Background Don’t expect me to say it again. Of course I’ll never act on this, though I won’t put on an act anymore. It won’t change a single part of your life or mine, and you know all of the reasons why. But the word is there, know that too; a quiet truth in the background of things, like the sound of wind, like surf, like the flow of sounds behind you in a shopping mall, like the beating of your own heart when you are alone, just there, seldom to be heard but once heard, impossible to ignore. When you hear such things, the sounds of life, wherever they are with you, know this truth: there too is my love. |

Jaime~ Oh my ... 'When you hear such things, the sounds of life, wherever they are with you, know this truth: there too is my love.' ... as beautiful as the heart of the poet that penned these thoughts~  *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

A perfect penning to show emotions and stance; It's sad when for whatever reasons that love can't act, but at least it can be known. I feel there are many who relate to this and appreciate your poem. Sadie |

In the background of all of our lives there is the truth which once faced comes to the forefront and buries us until we wade through it until we sort it out. |

How incredibly beautiful! *S* I love the promise of this... Love doesn't exist because of a proclamation any more than it disappears when voices are silent. Excellent work! *S* |

I remember you from my last time here. It seems so long. The kind of love you are talking about here it is the right kind to have if you can't be always with that person. I try to have this and I wish I had thought of writing this poem. |

This won't be the first time, or last, that you've made me cry. |
