It Looks Like I Have Failed

Your silence seems to say
That I no longer belong  
I thought you needed me
I must have been wrong

I read your past letters
How you cared so much
You always promised me
We would keep in touch

All those years we shared
I hoped you would reply
Weeks now since I heard
So I had to question why

I had noticed the changes
I began feeling rejected
When you told me to write
Silence was unexpected

Expecting to hear from you
Each time I have mailed
As I try to reach out to you
Its looks like I had failed

Dear Hope, you have not failed, you just love him so much. When we set expectations, then we might always be disappointed. The only way to love is to love unconditionally.
You write beautifully with your heart.
Love and hugs. Margherita

Hello Hope

I can so relate to your heartfelt words as you know.  Long silences can be so very painful.

Take care.......Sue

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