takes us
to paradise
before descending

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Walker, this is so sad but true, my heart always cries out when I hear of so many lovers broken apart and I just wish that so many more can only ascend rather than fall in tears! (sigh) My heart goes out to you, sweet friend, we all love you so much, this is soooooo emotionally powerful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Walker, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

walker - ahhh, a brief stay in paradise - it is worth a few tears I would say. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

Precisely why I don't ride roller coasters!  Good one, walker.
