~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When he died, she was so hurt
In lives together
he made her feel
Happy....sad
Glad....angry
Love.....hate
Pride.......disgust
Companionship....loneliness
Independence....dependence
Every emotion was felt
at some time
during years with
HIM

She promised herself,
NEVER to marry
or get involved
again
She didn't NEED
all these
emotions

Something always
wrong happened
in past relationships,
marriage
She could do without
mixed emotions and
HURT

She could make it in life
all by herself
Because..,
She was HERSELF,  and was capable
She was strong
Because, she loves
HERSELF

               Then,
                      I met
                            YOU

Then she wanted to feel again
so she opened the door to her heart
and a new love stepped in...James

This was wonderful and greatly enjoyed, great to have all that time to ourselves, no garbadge to carry around or put up with, but what is love without the company of another, so I well enjoyed the ending.
Great work, love it.

Sincerely
Rick

Beautifully conceived and written....picked me up and carried me.....

...though the opposite of love isn't hate...the opposite of love is fear....

This reminds me of a poem I wrote a long time ago...about a person who brought out my saddness, my gladdnes, and my maddness.

Wonderful string of thoughts, and the ending
was absolutely perfect.  So pretty Ethel~
