a lone tear falls
from this face
forlorn

a streak of black
slides its way . . .

like they always slide their way into my heart

Smiling
I wonder . . .

Why is it
that those
who say they love me
I do not
as they need me to . . .

and those that I love
do not
see me
like I need
to be seen?

Dear Sue, this stirs something! In a few well chosen words you powerfully express what seems to happen so often. Even though we are all connected, we are still individual Universes which not always move in parallels. Tell your heart to guide you to those who respond to your own feelings in a harmonious way.
Love, Margherita

I've often asked myself these questions of love, but alas, I've never found the answers.

Maybe the mystery can be solved on paper! For what I see I love...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

this seems to be a perpetual affliction ... but it's effects are forgotten in the company of mutual infatuations
