Seven thousand days separate the time that I last beheld her from the time I first saw your image Seven thousand nights measure the span I have been on my own my bed empty, regardless of occupancy Seven thousand sins have been added to my side of the ledger while hers, and yours remained pristine Seven thousand Arias are sung between her own “night music” and your ecstatic psalms of love And today, I saw her And today, her smile gave me absolution pardoning me, from her heart to yours |

In its literal sense, 7,000 days works out to over 19 years, two months and seven days. We say take one day at a time... we don't look at the overall length, or we would say..."I can't"... This made me think of where my ex might be in his mind...he never went on with his life, and he might very well be saying something similar, with the exception that he wouldn't have put in the last stanza... This one hurts, Wranx...it is a song all of its own... A good read. |

"Seven thousand Arias are sung between her own “night music” and your ecstatic psalms of love And today, I saw her And today, her smile gave me absolution pardoning me, from her heart to yours" Amazing piece of work.. Has to be my favourite of yours now.. Into my library it goes! ~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

my bed empty, regardless of occupancy This would be going into my library for just this line even if the rest wasn't absolutely awesome. This does hurt... but it also offers hope... and it's just superb. *S* |
