When it comes to shattered love affairs-
They always end the same-
It really doesn’t matter,
Who’s at fault, or who’s to blame.

The pain is no less bitter,
If a person’s right or wrong-
The tears are no less painful-
And the night’s are no less long.

Why can’t we be an island-
With no need of other’s love?
Why can’t we walk a loner’s path-
When push turns into shove.

It really doesn’t matter…
Human’s hearts can’t stand the strain-
Perhaps that’s why we’re frightened…
To ever love again.

I know the feeling--it's a courageous thing to let go of past fears and begin love anew. Well done Gunslinger.

I trust in my ability to make it if I try love and it fails...but I always hope that it will work out as expected so the disappointments and regrets will not visit me again...James

Well, when the opportunity appears before us ... we should have our needs and wants arranged clearly in our minds ... because we may have to live with our answer for the rest of our lives

(big hugggssssss) Oh John, this too always saddens me to see so many who lose love become so afraid in attempting to love again and they spend the rest of their lives alone with their fears! (sigh) I know how it hurts, but I also hope they can find the strength to go on and be able to open to love again! We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is so sensitive and gorgeous! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet John, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Gunslinger,
It makes sense to me. Well done.

How very very true, the feelings of loss after the love has ended...but, we do reach a point where we can love again, and that in itself is wonderful!  
~Hugs, Nancy~

~Somewhere in my heart I'm always
dancing with you in the summer rain~
