(big hugggssssss) Oh Donna, I know this feeling ever so well, sweet friend, it saddens me when someone is so scared that he or she would make a fool of him or herself when expressing love to another and before one knows it it is too late! (sad sigh) This is well-expressed, sweet friend, I hope you never had to experience that, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I liked this, creative and insightful even though it didn't happen.

I could feel how each of them felt.
Nice.

Oh, yes...there is no pain like that of unrequited love, I think.  And most of us just aren't brave enough to make that first move, because of the fear of rejection. This is a very poignant write, and one that I enjoyed very much.....

Pen how you truly feel...
it is a safety-valve for the soul!
    

Silent love, so how we fear rejection and in the process lose what might have been, only to fantasize, to dream, to do without.   A most excellent write, Donna.  Your poem makes me "think" and I so love it when a poem does that for me.  Thank you, my friend.   *hugs*

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn
