if I'd only met you when when skies were blue and trees were green and love was all that it could mean but, I didn't meet you then if I'd only met you when when nights were long and days were fun and love was found beneath the sun but, I didn't meet you then if I'd only met you when when lonely times were all I knew and all I'd need was found in you but, I didn't meet you then if I'd only met you when or if not when my love, then soon with stars above the face of moon but, I didn't meet you then if I'd only met you when if I'd met you when and not now I know someway my love, somehow we would have found our love then ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 02-14-2001).] |

...think you just returned the sigh, Sven. (o: This is a lovely piece. Thanks for it. Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Missed opportunities, lousy timing, and regrets that just keep us wishing for otherwise... (sigh) I like this one a lot, Sven. |

You have so touched on something that's been on my mind lately.......that timing.....and what could have been if it were different......Very well done. To capture and live a moment is truly living |

if only .... if only..... damn! i HATE it when this happens... enjoyed this very much, sven, but don't you think we could eliminate the if onlys and just follow our hearts sometimes? or... would that be irresponsible? help me out here... please?? you ARE the good doc, aren'tcha? *wink*.... thanks for the read... timing is everything... or is it? do we have ANY control over that? |

AD dear heart, oh my what's that saying you will always regret what you didn't do more than what you did! I know, seize the day, it should be my motto I think. But I'll tell you one thing I'll never regret and that is washing up on the shores of Passions, where my life has been enriched by the presence or real beauty. Of which this is an exqusite example. Love this one absolutely excellant. Take care love as always Bubbles  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

I remember a song Lou Rawls sang called..."If I woulda Coulda Shoulda" written by Ken Gamble and it's another approach to the same thing ...but this is so well done Sven I got with it so easy...take care |

Sven, We can't go back, my friend, we can only try and explore the dreams ahead of us. You still have many journeys on the horizon. Someday the timing will be perfect... Much love, Elise |

Sven, my dear, I made it here with only one stop along the way (sorry I got distracted ) and now you have forced me out, so that I may go and cry! Always beautiful, friend."And I wanted you to turn away. You don't remember, but I do. You never even tried..." ~Fuel |

Thank you to everyone that replied. . . *sigh*. . . I'm glad that I could touch all of you in some small way. . . it makes me happy. . . I really hate "what if's" and "should have's". . . you should at least do one crazy thing in your life. . . just once. . . take that chance. . . sure, it might not work out. . . but you never know until you try. . . Thank you all again. . . you're all wonderful friends and poets and I wish all the love and light in the world!!!  ------------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person.
