Inside the shadow's shadow

0 posted 2003-03-25 07:57 AM


I wish I could love
Like I've never loved before
Jump right back into
That misty waterfall
And be overtaken
By the crashing waves
And smile
Just smile
And believe that it will never end.
Believe that he's the one
No matter what, he has to be!
For how could a feeling
Such as this
Lie?
That could not be possible.
I miss that constant silly grin
Always lying across my face
And that skippy, catchy music
That seemed to never stop
Running through my head.
I miss going to sleep wondering
If he's thinking of me too
And maybe, oh just maybe,
He's sure he loves me too?
I wish there was some way
To bottle the scent
Of first love
And keep it stowed away
For cold and rainy days
When I remember
That I'll never love
Like that
Again.

I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
--Chang Tzu

You will, you will .... I am sure. New love is like the first love ....  much more than that probably ....
That music that doesn't stop and the constant smile ... something understood only by those who are just going through it ...
Very beautiful and much enjoyed.
Love, Margherita

Love has a way of sneaking up on you and tapping you on the shoulder when you least expect it. I have found that its best to just get on with the business of living and love eventually finds you...the man of your dreams may just be around the next corner...  

Peace, Love & Light,

Especially loved this part of your write
Maybe I can bottle up some scent for you; since i'm still enjoying my first love as time passes slowly.
All 'firsts' are special and never to forget...also first love, but doesn't 'first' imply second?

Hugs, kelly

yaknow...I think the same thing lately...I have loved twice in my life, so I guess I just consider myself lucky for that, and not really worry about strike three.

Don't you wish all relationships could be so perfect? *applause*

Oh you will love again, the first is usually never forever.  And i agree with Pearl6884, i too ish that all relationships could be so perfect.

a life lived unexplored is a life not worth living.
