No Thoughts of You |

. . . . I hardly think of you anymore Unless I am rushing out the door And seasonal colours take me by surprise Like the first time that I saw your eyes. Thoughts of you no longer flood my days Except when my face feels the sun's rays Or it turns cloudy, rains or snows You made each day grand....I suppose. Memories now seldom haunt my nights Only when alone...I turn off the lights Then that vacant space beside me chills No longer filled with passion's heat and thrills. No, my mind's not rattled by your name Just when I cry and need someone to blame My life's too full for tea and sympathy Yet, I have wondered some - Does he think of me? . . .

I wonder the same things too, at times. Nicely done but so sad.... ~Elizabeth Dreams last for so long, even after you're gone... |

...does he think of me... and if so, how so? With regret? Longing? Relief? Remorse? Ah yes...sometimes we have to wonder. |

Feelings and questions that I have had, but never put into the words that you have managed to do so beautifully. EA |

A most beautiful write here, dear Lady. And, I think, it is a sure bet that he does think of you ... often ... and so it goes. |
