I have been trying to figure out
what it is that I haven't been able to feel

I have been containing myself
here within my own personal
reality check...

    {and I kept running
    towards the answer
    that I wanted to find,}

while fleeing

from the one that I already knew...

In my hurry I tripped and fell
over my own self induced obstacles
until there was no place left
to run,

because the truth can not be out run...

I stood in the sunlight
for a few moments of linger
trying to capture the warmth,

to chase away the chill
of realizations
that in wanting so badly
to be something more to you,

I had failed to remember
to be your friend...

{forgive me}

I have failed you...
and myself...



It's better than I could have planned..
it's made me who I am...
{Trace Adkins}

I liked the way you worded this.  Something, I think, most people can identifiy with, maybe because we have our own built-in defense mechanisms.

Oh my Donna...this aches terribly.
Extremely well done.

It is when you change your path...
that you change your expectations.

Very well done, Donna...
full of wisdom, this is...

Wow! Donna,
That was incredible. I find this one a keeper. Nicely done. Miss ya'.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

(big angel hugs) I can relate to this too well, as the friendship must always live on if any relationship will ever work out, that is the golden rule in these arrangements! (sigh) I send comfort hugs to bring solace and wishing for the light of love to fill your heart always, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Donna, this is so beautiful....and I can certainly relate. I've made this same mistake before. I hope that in my relationship with my Love now that I have learned from my mistakes. I am certainly trying. We were best friends before we fell in love, and we are still keeping that part of our relationship, too.

I hope that you will find this kind of relationship, my friend....if you haven't already.
