I spoke too soon I gave too soon, that’s what they all said, but even an hour later I had the same opinion and even now after almost 2 years I stand by my words and my love for you remains just the same NO, that’s not true! now that I don’t see you anymore it has actually grown ten-fold and a few times more not sure how much, for love is immeasurable, unfathomable in depth infinite in numbers I mark each day as happy and sad with red and blue happy it is when I see you though from far away walking in easy steps face lit with a smile and that smile travels right to my face even from the distance that you have managed to create between the rivers of us sad is when your shadow walks away in hurried steps changing the smile into a grim nod of acceptance of your leave unfortunately my calendar shows an increasing majority of blue and my days are spent alone and painting in dark shades of blue with the occasional dots of red when I see wonderful sunsets and when the breeze blows memories of you |

happy it is when I see you "though from far away walking in easy steps face lit with a smile and that smile travels right to my face even from the distance that you have managed to create between the rivers of us" That is so powerful, and so sad, yet so incredibly beautiful! |

"and my days are spent alone and painting in dark shades of blue with the occasional dots of red when I see wonderful sunsets and when the breeze blows memories of you" (big hugggsssssss) Oh Sudhir, this is so very powerfully bittersweet, sweet friend, I know how you feel as I miss my Joanna so much yet my love for her only grows stronger having hope and faith in her! (sigh) This is powerful, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sudhir, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!
