There is a time for laughter And a time for tears There is a time for memories To reflect on the years There is a time for questions That make you ask why But now it is time That I say good-bye Sitting at my window While at my new place I think nothing's left for us Except empty space What will I do now How can I replace The sheer pleasure I got From the smile on your face I'll treasure the memories Of the times we have shared Just please my dear Lynn Please know that I cared So deeply for you And unlike no other My love was complete And more than a brother I do not take joy In this that I do But I do it for me And I do it for you You can not see clearly With me in the way That's why I must leave And no longer stay It pains me so much That we have to part But I walk now away With my heavy heart It's just for the best That I make a new start And maybe find some one Who'll inspire my art If our paths cross again It'll be truly fate But I can't help but wonder If now it's too late The bad blood between us Is causing a state Of anger and mistrust Which breeds only hate That's why I think leaving Is the logical answer Because I love you so dearly My little miss dancer You need to now go And live your life And I need to now find A relief from my strife Now for every beginning There must be an end And in every last road There's always a bend So please hear these words And the message they send Good-bye to you My dearest friend G. A. Webb Regret not that which you have done, Rather that which you haven't |

At first, I was worried you were saying goodbye to Passions, when I read the title. Instead a gut wrenchingly sad poem, it brought tears to my eyes hon. Sooo sad. Sorry things didn't work out, and if you need to talk you know where I am *hugs* There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

such great work...i'am using this as a card...for sure... "If our paths cross again It'll be truly fate But I can't help but wonder If now it's too late The bad blood between us Is causing a state Of anger and mistrust Which breeds only hate" painful but true If all was light...then I would have never learnt the dark...from which such truth evolves from which evolves the light...

Thank you both for the responces. I wrote this for somebody who I love deeply but can't. So I have to let her go, for her sake and my piece of mind. I just wish she loved me as much as I do her. Oh well. Thanks again.  Isis: Thanks once again for the offer. Maybe one of these days when I'm all setteled in at my new appartment I'll take you up on it. I think I'll blow your mind when you find out the things that have inspired my writing. ;-) Avanti: I would be honored if you used my words in a card. Thank you for such a great compliment.

I really feel for you because I know it is a tough decision to make...to break up or stay together and try to make things right..James |

I've always thought the good bye was the truest test of love, sometimes you have to love someone enought to let go... Great poem wonderfully written  Mystical being which makes ink flow Surround me in your incandescent glow Fill my brain with thoughts and rhyme As I try to capture but a moment in time ~Shan~ |

I love your work, I also had to let go after a 20 year hitch. “If our paths cross again It'll be truly fate But I can't help but wonder If now it's too late The bad blood between us Is causing a state Of anger and mistrust Which breeds only hate” No truer words have been spoken. Joel. |

This was soo sad, but I could see where you were coming from. You are a very unselfish man not only for her but also for yourself. Nice Poem, well written. Tracie~ Keep all the windows of your mind open Anne Rooks |

Wow, I didn't expect to get such a responce from my heart ache. Thank you all so much. Your support means the world to me. sports2girl: Ya, it is hard letting go of some one you love. It was one of the hardest things that I have ever had to do. But I think the hadrest thing for me was realizing that she'll never love me the way that I do her and for that I had to let her go. Thank you for your reply. I'm glad you like my work. jmlee12345: You're right. It killed me to have to do that. But like the old saying goes, "if you love something, set it free". Thank you. Isis: It will and thank you for being there. Starrgazer: This is true. I just kick myself for being so wrong about her, but I love her none the less. Oh well, hopefully one of these days I'll find another. Wish me luck. Thanks! Joel the wolf: Wow, 20 years. That must have been tough. Tell me, how are you now after having done it? Thanks for your reply. Sea: Hello sea. I didn't mean to make you cry, but I glad to know that I was able to put my feelings into writing so that others could feel and relate to what I am going through. Thank you so much. Tracie66: Thank you Tracie for seeing that. Everybody keeps telling that I should be more selfish. But I don't know that I can be that way. It's just not me. I suppose that path only leads to disappointment, being unselfish that is, but I just can't believe that to be true. Thank you again. Thank you all again from the bottom of my heart, what ever is left of it...lol. I thank God for letting me find this web site and all you wonderfull people. I don't think I'll ever be able to say good-bye to Passions nor do I want to. I look forward to reading and replying to more of your works and hearing what you have to say about mine. This is the only place that I've found that's willing to help me through this tough time. Thank you. G Regret not that which you have done, Rather that which you haven't |

Great Poem. So full of sorrow and heartache, nobody should have to go through that. Hoping to read more of your work soon. The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship." --Ralph Waldo Emerson |
