Placing his hand in hers |

The painful realization, when I held his hand but she, his heart and the only thing left to do was place his hand in hers where it belonged I would not hold him unfairly to what we'd become As, even I, saw her beauty but moreso, his smile when gazing upon her and heard him laugh that rich laughter I hadn't heard in oh so long now I would rather see him happy with her than struggling with me In love he is so beautiful And so I chose to love her for what she gave to him instead of what she took from me Not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. |

Bigger....I don't think so, probably just more weary. Thank you, Sunshine. |

Ahh, then Tovi, gentle smile, you shut the door and then dropped the key. That takes more love than most will every possess... |
