Days of Absence

There are times when recollections of you float to the top of my mind and stick for a while before sinking back down into memory. Our wedding anniversary, the way you made my birthdays special and how much you love Christmas are just a few. I miss you still… B.G.

Days of absence,
sad and dreary,
Clothed in sorrow’s
dark array, –
Days of absence,
I am weary;
She I love
is far away.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Footprints on Our Hearts

When together we fought constantly and hurt one another badly. Each time broken up we missed each other to the point of madness. Once together the insane cycle began anew. It is time we realized the only way we can love each other is from a distance. A.U.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to new understanding
With the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile,
Leave footprints on our hearts,
And we are never ever the same.
Flavia Weedn

Life Without You

In time I’ll get used to the extra room in our my bed. The first night of sleeping alone was hard. I hardly slept and missed your warmth against me. The covers were not warm enough or soft enough to soothe me. I’ll get used to life without you but it will take a long time. D.C.

Giving up
doesn’t always
mean you
are weak;
sometimes it
means that
you are
strong enough
to let go.
