"just wish that I didn't feel like there was somethin' I missed, take back all the things I said to make you feel like that." -Linkin Park, My December not you being let into mine, I tried to change my transient ways, but never felt exactly fine. The dandelions are here this morning but they'll be gone by tonight, and though I loved you too late it never felt exactly right. So I look for bandages in all shapes to cover the wounds left on me from hurting you, (not meaning to) and from loving you eternally. |

I'm going to get up on my soap box for a minute, so just go about your business while I type. You know Dixie, not one of us is perfect, we all have loved and lost at some point, and we all have our share of misgivings. We are human after all, so much so that we are capable of loving eternally, just like you said. In a way I feel sorry for the person who can't find it in their heart to forgive. I played the victim for a long time and in retrospect, it was both sickening and silly. I love the thought of your poem and all that it conveys. That's what I mean about the subtle changes in your poetry, it becomes you Dixie, in the very best way. |

And, Dixie dear, the best bandage is "forgiveness". We do a lot of things until we know what we're really doing and even when we know we still slip back every now and again. The ladder we must climb is very slippery but you're climbing! Go, girl! Helen |

So I look for bandages in all shapes to cover the wounds left on me from hurting you, (not meaning to) and from loving you eternally. I love this part. I love your writing, Dixie. Remember me? It has been a long time. |
