If I had never loved, I never would have cried ‘All things come full circle’ said I ‘I’ll just gather my things now that I’m homeward bound’ And she sat stone faced, daring not to make a sound Somehow I knew we’d be strangers forever more As soon as I walked out the door Now I hear the drizzle of rain outside my window With a voice that fills my head like an echo I wonder what she is doing on this day If chance brought us together, what would I say? I would surely be a different man in her eyes From the corner of her mind where memory lies Back then was a time of innocence Unafraid we were of the consequence A moment of time that will never be again She helped to shape the man that I am How could time rob me so surely of this memory Every day brings another loss of mental clarity But a sense of who I was always remains Even so long after the growing pains Still there are questions left unasked And I resign myself to the torturous task Of wondering about a love that died And simply wondering …why? |

I am forever asking this famous question of "Why??"!! There is soo much I wish I knew the answers but, I may never know!! Keep your chin up!! Sometimes we just don't know!! This was a nice poem!! Take Care Bridgette Creation of woman from the rib of Man: She was not made from his head to top him; nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him; but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be loved." |

JML...I found this inspiring. I'm posting my reply to this as a poem titled "If I'd Have Never Loved" Thank you for the line and the inspiration  |

I've found that asking the 'why' question is not productive......so I stopped asking?!!! Great poem! Denise |
