I remember your eyes radiantly blue looking at me so lovingly, tenderly, precious. I remember how my breath caught and my heart seemed to stop when I'd notice you glancing at me. Again. I remember holding your hand hugging you tight showing you all the places dear to me here so few (my quiet life) but each one important in a special way. But I especially remember that night you, re-packing your bags me, sitting on the windowbench and you’d come over to me periodically sensing (sharing?) my heartbreaking ache and you’d kiss me hug and hold me. I felt so loved then treasured, dear, and I knew no matter the difficulties that stretched before us, far-reaching and seemingly insurmountable, somehow we would finangle a way to be together once and for always.

Love will always find it's way. regardless of distance or time. When it's there, it will never leave. Hope things work out.(if they didn't already) Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart. R. fox |

Ron - Thank you. It's a love in progress. And you are right...love never leaves - even if things DON'T work out. Janet Marie - Thank you so much! And thank you, Kit! Amy - Thank you. How often I repeat to myself, "if it is meant to be, it will be." Still daunting to look at what stands before you...to keep pressing forward. Yet the rewards at the end will be soooo worth it! Victoria - Thank you. Yes, I met the Biki. He seems to make a point of meeting all his online friends when he travels. He's a good man. Jeffrey - Thank you so much. I have faith in my love and an endless supply of poetry to share here - no fear! "A smile is when your inner beauty comes outside." |

Oh yes I know this feeling well...the longing for a future you cant quite see or touch. Don't close your eyes to the possibilities |
