This womans heart
   is torn in two
One half belongs
   to him
The other belongs
   to you

How do I explain so
   that you can understand
That the thing
   he gives to me
Is something you
   never can

You are the wind
   He is the sail
      You are the fire
         He is the hearth
            You are the storm
               He is the shelter

And how do I
   tell him
That without you
   I am incomplete
A half empty wine glass
   a rose without a stem

He is the anchor
   You are the ship
      He is the roots
         You are the tree
            He is the wave
               You are the moon

I cannot say to you
   You are my only need
I cannot say to him
   You are my only dream
I can only say
   I love you...both

You are the sea
   He is the shore
      He is the earth
         You are the sky
            You are...
               He is...

God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown

Wow! What a dilema!!!!
I almost envy the person who could have two such consuming loves. Goosebumpy stuff!!

You have rendered me speechless. You have reached me deep within Paula. I can't even write so I will just say this was very heartfelt.

so many feelings and yet, how can one's heart be torn in two?!? I, would give anything to say I don't know how you feel. But I do and I can tell you that your situation is not easy! (if it is yours to deal with) I hope you work things out...Keep your head up, things will straighten out with time!

~*~Why is it that love always
starts with a HuG
grows with a kIsS
and ends with a TeAr?!?~*~
