He Had To Break Her Heart |

There was a gentle breeze on that beautiful sunny day It whispered in their ears as they gleefully play They see the butterflies gracefully flying by They smile at each other With a little sigh Spreading the blanket out upon the soft white sand They sat down as he gently took her hand Looking across the water their thoughts were of each other Her thoughts were of their future His thoughts, not to have, he'd rather Knowing he would break her heart with the words he had to say She wanting them together for forever and a day He would have to tell her it was over for the two of them He was staying with his wife for she meant much more to him Never wanting this to happen the love between her and him Now, the thing he had to do so difficult for each of them But he couldn't leave her then when he saw her tears flowing He'd stay a little longer then HAVE to say he's going He's wondering how this happened how they got so deeply involved He only knew this problem had to definitely be resolved He's not this kind of person to break a heart intentionally But this affair had to end he knew for sure, eventually He had told her when it started he only wanted to have fun Not knowing that he would really care about this one He knew he would break her heart with the words he had to say She, wanting them together for forever and a day ____________________________________________________ (This poem doesn't pertain to me and Gary in any way whatsoever. I was just thinking about how the man might feel when an affair ends.) ____________________________________________________ [This message has been edited by garysgirl (01-22-2003 10:12 PM).] |

Yes, sweet Dixie, I know that you understand. I think most married men who start affairs don't really intend to fall in love. "Love makes the world go around" |

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Ethel, now I'm flooding in tears because this is ever so common and I don't want to be one of those men, as I truly loved Joanna and I mean REALLY loved her and didn't want to ever take her friendship for granted and take advantage of her, but in my case scenario it was my Joanna who broke my heart! (wipes tears) I only want to make my girl happy and love her from the heart and not constrain, restrain, or simply strain her in any way, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Uh huh...... another lesson learned the hard way. Funny thing how you can't just pick and choose who you're going to fall in love with. It's a dangerous game when you put yourself in to play. Glad to hear this isn't your story though Ethel. In the Midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you. |

Noah, I know that you loved Joanna. I'm sure that she knew it, too. It's just that the game people play sometimes, gets very dangerous....especially when a wife or husband are involved. "Love makes the world go around" |

Michele, Oh no. Gary and I are both completly un-attached..... in every way. He's divorced and my husband is dead. In this poem I was just thinking of how the guy might feel. When I worked at a factory (years ago), they told me when I first went to work there that everybody there was either divorced, in the process of getting a divorce, or thinking about getting a divorce.....So, many of my friends that I met there talked to me about their problems....men and women. I've always had some men friends who were nothing but friends. "Love makes the world go around" ~~with love and hugs from Ethel~~ [This message has been edited by garysgirl (01-22-2003 03:16 PM).] |

Salty, Yeah, I think most people who play these games don't intend things to get serious. But, they usually do. You know, when people see each other at work every day things just happen sometimes, if they let themselves ever get into that type situation. Oh yeah, I'm very glad, too, that this isn't about me and Gary. I thought I'd better put the explanation so everyone wouldn't think that it is. We were both un-attached before we started our relationship. In fact, that's how we ever got started talking in the first place. He was in the process of getting a divorce when my husband died. we started talking about everything and became very good friends before we fell in love with each other. Neither of us were looking for someone when we found each other. We both are very glad that we did find each other, though.  "Love makes the world go around" |

Very, very nice write Ethel. It was an interesting perspective from the man's side. I think some get very, very hurt while others just walk away without a care in the world. hugs ... Most of us go to our grave |

Yes, Marti, I do too. Some just play the game, not caring who gets hurt...the wife or the girlfriend. "Love makes the world go around" |

Hi Gemma It made me feel good that you noticed I haven't been around here as much lately. It's nice to be missed, sometimes. I thank you, too, for your kind words about the poem. I can always count on you to say something encouraging to me, even when I don't think the poem's all that good. By the way, I miss you when I don't see you here much, too.....
