On A Journey To The Unknown

From A Distance

This heart of mine had been closed
For so many, many years
I swore I would never love again
To feel the pain I felt before
On that day, when I first met you
A friend is all I wanted to be
Somehow you managed to slip in
This broken heart of mine

I will love you until the day I die
Even if we are not together
My love for you I cannot ignore
Because it is so real
Memories of the love we shared
Still linger in my mind
I've never known love like this
One I just cannot ignore

I need the love you once gave me
Not the silent treatment I get
To feel the love we once shared
Is what I need from you
The love I feel for you continues
Staying inside my heart
But, I think it is time for me to go
I'll love you from a distance

(kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Right now, Sue...
Its definitely safer from a distance...
but I would truly advise you to try to stop loving him altogether...
I know its hard, but life will feel so much better if you can do that... It will feel like a heavy burden lifted from your shoulders.

You keep that distance Sue, it will be tough, but it's the only way.

Love him from a distance? I'd say NO, but one just can't simply turn off one's feelings. But they will vanish I'm sure.
