In language of hello you said, “I’m leaving” your kiss a fleeting touch of winter’s chill, those softly spoken words had me believing until I felt your lips and knew your will You stayed behind that mask, so blank, so hidden that nothing of your former nature showed I hope you only did, as you were bidden and not that you were reaping as you sowed The coldness of your stare was like sun setting you know I felt the language of your touch although my heart is broken from regretting my thanks remain, for you gave me so much. I did not understand why you were leaving yet how I understood that I would cry, so I closed off my heart. It left me grieving. You kissed hello but really meant goodbye. Always do more than is required of you George Patton |

as always a treat to read you~~ Hope you are well... I can't tell you how much I miss the fun we had in Florida. "I did not understand why you were leaving yet how I understood that I would cry, so I closed off my heart. It left me grieving. You kissed hello but really meant goodbye." Love this verse!  M |

although my heart is broken from regretting my thanks remain, for you gave me so much. It is good to read your words again, my friend... and these go straight to my heart. Wishing things had been different isn't the same as wishing things hadn't been... and you wrote it beautifully!! |

Kethry - gosh, this is a sad write with many words of meaning. Even though sad it's still a great write... BC |
