I've been sitting, wondering-
How things go with you?
And if we meant the things we said-
If all our vows were true?

The passions that we claimed we felt-
I wonder were they real?
And now that you've moved far away-
I wonder how you feel?

I wonder if we could have parted-
If we'd ever met?
I wonder how the plans we made-
We easily forget?

I wonder if this heart of mine-
Would know love if it saw it?
If there's a joker in the deck-
It seems I always draw it.

I wonder if this life could hold-
Happiness for me?
And if there is a place of rest-
Oh, say, where can it be?

*nodding in recognition here*

I've come across some royalty too, but never in the same suit as I! enjoyed.

We all wonder these things. You've put it into words wonderfully.

I take it that you two never met in person?

"I wonder if we could have parted-
If we'd ever met?
I wonder how the plans we made-
We easily forget?"

Sometimes these things happen for a reason John...and you move on to something that was *meant* for you...

have I mentioned how much I love it that you are back????

Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

(big hugggssssss) Oh John, for so long I have wondered this too, but I believe we all truly have a lodestar and if we follow it happiness is inevitable in its cause! (sigh) Keep believing, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet John, hank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
