When did you last tell me you loved me? When was the last time my heart skipped a beat? How long ago were we both consumed by passion? And basked in love's glorious heat? My mind tries to resurface these memories But they seem to be lost in the fray Oh how I long to hear "I love you" I wish you could say these words today You used to live deep inside my heart The place you took as your new address How easily I would succumb Whenever I felt your warm caress But like an ember that has died in the fire So have the sparks between me and you There's such an incredible amount of distance And love has all but vanished from view The bridges of love have been frayed You no longer seem to care how I feel Unlike when we first met long ago When so easily was my heart yours to steal In denial am I as I sit here All alone as I stare into space No love remains anymore in our cabin Was I to blame for this gradual fall from grace?

SueTang~ This piece oozes such sad longing~ When love departs and leaves no forwarding address ... it's hard to believe it can be found again~ But ... it can ... you just have to open the cabin windows and let fresh, new love in~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Needs change, chemistry changes, interests change, we keep moving, sometimes in diverging directions. Is anyone to blame? You've captured well, this hollow pain. |

Sad longing is right....I've been here.... reconnecting at even a deeper level then ever befor is possible....hard..... the decision of what YOU want is the hardest Connie |

Stop, acknowledge, feel, ponder, learn, grow, and move on... easier said than done, I know, but the road keeps going forward if we look up a bit to see it... Heartfelt write, Sue. -MVS "When you tell the Truth, you never have to remember what you just said." |
