A Hazy Sleepwalk of Misery

Posted by James Browning on

Finally the realization has come to get on with my life. You’re not coming back. For a year I’ve lived in a daze; one day after another just a hazy sleepwalk of misery. I may not be able to stop loving you but I have to wake up. Somehow, someway I have to move on. S.T.

As of now, I am moving on.
Through and out, this hard time.
The clouds will clear, and the storm will pass.
Things are looking up, as I raise the mast.
Sailing on, and moving out.
From these dark days, I muster all my clout.
I am ready, to start again.
Just to see, where life begins.

A Yearning Comes Over Me

Posted by James Browning on

Some days I’m fine and on others just OK. Then there are days when I’m reminded of you like seeing a couple in love, a song, a movie, a place, or something someone says.  Then a yearning comes over me and I’m reminded how deeply I am still in love with you. C.B.

 Sometimes,
when one person is missing,
the whole world seems depopulated.

Memories that Refuse To Go Away

Posted by James Browning on

In the fireplace I burned all the cards, notes and keepsakes of us I could find. The few still scattered through my things are now each rediscovered as a greatly cherished treasure. All I have of our time are those scraps and a head full of memories that refuse to go away. J.R.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
J.R.R. Tolkien

Smile Because it Happened

Posted by James Browning on

Loneliness that felt like it was going to kill me is mostly gone. There were moments when the pain of missing you made it hard to breathe. At times now I look back and enjoy good memories; sometimes it still hurts like hell. You’re in my heart for the rest of my life. D.E.

Don’t cry because it’s over.
Smile because it happened.
Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss)

If…

Posted by James Browning on

Without a word, you just left!  One day your phone was disconnected and your apartment was empty.  I thought you were in trouble, but a letter arrived two days later that said you had fallen in love with someone else and moved to Texas.  I hate you. F.R.

If I never met you,
I wouldn’t like you.
If I didn’t like you,
I wouldn’t love you.
If I didn’t love you,
I wouldn’t miss you.
But I did,
I do,
and
I will.
