Like the first meal after a long illness, it seems that once more we have come together only to say goodbye.
We two have sworn our allegiance to separate worlds, yours here and mine there.
But this devine madness will not let me leave you, though I know I must leave you, I can not.
Do not worry my darling for this life is so very short and we shall have eternity for our goodbyes.
When first I saw you my heart leaped within me and I could scarcely hide my exuberance. It has been goodbyes ever since.
And when once again I should dare to dream, I shall dream of you, then we shall be together every night my darling.


Lady Hamilton and Lord Nelson

This, dear Rick, is beautiful heart talk. An endless series of goodbyes makes, in my opinion, for an almost certain eternal love.

Love,
Margherita

I agree, Very nice and well put

The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.
