But Now I Do

I have been in love again since I fell in love with you, but my heart has never felt so strongly since.  We were too young then to know the value of what we discovered, so it got lost and left behind.  I still carry you in my heart; always will I think. First true love never fades. J.B.

I wasn’t sure I believed in love.
Then I met you.
I wasn’t sure I could make love last.
Then I fell for you.
I wasn’t sure who I was;
What I wanted from life;
But now I do.
I thank you
From the bottom of my heart
For loving me through and through.
“Thank You” by Sarah Spoors

Beyond That Pain

I’m getting better and  finally am able to gladly recall some of our memories. There’s still a tear here and there, but smiles come regularly now. We didn’t fail. For a time we loved deeply and were happy. Because we are no more does not erase all the good we shared. W.S.

Many of us spend our whole lives
running from feeling with the mistaken
belief that you cannot bear the pain.
But you have already borne the pain.
What you have not done is feel all you are beyond that pain.
