When you loved me I was special, < !signature-->people looked at me different than they did before. When you held me in your arms, you granted me butterfly wings allowing me to soar. When you said you loved me I felt special, I felt fascination, inspiration, and at long last -- anticipation. Your love gave my day promise, gave my heart direction, granted my life destination. Whenever I doubted I was special, all I had to do is read your gifts of poetry. So many beautiful words dedicated, I still cant believe you wrote all those pretty words just for me. When you loved me I was special, then one day in your eyes -- I saw her reflection. and in that moment I knew, I was no longer the exception. When I lost your love so special, I wasn't prepared for the pain in store. When I saw the way you looked at her, I knew -- I wasn't special anymore. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ..."when you walked into the room...I saw their faces--- did you know--you made it seem like time was standing still... and I felt---fascination... though I only knew you then--just casually... then you slowly turned and smiled in my direction... and my heart gave me away".... (Glass Tiger) thanks to "sis" for this one my sister is the poet I am but a shadow. by the light of poetry I read then dream [This message has been edited by shadow of poetry (edited 09-17-2000).] |

Now why does life have to be so SAD sometimes? So sad but so good... I know the feeling, but there's another feeling too... The feeling of "release" you get when you realize the other person isn't yours to worry about anymore. Sounds like you have some GREAT memories though'-)/ Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go. |

Once one has loved you then they will forever have that with them. They will know of the taste and feel and the torment of missing you. Love may not always shine forever in the ways that we wish but that doesn't meant that it always disappears all together. Beautiful entrance in your poetic "FIRST"....so "officially" I welcome you to Passions as well lil sis.  BTW.....you ARE special in my heart and ALWAYS will be!!

A very warm welcome...........This was a beutiful poem filled with saddness but truth. I agree with what Mark said.....I always wonder why the heart has to go through so much sadness but it is like the saying goes.....Maybe god wanted us to meet a few wrong people so when the right one comes along we will know. That is not exactly how it goes but close...... Take Care and Welcome. Jenn E |

Beautiful poem with feelings just pouring out. "didi" |

You sent me into deep thought with this poem. I could see the look and feel the loss... memories. You pulled a trigger with this piece. Well done! Welcome to Passions. Looking forward to more. Trev.

We learn and grow from everyone that comes into our life....unfortunately, sometimes we learn more from sad times then from happy...welcome to Passions...so glad that you posted a poem ! |
