The Pain of Love

"If I don't call you
will we be through?"

I cried the night away
thinking about how much
I missed you today.

Not really.

Don't be silly.

Yes really.

"If I no longer think of you
does that mean we're through?"

There come a time when
the mind has to overcome
the thoughts of the heart,
otherwise the heart will
suffer needlessly from
the pain of love.

Yes. Absolutely, James.

At a cocktail party, one woman said to another,
'Aren't you wearing your wedding ring on the wrong finger?'
'Yes, I am. I married the wrong man.'

"There come a time when
the mind has to overcome
the thoughts of the heart,"

Very well expressed.
Enjoyed, James.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.

So true, dear James! Sadly it's not so easy like closing a tap.

Very wise in its melancholy.

"....There come a time when
the mind has to overcome
the thoughts of the heart,..."

If more people understood this, as you do, there would be a lot less "heartache" floating around...

But that would mean people would truly have to
"care" about others, not just voice the word.

excellent piece, my friend.
