I make you no promise...
In fact I suppose it is best,
To let our love waver,
At last lay the poor thing to rest.

I can't keep you waiting...
And longing for heavenly bliss...
Though I'd give a fortune...
If only I had one last kiss.

"I love you", comes easy-
You know it's the way that I feel.
But dear I release you...
To find you a lover who's real.

I've never encountered-
A lass with a pen to match mine.
To drink of your words, dear...
I find as refreshing as wine.

So, fare thee well, lover-
I give you a final release.
I hope you find happiness,
And live all your days in true peace.

Loners and lovers-
I fear cannot entertwine....
I ventured to your world,
But feel more at home here in mine.

Hello to you. Where have you been?

I'm giving this a bump

Always difficult to let them go when we love them in any way at all isn't it?

Enjoyed...

They do say there are some things we'll never know the answers to. Maybe this is one of them.
Love,
