Nonetheless I Miss You


I miss hearing your voice
I miss listening to your new adventures,
and of people and places you have yet to explain…

I miss looking into your eyes
And holding you…

I miss all the time now past,
we’ve not been, two...

I missed it all,
you and me,
the way it could have been…
If I had not missed reality:
you really were for me…

I miss that time,
although it was too short to deem
it could possibly be true.
The fact,
that it was a perfect time
for me and you…

If I had only listened when you said:
“I miss you, come back home with me.”

That was thirty-four years ago today.
Nonetheless I miss you…

Learn to learn

Nothing offered is cheap

No-one learns to just take the time

Consumer's all

Your words are worth thinking about

Hi JL, good to see you posting...sad but true, all to oft, we pass by people and things that were so valuable, but at the time, we didn't recognize they were so....

Beautiful message

Hindsight...
But you did what you felt
you needed to do then...

and in some way,
I'm sure the other
could understand.

This happens so very often.



And to so many.

JL~

Thirty four years
is a long, long time
to stay the memories
in your rhyme ...
A time worth remembering
is always
worth remembering~

You pour such poignant ink~

Enjoyed the read, JL, and how often we look back and say, "If only".  I decided a long time ago not to be in that same position again - the "now" counts so very much.

Thanks all!
I just ran across an old picture of the girl this is written about, it brought back
the memories, and the words just popped out.
