SORRY, SHE SAID
20 May 2011

She turned to him
and said she was sorry
but she had to go
far away
forever.

He asked why
and opened
his arms and his heart and his voice
and she flew
into them.

That was all she needed . . .

but . . .

though, it broke her heart,
she just couldn’t stay,
so she had to say.

We are the co-creators of our lives ... no one to blame but ourselves if we decide for broken hearts against open arms ...

I feel sorry for you because you decided to say sorry ... which is of course not comforting to empty arms.

Ahhh .... love!

Love,
Margherita

I didn't say the poem was about me, Margherita. Smiles.

Good for you, dear Diana!

Then it means I feel sorry for HER ...

"Love Story" comes to mind where she says "love means never having to say you are sorry ...", but then that was a movie. There are no doubt situations in which it is sensitive and sensible to say sorry.

I didn't say the poem wasn't about me, either, Margherita. Smiles.

I think it helps to know the circumstances, too, before one judges. After all, love doesn't judge. Smiles.

Well, then, of one thing only I can be sure, it is not about ME!

... not the ME of now anyway ... but gosh the ME of the past has surely said what you have expressed in this poem ... too many times!

How sad! I say that with regard to me ...

Maybe I should say I am sorry!

You have added the sentence about judgement ... certainly I did not intend to judge.

Silence is probably the best option ...

Hugs,

hi Diana I can feel the scene, the emptiness of each one reagrding love, the hesitation cause it is the most important matter, this is dramatic, but everyone has to respect oneself and take good decisions...Thanks for the thoughtful write,
