You stepped into my yard,
And into my life
Somehow, you changed the course of events forever
It astonishes me the way you
Speak with nonchalance
Walk with the swagger
That makes you seem overly confident
When you're quaking inside
It's hard for you to speak
But somehow you found the way
Found the right words
That pierced my heart,
Then he healed the wound
And I was seventeen
And you were seventeen
We knew everything about life
Nothing about ourselves
And little about love
How you managed to teach me all that I could ever need to know...
Well, I guess that's the one thing I still don't understand
"Life is so short and unpredictable, Precious,"
You'd always tell me
"Love me while you can, because nothing lasts forever."
Spoken with the true wisdom of a teenage romantic
And heard by the heart's ears
I loved you with everything I had
And now that you're gone...
I have nothing


"Do not marry the one that you can live with. Marry the one you cannot live without."

you paint the picture of a young love, that never had the chance to grow. A flower harvested before its bloom. sad indeed.

Evening Words_of_Glitter,

A most powerful writing that happens I believe, over and over again, until one does indeed have nothing.

Can my nothing and your nothing sit down and have a drink?? It is a sad situation, I believe Bill may be right, even more awful, if true. But I shall keep on trying, and you will too. What else, in fact, is there, but the search for love?
Take care
Sandra
