Ending

As you turn on your heel
your back to my front
and walk away

Only then
do the tears
cloud my vision

Wait

Stay long enough
to wipe the tear from my eye
long enough
for me to tell you

I love you

This is sad and simple, and actually, quite lovely.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Tracey, this is so very heartbreakingly beautiful, sweet friend, I hope this is not a current feeling you have and now you can always confess how much you love your love without having to say goodbye ever! (sigh) This is so very touching, sweet friend, my heart goes out to you, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Tracey, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Thanks Pilgrimage, I appreciate the kind words

Ah Noah, you’re comments are always so heartfelt. Thanks sweetie

Kacy, yes, I’m sorry too. Some things just have to be I guess. I’ve got that song running through my head “you can’t always get what you want”. But I wouldn’t trade the memories for all the gold in the world.

Dunc, ah baby…you know how to press my buttons…a dare will always do it!! and yeah, I know you know too….i know  

Lyra, yes, it is straight from my heart. Thanks for the hugs…I kinda need them tonight

Nancy Lee, thanks so much…I haven’t been around much lately….dealing with my own personal drama I call life!! Lol. thanks for the hugs…they’re much welcomed tonight

Christopher, the poem was already written…the challenge was whether I’d post it. and hey, that’s high praise comin from a redhead basher!!! lol

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
