I can't be with you,
you don't know I care,
so many others,
want to be there.


With you,
but a stranger
to all you've touched,
I can't be with you,
but, I want to,
so much.


Merry Christmas

my love,
sleep well tonight,
and whoever holds you,
may they love you right.

May they hold back nothing,
give you joy of love, true,
I can't be with you,
just know

I want to.

So,
with just a few tears,
and a heart full of care,

Merry Christmas

my love,
wish I was there.

It can hurt so much when you cannot....but it doesn't make the love any less real...
and expressing it is a beautiful gift..given
unselfishly...

Nicely done...HUGS from me too....

Thanks for the beautiful, yes, it is sad and I think many have someone they wish for...but, always want the best for them, even if we aren't the one...

Magus,

What a love, you are. Your understanding and gift to us in your poetry is selfless and so enjoyed.
Thanks for the nicely done and caring thoughts. Hugs back and happy, happy holidays to you and yours. Pat

Pat this is extraordinarily beautiful, to long for someone and yet love them so much that you still wish them the best even in the arms of another. That takes strength and spirit that few have. It hit home for me as I'm in the same situation, thank you for giving this feeling a voice.
Merry Christmas and may you find warmth in the arms of love as soon as possible.

I probably could sing this one, myself....
I am guilty of being a secret admirer with a crush and can't really admit it.
This really touched deep
Big hugs to you and a special wish for a Very warm and
Merry Christmas

Passion, imagination and intellect running together.

This is beautiful, and heartfelt I can tell.
I think it hurts more when you can't tell someone, and even when you know that someone else is with them.. but still want the best for them.

May your Christ-mas be joyful, despite the pain. Hugs to you.

Always, Alyssa

Ethel,

For us it was the candlelit, Christmas Eve dinner, with gifts exchanged beforehand that was the highlight of this holiday...today is a quiet day, though grandchildren wanted me to spend night to "be there" for the opening of santa's gift, I opted to come home, and check in later today.

Thanks, and may you have a merry one, too.  Hugs, Pat

Nancy,

Me too. Every time I read it. Hugs back. Had a lovely time. thanks.

Aenimal (raf)

How sweet, your wishes for me. Same to you.  Hugs and love, Pat

CSK

Thanks for responding' not glad you can relate, but glad I got the feeling across....May this day be bright and joyful, no matter... hugs, Pat

GG, Alyssa,

The pain is not foremost, and thank God for tears, wonderful release of sad feelings. The joy for me this year are the children (my adult, little kids that they be and their little ones....and rememberance of why we celebrate the day. Happy day to you.

Paul,

Glad you read. Same to you. Hugs,

Dixie,

I know you like sad. This does capture more than one situation. Glad you made it through your evening shift.  Hugs, Pat

Oh Karilea,

You put a grin on my "mind".....
big smiles here...Thanks

This is so very touching.

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn
