In the beginning
I couldn’t help but to think
We were brought together
For some Divine purpose
Still unknown to us today
Help one another to heal
Gain our hearts back
Like to believe
We achieved that
We can move forward
In our search for the
One in a million
Taking only
Fond memories
When they cross my mind
They will bring
A smile to my face
A peace to my heart
Even if our paths
Never cross again
There is a part of me
That wants to hold
Onto you forever
Can’t help but to think
That would be too easy
Loving someone else might
Diminish the memories
Though I have grieved over
What might have been
I am thankful
That you came into my life
Even if only for
A short period of time
It is possible to
Bounce back and move on
Without you even
Being aware you had done it
You made me believe
True love can not be denied
Where there is love,
There is hope
Love leaves us
With only one choice,
To forgive
You gave that to me

I felt that pain when my first love died
I felt it again when my next one walked away
it is the same pain
I gave up on forgiveness
could not figure out how to forgive someone for dying
could not understand what good it would to to someone without
remorse
Thank you for your wonderful words of love

It is well that you see it and watch for it in yours.
Rather reminds me of the 'Reason, Season, Lifetime' philosophy which always makes me cry.
Love leaves us with only one choice,
To forgive"
Love, genuine love, the kind that pulls us out of self-involvement and into other-involvement is a sign of absolute trust, and that is a wonder, and for that we should be grateful.
Very nice poem--bracing and thoughtful.
I will be back on later to reply to each one individually. Have to do the thing we call life, and work.
Note to Jack- The cowboy and I are only friends. It is hard to have a romance with memories.
This poem was actually kind of inspired by a friend of mine.
You captured that so well here.
Indeed!
Rated for we're going to love even when we actively resist.
Thank You!
Forgiveness is a very confusing thing at times. One someones has to forgive within their own hearts, in order to heal and move forward. That kind of forgiveness the one who done wrong doesn't ever have to know that you forgave them for what they have done. You're not fogiving them for their benefit and to help them, you are doing it for yourself, to heal and find peace.
It was something I had to learn to do 4yrs, to find peace, heal, grow, and go forward.
It was a feeling I have often tried to put into words, but haven't succeeded yet.
Thank you
I will have to look that one up. It rings a bell, but I just can place it right now.
Thank You
Yes- it is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.
It is also better to feel pain, than feel nothing at all.
Thank You
I will admit, I have never loved that deeply, or been loved that deeply in return. Neither have I ever lost so deeply.
This poem was inspired by a good friend, who has loved and lost so deeply. In the short time we have talked I have learned, what it most feel like to have, loved and lost so deeply.
Maybe one of these days, this hopeless romantic, will at least know what it feels like to have loved so deeply.
Thank you
But on the second hand it does feel really great, to not have to hide behind a screen name, to be safe. It feel kind of like remove some of the bars to my prison cell.
Thank you
When are we going fishing?

Charlie- That wistful feelings that you get at the point where you have found peace, and are comfortable with moving on, is worth all that you felt before. Some times the memories are what helps us through, even if they are painful or joyful.
Thank you so much for the compliment on the poem..
"that standing in-between place, when we first realize that love is undefinable, indefensible, and impossible to confine or destroy."
You are so right on the money on this.
Thank you!
So here an answer on that one. He turned out to be a HUGE HUGE player. One of those that I tell, "You can ride out on the same white horse, you think you rode in on."
I sometimes think it would be so much easier to just be my, hopeless romantic recluse self, hide from the world, and write and draw. But that would be giving up, and I am not good at that. smiles
Thank you! Hugs
I don't think we pay enough of a tribute to the power of love, and the strenght to rebound, to love again. Thank You!
It is great to come on here, I miss everyone dearly.
Huge hugs
thanks
Thank you! hugs
You are so welcome.. Thank you! hugs
