What would I give to be us, again I’d give up every story of every woman I ever loved but we’re not going to be us, again I hate the thought of fading away more than you know I don’t want to learn not to love you when you wake up one morning and I’ve gone know…that is why |

Oh Duncan, from a woman's point of view this was absolutely spectacular writing. To leave before having to learn to not love someone is the best way to leave and this about covered that beautifully. Enjoyed this and saved it in my library. |

The idea that the thought of someone fades away is truly striking...for so many of us search so hard for ways of keeping that from happening...[yes, I'm taking this reading on a different level] You do have a way with words, Duncan, and I for one am glad to read your poetry... |

I hate the thought of fading away more than you know I don't want to learn not to love you ========================= hey D? when you learn how to do this..will ya teach a moth? when my words fail me...I have one of the girls sing to ya..... "I'd rather leave while I'm in love while I still believe the meaning of the word I'll keep my dreams and just pretend that you and I are never gonna end" ... "you see I need my fantasy I still believe it's best to leave while I'm in love." Rita Coolidge moth anthems baby...I got a million of them. heart-hugs D mothyme How long can a girl be haunted by you ... |

ah - gotta appreciate the sentiment here Duncan (as usual) - but think you're aiming high if you think you can learn to unlove.  Chris |

I don’t want to learn not to love you Your sensitivity is boldly showing here, Duncan... but remember, that it really is better to have loved and lost than to never have experienced it at all. ~ loving sensitive hugsLyra |

whenever i hear that phrase, i always think of Men in Black... when Will Smith says "Better to have loved and lost..." and Tommy Lee Jones says "Try it." just a thought. |
