Missing you, Poem #942 It will soon be that time of year, tears and memories and me not wanting to admit that day by day the memory of your face has become more like a pursuit, the day following the setting sun, melting slowly into the comfort of darkness and forget. Your touch I long ago painted with erase, my skin might crawl with the lacking of you but I plainly refuse to let it crave. The wiggle in my walk was always for you, just so you know, respect of your adore now wears my shirt tails long. But, my love, I wanted to reassure you, I am stronger. Now. I go days sometimes weeks without crying, but these long empty days insist I send you my regrets- time is slipping down my back into long curls and you are not here to enjoy them. They say that time heals all, but hearts, I firmly believe, must be immune because mine still hurts for you. [This message has been edited by jellybeans (01-29-2003 02:01 PM).] |

I can say nothing to do justice.. so will only say I read it and know sometimes the depths are never bridged. |

JB, good to see you here again today. I really enjoyed this, though it was sad to me. Missing someone can be very hard..  "Love makes the world go around" |

‘It will soon be that time of year, tears and memories and me not wanting to admit that day by day the memory of your face has become more like a pursuit, the day following the setting sun, melting slowly into the comfort of darkness and forget.' and 'But, my love, I wanted to reassure you, I am stronger. Now. I go days sometimes weeks without crying, but these long empty days insist I send you my regrets- time is slipping down my back into long curls and you are not here to enjoy them.’ I loved the title and was even more impressed with the poem. Amazing after 942 times, you could say it as if it were just as painful as the first time. |

I started copying and pasting my favorite parts... and realized I'd copied so much I had the entirety. *S* Some are unforgettable... and though the pain might ease, the missing will continue as long as does breath. I can't think of a better tribute to him, lady. |
