Saluting with misty eyes

Why do I still love you?
Tell me
There is no absolute reason for it
We both know that it isn't doing us any good
It's not like you love me
Not by the show that you give me
Every time we speak
Your hatred is all too plain
What used to be doesn't matter any more
I try to hold my anger
Hang on to it until it warms me up inside
And makes my nights go by
But it doesn't happen
I can't hate you
The way you hate me
I still love you
No matter of the cost
We both know it does me no good
Yet I am unable to let go
The pain of losing you
As you stand before me
Filled with anger
Disdain in your eyes
Treating me as if I don't matter
Do I even exist
In your eyes or in your world
Am I just another obligation you must endure
To burn through the karma
You left on your soul from the life before
Or is it the cross I must bear
To pay for sins committed in a life once lived
Whatever the cause
Whatever the cost
I must decide how to leave you
And let you out of my soul
Out of my heart
So I might again sleep peacefully through the night

Brad:

you have NO idea how this rings true in
my own heart - I nearly died when I read this and you know why?

Because we are real - thats why . . .
and they are immature - thats why . . .
and it isnt fair . . .
it just isnt right

this is amazing

Lady- *passing a Band Aid for the boo boo* Thanks
Raph- That was but a lame imposter. I am the original... just don't tell him I said so. Thanks for the kind words.
Richy- TY
Sue- Don't die... you would deprive the site of your talent. I do think you nailed the explaination, though.
Ceinwyn- Thank you

Day after day I'm more confused,
So I look for the light through the pouring rain...

Oh, this one does hurt.
You know, sometimes the  staying  hurts more than the  leaving.

Good luck and heart hugs,

(big hugggssssssss) It is a strange feeling indeed, perhaps we fear for what lies head and am scared if the sacrifices we make lead to worse consequences, but the way I see it, you will be much better off if you make the move and look to find what truly makes you happy as the most chivalrous thing to do is to wish that someone the best happiness too and keep the friendship! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, I trust following your heart you will make the right decisions, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bradly, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
