Wrong Number 410-323-75XX, no! That’s not it… How could I forget what once was important, What was once stitched into my heart? These last few months I have been a ghost, Floating from space to space Occupying the purpose of time, with a smiling façade While my mind has been lost in memories, Basking in the good times of the past When our love was so strong. 410-363-72XX, no! That’s not it… As I try to remember but also try to forget What we once shared--- But it is so hard to let go, when you want to move on, Made more difficult by these taunting visions That dance mockingly in my dreams; Thoughts of another drinking her love, Bitter now to me, but sweet as honey to him. 410-623-527X, no! That’s not it… But do I actually want to hear her voice again? Will that mend the strings of this broken harp? Will we once again make sweet music together? Or will I continue this lamenting, torturous poem of my heart, Just to admit to myself that I still love her? Marcel |

Don't get bogged down, my friend. Dust yourself off, get back on that pony, and ride! If it is meant to be, that lost love will return when you least expect it. All as long as you pine away, as long as you lament, as long as you try to change this fate, the farther away it drifts. As for me, I let mine drift away and found another, better, beautiful, the mother of my son and my beloved stepson, a woman who adores and cherishes me. I have found a woman that has given me that which has made my life complete - that which a lost love not only would not - but could not give. She was a lost cause - better off she was gone. Look what gift have I in her stead. She, like my wife, may be waiting just around the corner. Take off your blinders my friend. If she does not return, God has a better one on the way. Rest assured. BTW, beautifully written poem with a great message and one that I equally understand, appreciate, and empathize with. I enjoyed reading it and even remembered how disappointing it is to go through that. If it conjours feeling in the reader, it's a good write. A lesson to live by. Sorry for the long reply. Warm regards, Kevin |

You're only two digits off; how many combinations of numbers is that anyway. Enjoyed the poem! .....jo |
