Last Goodbye By Paul Wilson Today we buried the dreams and plans we shared in our heart Strangers we have now become both ready for a new start We have gone separate ways each looking for better things Not too long ago vows said our love pledged with wedding rings Will you know me tomorrow if by chance we meet again Will you recall the past shared between two lovers back then You called today just to talk we met again, one more time Words said…our feelings exposed secrets revealed…love was blind Papers signed…new life begins take your papers…leave my heart Time spent together as one over…time for a new start Will you remember me now if we should meet on the street Will you turn and walk away as lonely heart skips a beat Should your phone ring with only silence on the other end I must admit…it was me not saying goodbye again ~~All~~ This is not an actual experience by me, only a fictional story "To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you" [This message has been edited by Paul Wilson (01-20-2003 09:53 PM).] |

Paul, Glad you commented about not you..I think you captured divorce quite well, and the sad realization that at least one is not okay....loved the last couple lines...and, I know that does happen, only my last long-term and long ago boyfriend would call and talk in Chinese (He, nor I are Chinese) and I'd keep politely repeating, I'm sorry, I can't understand a word you are saying.......only for the silent hang-up...as time progressed he did tell me that was he making the phone calls to hear my voice....odd, what break-ups do, and how hard it really is....for all concerned....but, life goes on and we learn.....or try to, anyways.... This brought back memories, both good and not so good, but that is why I love poetry so much, it touches our very souls... Thanks, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

 (big hugggssssssss) Oh Paul, I'm so happy this is fictional to you, sweet friend, sadly it is real for me in recent terms and Joanna doesn't even want to be my friend anymore! (sad sigh) You fit well into others shoes so compassionately, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Paul, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Fictional perhaps... But a universal truth as well... |

Hello Paul, I am glad this is not written about yourself. Separation and divorce are so hard. You have captured what it must be like extremely well. Hugs, Marti Most of us go to our grave |
