There Was A Time There are times when my words touch no one, but me. Times when the mirror kisses me back with a smile, probably in ignorance of what the day has in store for me. I hear you in every song, some bring rise to tears, once of sadness, now of remembrance and I can even picture the dance, the hold, the face close to mine and I can sigh, knowing there was a time. I see you every day, and there is no recognition of what use to be, no butterflies wishing, no flood of warmth wanting. Still I dance each night to the tunes of loving, remembering that once...there was a time. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

M, this is beautifully written sadness. Time doesn't make the feelings go away, as some say. |

Rosebud1229, sometimes I wonder how 30 plus years of caring can eventually become just a memory. Thank you Donna, hugss M Lori, I was trying to write something a little less sad...*s M Midnitesun, well I am surprised at how little the feelings show anymore... although the inner thoughts are retained forever.  M Ethel, I am not sad when writing these feelings...I am actually smiling knowing there was a time that I felt loved. And at least I have that memory... Thank you for reading *s M |

Okay...this one is really well done nakdthoughts. It is sad and yet within the sadness there is the memory of better times. I like this a lot. It is so real and heartfelt. Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history! |

Eventually the person becomes less painful than the loss of belonging... Loved it! Susan |
