~*~ Why? ~*~by Mysteria Just when I discarded the thought of an “us”, Like last year’s birthday and Christmas cards, Here comes that familiar feeling again… A raging fire that has laid dormant for so long Now begins to slowly smolder amidst the Once cold smoke and ashes of my constant lament. I hear your voice, that familiar laughter, And I can't stop my heart from soaring to that Familiar unreachable summit of my being. Now fluttering and synchronizing, My memory reflects to the days, when a smile And thoughts of you were my constant companions. Why should I entertain the thought of forgiving you? Living without you was so easy, uncomplicated. There was freedom, a sense of order in my life? It was so easy to retreat behind my wall of anger, Protected from my feelings of rejection and pain. You did the dance…do you deserve a second chance? Well, I suppose that you do! Why...? Because I believe in you, and I believe in love; I believe in forgiveness, second changes,and, The possibility of resurrecting love, But most of all - I believe in me! ~*~ Mysteria ~*~ © Copyright 2001 All Rights Reserved [This message has been edited by Mysteria (edited 03-26-2001).] |

This has such a powerful uplifting message and spirit at the end...these lines sparkle: "Because I believe in you, and I believe in love; I believe in forgiveness, second changes, The possibility of resurrecting a love, But most of all - I believe in me!" ...your light shines brightly, Sharon!

I really enjoyed reading this one. It reminded me of something my friend always tells me..Sometimes human forgiveness is a selfish thing..sometimes you do it more for you than for the person you're forgiving..I thought this was wonderful.  |

The song in my head is: I'm just a fool in love. Funny how you are almost over someone, and along comes that feeling once again. We are so very human. "I am not now that which I have been." |

"Because I believe in you, and I believe in love; I believe in forgiveness, second changes,and, The possibility of resurrecting love, But most of all - I believe in me!" Beautiful, just beautiful. Life is full of second chances, we just need to recognize them. Thank you for sharing this! |
