But on second thought…… Aren’t you the one That left me broken-hearted Leaving me shattered So a new life I started But on second thought…. Maybe in your arms Is where I belong Perhaps all this time I’ve been wrong But on second thought…. We did have troubles As couples often do We could bring out the worst in each other You know, that is true But on second thought…. I really did love you With every part of my being Maybe this really is you The NEW you I’m seeing But on second thought I can’t forget Why I said goodbye The pain you caused me Clipping my wings, never letting me fly But on second thought….

Very good, Marina! This is something that we often go through when we have to let go of someone we love. Your words ring true to the very core of my heart. Very imoressive.....I like this one! ![]() ~you reached inside, you touched my heart, and I am all the better for it~ Terry A. Woodson, Jr. |

Marina this is lovely. But on second thought it is precious. Exactly the feelings I have been experiencing for the last year or so over a past relationship. The second thought concerning the pain always wins the battle. Keep writing beautiful message filled poems like this...I need them. James |

Be careful of those second thoughts The deciding factor too often results from undue pressure ... take your time ![]() Rex}>{{{{o> |

Marina-girl... seems to me you've already made your decision...your last several poems have been showing your strength... this one says a lot too of your reservations... we do second guess our hearts dont we...the see-saw of love... Im no one to give advice... I always follow my heart...fall on my face a lot too(smile) sometimes we learn all our lessons the hardway...several times ![]() take care, stay strong jm Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |

Marina, I think that you've made your decision too. . . but you can't second guess yourself... you have to go with what's in your heart. . . and find the strength to follow through.. . you can do it, I know... this poem says it all. . . -------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Oh man...the story of my life! You too, 'eh? ![]() Why is it so hard to separate our emotional thinking from our rational thinking? I never can decide which one rules! My head or my heart, which one knows best....? (sigh) Hang in there girl...and yes, take your time! No rush! |

Nice writing Marina. On second thought, it was better than nice, it was excellent. Think we all have those second thoughts at one time or another. Probably a good thing! |
