First one then another, stairstep tears to mark this day. As the clock begins its run, chiming thoughts flood me this way. Feeds the drought, the emptiness, whetting feelings flowing strong. Within this heart, the day appears to empty tears of memories' long. So this the last one to be felt, to know it's over, said and done. No more Augusts' day the second, what once was shared, is now for one. "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

Mike...thanks for being so nice when I really needed it..I know you are busy with your personal life...makes me happy to think about someone happy..if that makes any sense to you...hugsss Barry, Thank you for understanding...it's strange when a day that has been celebrated for 30 years has no meaning to one partner...but it was expected...and next year will have no meaning to me. *s M |
