today
it is progress
not to reach into my pocket
too often
forgetting

small steps
I don’t remember the ground
shaking like this
before

without you…today
suddenly
nothing is familiar

even love laughs
at the fools
who rushed in
only to leave
before the second act

even love hurts
without you
suddenly
nothing is the same

but I'm lonely now, and I don't know how
to get it back to good

This is too familiar...for I had a day just like this...and no one to tell it too

And so I'll remember you
I'll remember the days and the thousands of ways you pulled me through
And dream of all the things you've seen
Chameleons


Damn, my new sig line cut off...too many characters!! This is what it should have been...guess I'll have to find a new one

And so I'll remember you,
I'll remember the days and the thousands of ways you pulled me through,
And dream of all the things you've seen,
Of all the faces and all of the places you have been,
(Tears, by The Chameleons)

That's it Duncan. You've got the 'aloneness' feeling I know so well.

i'm telling you man, we've been down many of the same paths... routing it out, and well. i appreciate all this stuff Duncan, really do.

on a side note - this reminded me of a song by Savage Garden, which you may be interested in, called The Lover After Me. Just a point of possible interest.

Dang!  I feel so bad for you Duncan...
But, I am glad to see you writing it out.

Such is the feeling once felt
of love in life to the bone
Struggling to endure what's dealt
while living love when alone.

My heart is with you Duncan...

WE have all felt these moments...
