Some Years Back If I ever thought it would come to this I'd have left it all behind some years back, before it left my heart and entered my mind. I don't even try to say goodbye now, I just wait to be able to breathe again- there you are on the grievin' end while I'm here on the leavin' end with nothing worth believin' in. You were like a piano and I played on the black keys, I suppose after so many songs goodbyes come with certain ease till they aren't even necessities. The last song won't be finished. I should have known it would come to this, the years have gone, stolen things so long forgotten, I don't even miss some years back. May 30, 2006 |

DixieDoodleGal~ 'the years have gone, stolen things' Sometimes that is a good thing ... yes ? *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

"The last song won't be finished. I should have known it would come to this," The last song will never be finished but slowly played over and over, each time more softly and sweetly. You Are Loved. |

Good one Dixie, and I really like these lines.... there you are on the grievin' end while I'm here on the leavin' end with nothing worth believin' in. |

I leaned into the words, knowing they are real... knowing what hurt your past and bruised your senses... but that was yesterday, and yesterday's gone... Now, feel the pride of coming so far ahead of the game... oh yes, feel the too. |

Yes, good write, Dixie, and I too like these words - "there you are on the grievin' end while I'm here on the leavin' end with nothing worth believin' in." But somewhere deep down we'll always find something to believe in - we have to.  |

I suppose after so many songs goodbyes come with certain ease till they aren't even necessities. I guess it's a blessing that wounds heal as time passes.  Love FNG |

You were like a piano and I played on the black keys, I suppose after so many songs goodbyes come with certain ease till they aren't even necessities. The last song won't be finished. I should have known it would come to this, the years have gone, stolen things so long forgotten, I don't even miss some years back. Life is like that...yanno, what seemed so awful, not ages with time, as we do ourselves...this was a wonderful write...enjoy reading you... |

"I should have known it would come to this, the years have gone, stolen things so long forgotten, I don't even miss some years back." So much reality in your writings. This last line highlights that very well. JL |

Dear Dixie girl!! This is so well written! I think it's my new favorite of yours.... for now! LOL I especially loved this verse..... "I don't even try to say goodbye now, I just wait to be able to breathe again- there you are on the grievin' end while I'm here on the leavin' end with nothing worth believin' in." Hugs and love, Ethel  |
