Thoughts Wasted Sometimes, my feelings are so bottled up that they spill over at the slightest thoughts of you. I touch a piece of clothing, remembering it's fit, and the you beneath. My eyes gloss over, tracing the memory of my gift to you, shelved for my view alone. My memories evolve around you. Words, poems, places, moments shared, thought wasted by one but never by me. I have two days to think, to either run away from or accept all... that what has happened, was meant to be. Silently, I cry tears of loss. In the distance, I hear the past, feeling alone and stranded in an unfamiliar world, again condemned to drift off into darkness without you. Was my whole life a mistake? Should I have reached out to you to ask forgiveness, or to forgive? Was there ever a second chance? The silence answers. My body teases me into believing that the voices I hear in the dark are yours. That the touches felt are not just those trapped in my mind. Some day I know we will meet again and for me, the desire will be only to see in the eyes, the return of a softness, that I believe is the real you. "For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. |

There was a palpable longing in this. I ached as I read it. Life is full of regrets and this is one of the most bitter ones. sky |

I could feel your pain Maureen, your questioning, your sense of loss.Love should never be thrown away callously if it can be redeemed, nor can it be one-sided. Your heart knows dear friend, listen to it!!! [This message has been edited by brianbeaudry (02-07-2002 10:34 PM).] |

Some loss is in some ways a gain ... I believe you have gained a deeper knowledge of "YOU". With all my warmth and ***sss |
