Waiting and watching, What will the answer be? I've revealed all the future soon I'll see. Will the future be us? In God's will I trust. But what if no? What will I do? I will not leave, I will be strong! I love her so, for always and forever. Love will hold us but fate may keep us apart. What is age? Is it not just a number? Or is it more? Life experience? Pain? I say her name over and over. I picture her face and know I'll always remember it. No Regrets? No! I regret nothing! Relief has come, a relief I owed myself to get. So this is it? All we can be? Friends! Why friends? Can we not try for more? Do we not owe it to ourselves to try? Obviously not. And now we drift. Apart. Like a balloon released form a child's grasp. But can we getr it back? Can the closeness that we achieved be regained? With all my heart I hope so because the hole in my heart is growing with each passing day, with each gust of wind which takes the balloon higher and further away. I have moved on, or, at least I tell myself that and I try. But I still want you, I still need you there, to have and to hold. I love you still, but now, I feel, with a different love. A love of a friend which needs to be nurtured to draw us closer than ever forever. |

The age thing is what caught me. Though I married someone 7 yrs older than me and it's worked quite well. The age barrier can be a problem sometimes. Just thought I'd let ya know that. Enjoyed this poem |
