You Don't Mess With Love

While walking in the Black Forest with a bunch
of real Germans I felt German too, although the
closest thing to German I am is Italian, having
an Italian Grandfather that came to America to
build big bridges until he fell off and died.
While in germany I liked the style of the German
women, just one of the reasons I married a full
blooded German lass after I came back, who was
missing her boyfreind that had been sent to
Germany to serve in the Air Force in Ramstein
and had greatly disappointed her by not sending
for her after he got settled, one of the reasons
why I should have encouraged her to pursue him,
the man she still loved, I always felt like it
was a mistake to pursue her, because she should
have been pursuing him so she could settle her
account with him, before she could be ready for
me, but I didn't encourage her to go because I
didn't want to lose her, still I lost her in the
end, because she was always in love with him,
and you don't mess with love.

lovely James... you don't mess with love.. but sometimes, love messes with you...
I haven't been on the pages blue lately due to my work commitments, and I have missed out on so many beautiful works, yours included... love RDB

Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight.........

Hello James, a stupendous story, I like your wisdom and the good distance you took with events...When I was young I fell in love with a gorgeous austrian girl (I even remember her name)...But I was just travelling and had to come back in France while she was working in Austria...We keep writing during two years (I have still her letters) and stopped naturally relationship...Now I realize that I simply fell in love because she was beautiful...A man have to learn all his life along isn't it....

thanks for your very interesting poem.

Thank you Roniece and 2islander2 for the wonderful comments...
Roniece your comments are precious to me...
you are so accepting...
2islander2 I also fell in love because a woman was beautiful, but she also was in love with another man...and in retrospect our personalities had no intentions of getting along...James
