Together

I'm not totally sure if it was feelings of love I shared with you
but I shared my feelings freely right from the start
and it's the same exact feelings I'm feeling now
right inside my heart
thinking of all the times we spent together
and all the time we've been apart.
At one time we did everything together and life was such a delight.
We shared romantic dinners by candlelight
sitting so close together in the silvery moonlight.
Movies made us laugh and cry
and the movies plot and adventure never mattered
what did was having you by my side.
So many times together horseback riding at Turtle Bay
those memories of ride em cowboy and cowgirl days.
Parasailing on the ocean blue and the picturebooks
still hold those pictures of me and you.
Scuba diving the reefs out of Coco Marina when we shared the adventure and the beauty of the sea.
We dived as a team together you and me.
I watched over you and you watched over me.
On all those lovely beaches we soaked up all that hot sun and together we shared in so much fun.
Splashing in the waves and then lying in the sun
I rubbed a ton of lotion on your back and legs
to make sure the burn would never spoil your day.
I thought those lazy, crazy days would never go away.
Sometimes you could be so sweet
and these were the times I felt so complete.
Together in your arms I found a resting place where I could never feel alone.
Just the thought that perhaps you needed me made me feel like I had found my home.
Today we're no longer together
in fact you did depart
still memories of all those wonderful times we shared together
occasionally linger on within my heart.

The memories you have described so well, and the ending is so sad. Well done, James.

I'm leaving the cat a note
Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town!

James~
this was beautifully but also
painfully sad. i am sorry you and
this person are no longer together
anymore. maybe in time, you'll find
your way back to one another. take
care!

Thank you Elizabeth, Amy, and Marina for your wonderful responses.
I believe part of the process of healing is to move forward past the hurt and pain and to accept that there was good in every relationship.     James

James,

I just love the way you are able to express what is in your heart so well.  This was beautiful, but sad at the same time.  Wonderful writing my friend.  I see you are working through it all very well.

Thank you Lone Wolf for understanding the things I am going thru.   My heart will take some time to linger and enjoy some of the fun memories...but my heart wants more than anything to journey on...James
