Raise your hand if you have been here....
___________________________________________________


Did you think I wouldn’t care,
When you walked out on me
Did you think I wouldn’t cry,
For everyone to see

Was I supposed to just forget,
The precious times we had
To just look away, like you,
And pretend I don't feel bad

I need your expert help with this,
You seem to know the rules.
Should I just nod my head, and smile
Who do you really think that fools?

Maybe I should make a joke of it.
Pretend that it’s all right.
Start dating lots of other girls,
And party every night.

Should I turn the other way,
When the whispers start to come?
And walk away so slowly,
When I really want to run.

I suppose that this will pass,
And finally ease it’s grip.
After all, I am adult,
Though, my ego sure did slip.

Your picture and the things you left,
I bagged and put away.
It was much too painful dear,
When they were on display.

Quite some time has passed now,
Since the night you went away.
I’ve made a slow adjustment,
And just live it day to day.

I don’t think of you that much,
Not like I did before.
Your face, your voice, don’t haunt me,
When I walk in through the door.

I’m seeing someone else now,
And she really calmed my fear.
I think it might be serious,
I haven’t cried this year.

Sometimes I think, what if, you know
What if we had stayed a pair.
But, then I smile, and realize,
I don’t really need you there.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

oh boy howdy my brother!
see tramp with both hands in the air!
interesting our paths seem so similar...
healing indeed... would be nice if it didn't take so very, very long.
been there, done that, got the scars...

Peggers~
Oh, you'd never guess which hand I raised ... maybe both ?

At some given time in our lives, though it may hurt like the devil, we move on, either by our own accord or because someone else sees to it that we must~
Healing takes time ... but once the light of tomorrow shines in someone else's eyes ... we then know that it CAN heal the hurt~

*Huglets* dear friend~

~*No matter what I search for ...
let me know when it is LOVE that I find*~ <))><

Raising my hand.....thats been there!
I still believe though....
better to have loved and lost than to
never had loved. Don't give up on love.
