Sometime Love Must Die |

I thought about my feelings- Then I tried to sort them out. To put my thoughts in order... Find out what life's all about. Was what we, lightly, once called love- A real and lasting thing? Or was it merely passion? A flighty, passing fling? Then I recalled the tear drops- The heartache and the loss, When at last I realized- The line I must not cross... I'm sorry that I hurt us- I fully take the blame... There was a time or two I woke... Up. Calling out your name. I'm glad that we're still speaking- Though we can feel the strain- We keep our conversation light, To keep from causing pain... It's best to let the old wounds heal- Let sleeping problems lie... But still it is a tragedy- That sometime love must die. |

(big hugggssssss) This is so very sad but beautiful, sweet friend, love can indeed die but there will always be one true love that will always live on and I know you will find it with a golden heart like yours! (sigh) This is wonderfully sensitive, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet John, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

I can relate to this, it is beautiful that you have been touched with love but to hide what you feel is the worst thing, I am going through this not being able to say how you feel just incase you open old wounds. Keep the memory of the love you shared. Beautiful poem. God Bless, Clare Life is about change,sometimes its painful,sometimes its beautiful,sometimes its both. |
