Don’t Look Back < !signature--> Even though the winds of love now blow cold There will always be a part of me you’ll ever hold The candlelight flickers but the flame is still there Faint though it is it wouldn’t take long to flare But there’s no going back down that path of pain I’ll not be taking that direction, not ever again If I don’t face the future then I can’t see my past I’d be looking back to a love that couldn’t last I’ll follow my heart and learn all my lessons well I’ll look toward the future, not to my past souls hell Even though the sparkle has gone from my eyes There is still a place within me where hope cries The feeling that I could fan these flames to fire It wouldn’t be hard to get caught again by desire But there’s no point in holding onto what’s dead I’ll not be listening to hear what love hasn’t said Because the only way is forward, never look back Don’t put yourself on your past mistakes rack I’ll follow my spirit but listen to my head this time I’ll look to the future not confuse my hearts sign Even though the taste of your kisses have left me There is still a faint trace of their sweet honey I wonder should I keep trying to taste them again But I know that would only really lead to my pain Although they were very sweet they were not free Their price was my soul, too high a price for me Because the only path to follow is the path ever on Don’t try to go back to the place where love shone I’ll follow my destiny but learn to hear my own voice I’ll look to the future and I’ll make my own choice Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 01-24-2001).] |

There's a lot of good lines in this one, telling the ever-encouraging promise of moving on.  With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free.. dragonpoe |

you know love, you do this Romantic stuff almost as good as I do!! LOL  but seriously love. . . this is wonderful. . . and you know that I love it. . . and that's not a biased opinion at all!! ---------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Doreen love, thank you, but I don't know about inner strength, I do know that I don't want to walk down a road already travelled. Knowing that it ends in a ravine that is hazardous to my emotional health. And remember if you need me just call. Take care love Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

This was awesome,and since you're not entering that road won't you grab my hand and yank me back, as some days (recently) I seem to be at the entrance to it? Can I be your willful breeze, Come to touch, Your heart to ease? |

I’ll follow my destiny but learn to hear my own voice I’ll look to the future and I’ll make my own choice ____________________________________________ This is one of my many favorites of yours sweetie... I appreciated this read as it clearly defines strength that one has gained from the blossoming of a love once shared... Absolutely an inspiring read... *~coco~* |

Temptress love, of course I will, for we've walked that path and we know where it leads, and that is not where we want to really be. It is so tempting to go back to think if I did this or I tried that things would be different. They won't be different love, they will be exactly the same. Giving love a chance is one thing throwing your heart onto the nasty sharp sword is another. And walking back down the road is asking for real trouble. And if you need help hold onto my tail feathers and I'll help you come through. Take care love Mushy CoCo love, thank you so very very muchly, it took me a while to get to this point but now I'm here I intend to make sure I go forward. Take care love Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
