The words took a monstrous form after you left. Life turmoiled and shook tumultuously and I was left with just my ability to create again. The love you said left me wondering my what ifs and I promised to never love another. I broke that promise but it could hurt no one by myself now. You left me blundering and faltering looking between the cracks in the sidewalk for my soul and my faith that I would ever be enough or that I could never have the love I needed. It had to be true since now someone else enthralls me even more than you did, and it seems I'll never have his love. not the way I need it not the way that makes you think forever is caressing your life with grinning and boisterous fingers. Life took a different level of meaning after we drifted apart. That is how it happened, you know. We drifted slowly as our lives passed on to different places, and you became another what if another chance never realized another unrequieted fantasy my heart lunged after. Now lessons are repeating and I pray new love will survive the winter of wait. Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence. |

I liked this line very much, it is extremely descriptive of a place I know all too well. You left me blundering and faltering looking between the cracks in the sidewalk for my soul and my faith that I would ever be enough ... No one ever listened themselves into trouble. |

such depth of feelings...My...how love is so much of our lives and how we feel most every day. It shapes us, sometimes controls us and can make us feel so many emotions... Beautifully written... |

Hindsight is not a hindrance but actually a step back to find ourselves. From here there is always forward. Strengths unbound !!! |
