How many times I wanted to pick up the phone and say: "Hello, I love you." How many times the ache of wanting you to want me, too, made me feel so heavy-hearted. How many times I went through days trance-like, denying my need for you, wondering if the day would ever come when you would need me. How many times, I wanted ~you~ to pick up the phone and say: "Hello, I love you." ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Kethry, thank you for the response. That was awhile ago, but, when I re-read, I remember, too exactly how it was. Thanks you so much for the reply. Warmly Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Pat ~ Like you, when I post poems like these, it brings the painful past to the foreground, and I remember. You sure can write a real raw write! Linda |

Pat, I've been there and she never picked up the phone. I believe this is one many of us can relate to. The stars will shine when I am gone, |

Linda, Yes, but it does not hurt anymore, that is the amazing part. We are left with growth and wisdom and more tolerance for others, etc. etc... Although to this day I cannot listen to sad songs, my favorite music is a soft instrumental jazz....but, no words, I'll cry (big smile) Thanks for responding.... Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

You've described those feelings so well the pain of remembering slipped through... but then I gave it the boot, dusted my hands... and said "His loss!". *G* Very well done! *S* |

regards, this was hard to read as the pain was screaming. I'm sorry he didn't call. But I have to agree with suthern, 'his loss, moving on...' Doesn't make it any easier though. Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |

Regards beautiful write...you "paint" your feelings well, and i could relate to this very much. im glad the sadness has passed somewhat for you, and that you are stronger because of it. as the saying goes, all things happen for a reason. take care of yourself. amy "love is like a butterfly-- |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Patricia, I know this ache ever so well, sweet friend, it just eans so much to me to have someone I could depend on whenever I feel down and just to hear her voice brightens my day, then I feel "Shouldn't I be a whole lot farther?" and I feel I haven't gone anywhere! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, I think so many can relate to this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Patricia, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
