I laughed when you called me complicated...
after almost  two years
of not understanding you,
and the reasons behind your rhyme
somehow you had deemed me
as being "complicated"...

and I still don't understand,

but perhaps some things aren't meant
to be understood, or explained,
life is what it is, and we can only gain.

The laughter doesn't sound alone anymore
not since the minute you walked back in the door,
and suddenly it felt like it was back then

before "I just called to say I love you"
became our favorite song
I missed you so much even though
you did wrong...

my love did not stop,
nor did it fade,
I believed,
even when you said that I shouldn't,
but quit loving you?

         I knew that I couldn't.

I heard an old saying,
I've learned that it's true
"you have to set it free,
before it can come back to you"

So I set you free,
but held you near to my heart
allowing myself to be torn apart.
Oh yes, it hurt, I admit it's true;
but I held to my faith
in God and in you...

each time makes me stronger...
but after the fall....
we get back up and move on,
because the past is the past

and there is no tomorrow
if remaining in still waters


while the river flows on...

{from the ramble journals}


{Chances come and when they're gone
They curse the fools who wait too long
So let's take care of what we have
Before the good we know goes bad
And the beauty fades and just slips away
The dirty air, the dying seas
Will this be the world we leave
To the wild and young
I say, just look at what we've done
And right before our eyes
Today's yesterday
Could be tomorrow's goodbye} (Skynyrd)

we ought to get together and laugh, going though it.... keep venting it helps and when you need a shoulder you know where I am....

I keep a fragrance bottle my
muse gave me when I met him
in endless winter and he
settled me into remembering
who I am.

HOLY JESUS . . . you have read my mind.

Donna, there are so many layers here I cannot even begin to pull them apart, but of course I will because I have a big mouth . . .

The part about hanging on and hoping and never really saying goodbye?  That part . . .

whoever made up that saying about letting something go should be punched in the head . . .

This is beyond anything I could ever wish to compose.
