Your touch used to bring fire burning hot
Now ashes are left where love was not.

Your delicate kisses used to suspend in me
Now crash landing we're no longer a "we".

Your arms used to embrace with tightest grip
Now all I feel is you letting me slip.

You used to make love like you wanted more.
Now it's hurry up so you can go out the door.

You used to mean it when you said "I love you".
Now you only say it because you know I want you to.

You used to sleep with me til I could hear you snore
Now the beer in the fridge calls for just one more.

You used to see me smile after a night of bliss
Now you ask "Why ya crying? What did I miss?"

You used to be my love, my life in every way
Now you wonder where it went and when it went away.

Live today as if it's your last.  Love today as if it's your first.   Lisa

(sad sigh) Oh Carolina, this is so very sad, my heart goes out to you and your tears and I hope now love has again filled your heart and you again sing with its beauty and trust! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is breathtaking! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Carolina, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Carolina,
How can they be so clueless? Sorry! I can't help myself. Well done but challenging thoughts.

Carolina - well done....I know that feeling of "I might as well be talking to myself" and then....suddenly you are. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

Carolina, and you know, the dumb guy doesn't even know what he's missing. What a tragedy.
