I know I don't love you
I've finished the hurting
And started all over alone.
Most days I don't think of you
More than a moment
It's been a long time since you've gone.
But sometimes a song
Brings a flood of old longings
That wash all the hatred away
So that I see the man
Whose caring and gentleness
Guided me through yesterday.
The thoughts of our good times,
Though shadowed by bitterness,
Make me wonder what might have been
If with all the regrets
And in spite of the failures
We could have managed somehow to stay friends.

Toerag: Thank you, kind sir... I hear and obey! *G* After all... if our fellow posters are gonna come after you, it will probably be to clap you on the back for your great work... not to string you up for mine! LOL

Love is one thing, friendship another. I'm sorry you could'nt keep the friendship. Keep
writting. Enjoy your stuff.

Suthern, you are excellent! I know you've been hampered by those two,uh, usurpers hanging on your coattails dragging ya down, but put away those foolish things and spread your wings and fly! I have no idea what I just said......what I mean is this is a wonderful poem. More, please!
