I wondered which day
I would hear     those words,
you know, those ones
that you repeat over and over
in this regular routine
of here again    and gone.

I've become so accustomed
to them that they no longer
bring that sudden rush
that makes my heart skip beats

while listening to    those words....

but today when you spoke them
it noticeably took me off guard
and I felt the heat rising
because it seemed once again
my wishes never made it
to the bottom of the well
that I keep tossing these pennies into

only to find out that lucky pennies
don't exist.

I heard       those words
         "out of town"
fade back into the past
and as all moments do
so did this one pass by,
with a sigh
         it slipped away

because after all,
     what does it matter
           if you will be there again
                    while I'm here         alone
                              on my   birthday?

The greatest beauty on earth, is
found in the hearts of those
who love....

Sometimes, on birthdays?
It's very important to
count on only those
you can count on...

These aren't selfish ramblings..
but hurt feelings coming straight from your beautiful heart.
No one should be alone on their birthday.
Sending big hugs your way sweet lady.

Because it does matter and we only really understand that it does when we have it...

Thanks all, and hugs.

Its amazing how much my
life has changed
since I wore that smile..
What happened to that smile?
There I am
with my head held high
when my step was quick
and my eyes were bright
back when I believed in love
and would lay my heart on
the line.....{T. Lawrence}

Gentle Spirit,

I really don't think that you are being selfish at all. So sad that you had to hear "Out of Town" on your Birthday. Very well written. -Bob

Oh, hon... it sometimes seems that when we don't ask for much, we get even less... and who needs a birthday spanking when you're slapped with being taken for granted?
There's selfishness here all right... but it's not in the ramblings!
