Even though
I have never been
all you must have wanted me to be
and should have been,
I do never and will never regret
the past shared...
that which can never be taken away from me
even though the sadness and hurt
tried to steal those moments
when I thought and knew I was truly happy.

I will always have your back,
and remember all those special days,
even when you no longer remember or care to remember
because it was not I who wished the ending of...
nor the lusting of another,
nor the want of something else to fill
whatever it was that you thought I no longer had to give.

I can't think of a birthday gift or card nor do I really wish
to give of one, not wanting to lead you on or back
to something that you finished for me.
But I can thank you for allowing me to free myself of you
in a more than timely fashion, showing me
even if in some ways that your words belie your feelings,
that there is a mutual respect,
one that others cannot really understand...
But one that remains between us.

Today is one of those days to remember..
Happy Birthday

I think it's wise not to have regrets for what has been .... you have walked together and parted. But all the love that has been shared is not lost.
And sometimes it's fine to remember!

Melancholic, but also wise.
Beautifully written.

Love, Margherita

boy this really hits home...I can remember getting a phone call...a phone message mind you, which said...sigh, this is hard, but your not the girl for me...and that was ok...but a phone message?

anyways...there is much truth and heart to this...and sometimes we'll never know the answers to all the questions...but maybe we can find some peace in understanding we were simply not the girls for them...which in the end, maybe is a good thing? Can't make someone love you if they don't nor would we want to.

I love reading you, as you greatly parallel many things I to went through, and we're not the only ones my friend...perhaps in the end, we got of a little better for it, then some? Hugs to you...always, this was beautifully written

Must have taken a lot to write that.

Excellent words as usual.

Thank you...today is my husband's( the one who lives in the barn

for now) birthday...how do you celebrate something that use to have meaning for well over 30 years???

anyway...it's not much but I am taking him out to dinner with a few of his closest friends, otherwise he would be spending it alone in the "bed" that he has made.
