With tears and heart aching,  baby,  I so miss you
Knowing I, you  feel the same,  missing me too
We know of this,  to be prepared,  when we're so far apart
Certain though,  are we,  always close in heart

I know you're here with me,  as I am there with you
Distance will never take away, love between us two
Always close together,  we will ever be
Looking all around,  the other we will see

Feel,  my dear love,  don't you feel me near
Forever in our hearts,  our love is true and dear
If you will but listen closely,  in the still of night
Hearing my whispers in winds breeze,  shhhhhh,  be real quiet

On a clear nights dark,  look in velvet sky
Bright star sparkling,  is loves twinkle from my eye

When closing our eyes,  Sweetheart,  as we meet in our dreams
I'm right there,  you're here with me,  oh so real it seems
This we must do,  if we're to always cope
Until together again,  never we must ever lose hope

My  Love,  I love you......

Thank you, Heather.
Yeah, absence does make the heart grow fonder, they say, but the  PRESCENCE  sure does make mine and his heart's fond...

I sure hope you two can be together permanently in 2003!

This was very nice, but it makes me sad you and Gary are apart.  Hugs, Marti

Hello Ethel

Your love shone through each and every verse and I thought this was absolutely delightful.

Here is a little something for you (not written by me) :

In our life
there is a single color,
as on an artist's palette
which provides the
meaning of life and art.
It is the color of love.

What is life
without the radiance
of love?


Take care......Sue

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Yeah, it makes us sad, too, Marti.
We hope we can be together permanently in 2003, too. The times apart are so hard.
My parents (Dad, especially) are the reason we aren't already married. It's a long story and I just won't go any further here.
Thanks for caring, sweet friend.....

Thank you so much, Gemma, for your sweet words. I really do appreciate them.
I'm really glad to know that my words help you. One of the reason's that I even attempt to write is because I hope it will help someone to know that others feel the way they may be feeling.

Thank you, sweet friend for your encouragement.....

Ethel,

This is too real. Sad. I hope, like the rest, that you two can be permanently united. It has to be very, very hard. My heart goes out to you.

Hugs, Pat

To it's tragic beauty
To pain and strife

They don't always work Inkedgoddess, not at all.

I'm not in a lovey dovey mood either.

But, through my black shroud of bitterness (nice and dramatic eh? Sadly true) I can appreciate the sentiments, and for you Garysgirl - I hope it all works out...

Lauren,
Thank you very much for your replies.
I like those winking green eyes  HaHa!!!! My eyes are green, too.  
                                                                                                                      
inkedgoddess,
Actually, whether it works or not (I think), depends entirely upon the couple and how much they love each other and are willing to work at making it work.
Ours "has worked" for 5 years......
Sorry you're not in a "very loving mood tonight". I hope things get better for you ....

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Ethel, you always seem to relate so well to how I feel, what's heartbreaking to me is that I never lost hope then I feel all a sudden robbed, like some pirate has infiltrated my ship and left a hole in the mast and I become like Tom Hanks in the movie Cast Away! (sad sigh) I wish for you and Gary to always be together and for you to close the distance with a golden smile, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah, my heart aches for you, dear friend. I can feel the heartache in your words. Did you read the poem I wrote on Wednesday (the 1st). It's called "Heart's Heartbreak".
Read it when you get a chance. okay?

Ethel, I know you miss Gary. But your loneliness is so sweet, and then you write those poems, and you make it better for others who miss their loved ones. I prefer to love my familly from a distance. But that's just me.

Never be normal!

Hi Liz

You know what though? I believe I could write about all the good things Gary and I could be doing if we were together all the time, and places we'd be going and everything.  
Now, it's mostly lonely stuff I write about. But, if it helps someone else to cope, I'm glad of that.
Thanks, sweetie, for your reading and replying......
