What Makes This So Hard I’ve thought that what makes this so hard to get over Is that I didn’t know the last time we made love Was really going to be the last If I had known I would have Stayed up all night long Watching you sleep and remembering Etching it all into my mind And willing you somehow To remember, too Before so carelessly throwing me away. I’ve thought, too that what makes this so hard to get over Is that I truly believe if I walked back in that room You would be mine again. And it’s occurred to me to do so Show up at your door one day But I’m not that brave, we both know it. It’s just that if I’d known I would have kissed you one last time.

This is so powerful. It brought tears to my eyes after reading only three lines. And I can relate much too well to the feelings behind this. Thank you. Kate |

JLR- i was almost afraid to respond to this. i know that might sound strange...but this affected me in ways i can't even put into words. just know you have written a VERY beautiful piece of work! your feelings clearly shine through in this...and though it broke my heart (for personal reasons as well)...i know you are going to be okay. there is a saying, it is far better to love and lose than to have never loved at all. it's given me some peace, i hope it will for you too. take care of yourself and remember in time...your heart will heal. ~amy~ "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words." |

Sven, Wynter---thank you both for reading yet again. Sven, I feel like you know me, somehow. Wynter, I feel like I really know you. Kate---Thanks, hope it was a 'good' cry and not too long. SEA---Thanks to your heart. Hey, you've given me an idea! |

Some thoughts...last kisses are very hard and can be very sad...we always want to believe there will be another... I do not show up at someones door because I believe they have the right to be alone, or with someone else they feel more comfortable with...I don't want to be with someone that doesn't want to be with me... you really got me thinking about a few situations I have been involved in lately...James |

Amy---Doesn't surprise me at all, your hesitation...I read your stuff, too. Thanks. James---Well, that could've been another verse, had I thought of it...it's not that she doesn't want to be with me...it's that she can't. Glad I got you thinking...I think. Ha! |
