The Reasons Why
~ By Sue ~

Why do they flirt with me
I have no interest, now
If only they did know
What I have been through
Maybe they would leave me be

It has not been easy
For me to forget him
Thoughts of him become less
Until another man comes around
Then I remember where I have been

Not that I will ever forget
Any of the things he did and said
The memories never leave me
They just slowly fade away
As the days go passing by

Sometimes when I feel lonely
I think of him again
Remembering why I left
And the reasons why
I will not love again

Always good to see you here my friend.
Painfully thoughtful write here.  Healing does come with time...and you are wise to remember where you have been, so a new course can be sought.  Hope it is all gold.

Dear Sue,

You tell them guys to take a walk
But then, they're not all like the one you had
Take it slowly, heal your pains
The one you had was truly bad

Glad to see you're doing ok my friend.

Hugs, Titia

Hi Sue  
It's so good to saee you here, Lady!!
I know exactly how you feel. I've had more men flirting
with me since my husband died. There must be a
shortage of women. Haha!! Really, I know what you mean.
But, you know what? When you least expect  it, someone
so special that you can't resist him, is going to come
along and sweep you off your feet. You have so much love
in your heart to share with someone, and will one day.
You know that Gary or I neither one were looking for
someone when we fell in love. We were friends first....
and are still best friends.

I liked this poem, my friend.  
Hugs to you  
Ethel

Oh I hope you can someday think of love in a good way. But if not, well hey, we women are pretty strong, we can make it on our own.
Hugs

I agree with what everyone else says, but more than anything with what Sandra says.. and love, itself, we cannot truly regret, for the loving part was and is beautiful.. but we can go on.. because yes, we are strong.. yes, we are strong..

(and I tell myself this daily, like a mantra.. lol)..
