the song plays and I'm taken away every phrase is another memory every note is another piece of me I remember when the phrases used to be complete and the pieces of me fit in with the pieces of you we would dance by moonlight daring the dawn to come and when it did we would hide ourselves in night's final cloak fading away with the light the song ends and another one begins but for me there will never be another melody another song like you ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Sven, some songs are meant to end. But you never know, one note, just one note may get through. More hugs, ME |

My goodness, I wish I had read this before I wrote and posted Sweet Memories for I think this is much, much better. I like this very much... |

I always believed this to be true, nor another "moment" nor another "time" yes, it is true.....especially in reference to songs... Kathleen Blake "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |

May you find a new tune and someone to hold. Dance in the moonlight and forget the past. |

Nobody can tug the tears from my eyes like you can, Sven. To be honest I find it a little unnerving! (couldn't find a smilie to echo that thought so I'll use this one - *sheepish smile*) "One out of four people in this country is mentally imbalanced. Think of your three closest friends - and if they seem okay, then you're the one." |

Oh, this one is so tender Sven! It makes me picture like a summer romance or something..a holiday romance and then you're both forced to return to the real world but in the back of your mind you always remember "that one summer when.."..Oh my I'm rambling..Anyway, good stuff. |

AD dear heart I've been absent from my keyboard for a couple of days and return to find such beauty as makes my eyes ache with unshed tears. This is utterly gorgeous love, truly fabulous, although I would have almost guarenteed that this would be excellent because you wrote it. But it's even better than just excellent, it is a perfect jewel. (So did you miss me?) No I know you didn't even notice I wasn't here, except maybe it was a little quieter, I know!! Take care love as always Bubbles Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Sven--This is very beautifully done...love is like a song....and the melody lingers in our memory, long after the song is played. |

This sounds so sad, hope all is well. Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning. |

Touching but sad piece Sven. There is always different beat to a new song. (unless it's Brittney Spears, LOL) Ok,....couldn't help my self! Bad time to crack a joke.....Sorry I hope that the song I carry remains with me for all time! Good to read you again, I've not had time lately to do so! ~Sheri "The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first" |
