It seems the old aquaintance will
not go away from heartstrings still
though only sorrow does remain
of what was once loves special flame.

It haunts at times hard to ignore
like New Years eve, I once adored
this man so fiercely it was grand
to feel the slightest touch of hands.

It was ten years ago last night
we spent our first time, reaching heights
of understanding and of love
And now, whats left? There's nothing of..

A simple message on a screen
generic Happy New Years eve
it seems a crime to come to this
just memories of New Years kiss.

Yes, sometimes the memories haunt for a very long time don’t they? Wonderfully written, but such sad reflection. Hugs to you sweetie, may the new year bring new happiness.

Sandra....I have said a prayer for you..
for all the other ladies...at PiP and else-
where that are going thru this same feeling.

Lady...you are not anywhere near middle

chance...you will find what you are looking
for...

Very sad write, Sandra. Those memories can be haunting at times, but remember the best is yet to come. Good expression.
