I saw deep inside you deep in your soul Your love like a spell I had no control So many years passed and we stayed "best friends" promising each other that it would never end You went far away to become a Marine I stayed by your side and supported your dream I did everything I could to keep our friendship alive I wrote every day didn't mind the 8 hour drive I expected nothing from you you had all of my heart then came the day when it all fell apart Five months old is the baby the mother, no one I know a one night stand you tell me but how you love your daughter so Then came the phone call late the other night Kelly told me the truth nothing seemed right You told her you loved her you called her your best friend you told her you would fight for the friendship to never end Funny how you think that you know a person so well but no matter the years you never can tell Your world has no truth your heart doesn't care You fed me your lies now the pain I must bear As time starts to pass and love becomes hard to find trust that my memory will haunt you True love cannot be left behind "And I still believe you can never have too much fiction because reality is such a bore..." - REA |

This is very well written ... I can only say that time will heal most things ... but there will always be a painful memory ... when true love finally finds you for ever ... you will rarely look back Best wishes Rex |

And I hope it haunts him forever! This is a very emotional poem, and the ending wrapped it up perfectly. Peace Sandra |

You share the pain so fluidly. I share my passions so dreamly. I am here and you are here so we must support each other. Ronil (The sweet sound of summer sends serenity through my soul searching for that evermore solitude.) |

Lady I feel for you...it is sad to see love die...especially when you were so sincere.. You mentioned he went into the Marines... this reminded me of the time when I joined the Army and was sent to Germany and I watched one after another receive dear John letters from their girlfriends...it was sad...there was one man that had dated his sweetheart all thru high school and he wrote to her everyday...he was much more sincere than some of the others...it took about nine months but he also received a dear John letter...sometimes life doesn't seem fair but life goes on and I hope that you will find someone that will stay close to you and true to you...James |

This reminds me of the time that my husband and I were separated due to the Army. He was in Korea and I was in TX. We keep the relationship going and got married later though. I know it is hard and sometimes it falls apart. I hope that you heal soon. Love, Lady Live in my world just once and you'll find yourself enraptured. |

*winces* Ouch...I'm sorry if this is based on a real event...I know how it feels..*hugs* Very well done. With a little piece of tomorrow, You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye. Because today won't last forever, And the past will only make you cry. |
