I bet you wondered why today when you looked my way you caught my eyes locked on you sure they were dreamy and sort of far away but locked just the same I bet you wondered why I couldn't help but smile when you shrugged your head to your shoulder and grinned and I bet you wondered why your rhythm and the tilt of your head as you sat to think found me entranced I bet you didn't know that my heart jumped when first I saw you and I couldn't decide if I should kiss you or cry and I know you would have thought me crazy but I bet you didn't know that I had the almost irresistible urge to climb in your arms and smother you with three years of packed carefully away passion and no you couldn't know that you remind me so of him everything about you brought to life the memorization of my love and no you couldn't know that you momentairly knotted me to memories the pain of which I had just this year been able to turn loose but if I had found my voice I might have told you that even though tears stain the page as I pen this verse to see you living smiling and breathing makes his dying somehow easier to bear, and if you were ever to read this it would be a thank you to a stranger who never knew that he helped me turn the teardrops in my memory into smiles [This message has been edited by Corazon (edited 08-11-2000).] |

great to hear your spirits lifted ... hope this fellow contacts you and hope he turns out true ... it's a lot of hopes and wishes but things often happen this way fingers crossed |

Oh the miracles that happen without us or them knowing. I'm glad someone could bring back happy memories to a sad situation! Well written! <*\\\>< The will of God will never lead you, where the grace of God cannot keep you. |

Excellent portrayal of how much a stranger can somehow bring the memories back with both tears and smiles... But you know, that also has much to do with you.. Big HUSG |

thanks all, you know you guys mean so much to me, you all know me, know my tears, know my healing, and so you were able to let this touch you in the way that it touched me....thank you for being here for me to share with and yep rg....you are right, sigh...it was probably more of what I needed in me than anything in him......but....a smile is a smile and a tear is a tear...and I guess sometimes we need both |

Its funny the things that help you let go the pain...just goes to show that opportunities should never be passed no matter how scary or painful they seem to be, even something as simple as a strangers smile...smiles become realities |
