AS   I   HAVE   TO   LEAVE   YOU
by Ethel

"I love you, my Baby", we often say
to each other
Mostly on the phone, though in person
we'd much rather
It's hard to be apart when together
is so much better
With our hearts so entwined we are
destined to be together

In our lives there seems to be
such complications
But on all of these we will
serve notification
To each other, no way will we lose
our dedication
With each other we will be for
life's duration

As I have to leave you and tears
fill our eyes
More and more it's simple for us to
fully realize
That this awful pain we feel will
not completely subside
Until in the very same home together
we will forever reside

ONE DAY, MY LOVE, ONE  DAY

"Parting is such sweet sorrow"
May you live as one on the morrow

~ May the time come soon when the two of you will be united and are able to hang a "Home Sweet Home" sign on the front door of a new love nest! ~

Ethel, I sure hope you and your sweet love get together soon. Why does life have to be so complicated?!

Wonderfully written words.

Hugs, Marti

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

really sweet. this one is sure to end up in an e-card sometime soon!

reminds me (everyone is probably thinking it) of John Denver's "leaving on a jet plane." the way you wrote it, it could probably be set to music.

Oh, Ethel, you are so bubbly and happy with everyone else, who knew the pain you are going through.

You expressed it so well in this poem and I truly wish for a speedy permanent, reunion.

Big Hugs To You,

Those "phoney" relationships leave a lot to be desired, don't they?

I like your style, Ethel. You put the right amount of emotion with just the right touch. This is a goodie...

Michael, thanks so much for taking the time to read my poem and for your reply to me. Yes, I will certainly be glad when Gary and I have a home together. I hate being apart from him at all. We both want this more than anything in the world.
With Love To All,
Ethel/garysgirl
