* That is not what I meant at all Nor thought to see a teardrop fall… Alas, I find my tongue too sharp- Too prone to criticize and harp. I meant no harm, and that is true- More so to such a one as you… Who only kindnesses have shown, The fairest I have ever known. Alas, I find that once they’re said- They fill the heart with nameless dread- And trust and confidence mistreated… From being hurt, have both retreated. * That is not what I meant at all… Now I am feeling very small… I sorrow that I’ve made you cry- And now I fear, it is “goodbye”. |

Gunslinger, Seems to me that an apology that sincere would abort a goodbye. Just a theory. Awesome write. I like the rythm to this piece and the message. The surprise ending kinda hurt though.  |

I have found if they really like you they let you get away with lots of stuff...but everyone has their limit so be careful...James |

What tumbles out without thought often has consequences we never anticipated... I like this excellent write, GS. *S* |
