Feelings

What would happen if a guy wanted to fall in love and no one fell in love with him?
How long could he carry on solo before his journey came to an end?
I call it letting my feelings go back to the place where feelings begin.
They don't want to go back.
They desire to give.
To express themselves.
Take time to live.
Funny things happen when you begin to take your feelings back again.
First you need a crowbar to pry your fingers loose.
Those claws are dug in so darn tight you have to pry them loose with all your might.
Time flies by and you let go just to prove you can.
Then you panic for awhile and grab hold again.
Well what do you know finally after a while
you find you can let go and still wear a smile.
Please notice I'm not really trying to give anyone a hard time.
I'm only trying to let go of something that was never mine.
I'm tryin to bring my feelings back.
My feelings were reaching out to you
and suddenly there was no one to reach out to.

Been there and it is no fun. Nothing wrong with not wanting to let go when you know where you belong, the only question is how long can you survive while waiting for the right cards to be dealt. Great write from you and lends itself to a lot of speculation as to whether I have ever let go myself or merely talked myself into believing I did.

"I'm only trying to let go of something that was never mine."

And that can be unbelievably difficult. *S* You've written well of a situation so many of us have faced/are facing/will face. *S*
