Kiss the Rain

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1You’ve been in my heart for so many years, never knowing where you were or even if you were still alive. I thought you ceased loving me long ago. Now to know you never lost what you felt for me renews the pain of losing you, but the joy I feel is so much stronger. M.E.

When it rains it reminds me of you.
Although 2000 miles away is so far away,
I still always walk outside in the rain
and kiss it just for you. It never fails me.
The rain will always come
and I’ll always love you.
The next time you see a storm on the horizon,
don’t worry, it’s just heaven doing me the favor
of taking you my kiss. Walk outside
and kiss the rain whenever you need me.

Long Ago

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1I was married, but madly in love with you. I never had the courage to leave so we could be together. Our paths have crossed again years later. There is still strong love between us, but today you’re the one married and I’m single. Is that my retribution for long ago? C.B.

Handsome mature man.

Those who really love you
don’t mean to hurt you
and if they do,
you can’t see it in their eyes
but it hurts them too.
Holly Black

What Was Once

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1There is regret in my soul that it took so long, but I forgive you. If there is still love in your heart for me, say so. It does not matter whether we are together or not. It does not matter if I ever see you again. Above everything what does matter is if you still love me. B.C.

What I have evidence of
in every letter, in every word….
Write no new letters,
speak no new words,
look no new looks;
only tell me,
years hence
that the present is alive,
that what was once, still is
and I am … blessed as ever.
Robert Browning To Elizabeth Barrett March 11, 1846

It’s Takes A Lifetime

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1I’ve accepted the fact that we can’t be. I’ve also accepted that you’re going to be that one person I carry with me for the rest of my life, the one that is always going to make my heart jump a little and my stomach tie up in knots no matter how happy I am otherwise. R.W.

It takes only a minute
to get a crush on someone,
an hour to like someone,
and a day to love someone,
but it takes a lifetime
to forget someone.

You Stole My Heart Away

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1My friends said, “you’ll be okay after a while; time heals all wounds”. So I waited through months and now years but I am just as lost and heartbroken as when she left me. There are doubts within that I will ever be alright without the woman who stole my heart away. T.W.

You stole my Heart away
You ripped it out of my Soul.
You had no remorse as you did the deed
Not a sign of the slightest control.
You stole my Heart away
Yet I take pity on your soul.
It’s lost somewhere
As your heart is bare
Without, and all alone.
You stole my Heart away
But I’ll let you keep it, a little more
To show your Heart
How to See again
And how to hear once more.
Taken from “You Stole My Heart Away” by Nicole Chury

Safe With Me

Posted by James Browning on

If it were possible I’d bear your pain for you. But I can’t make the abuse you suffered as a kid go away. When things get to you, please remember I did not hurt you; I’ll always be here for you and most of all I love you with all my heart. You’re safe with me. J.D.

Only the weak are cruel.
Gentleness can only be
expected from the strong.

So Crowded With You

Posted by James Browning on

You pushed me away over five years ago. Our divorce was done twelve months later. You remarried two years later. I know we are OVER, but I still love you and dream about you often. Will my heart always be so crowded with you leaving no room for anyone else? R.Y.

I see you in my dreams, and awake with delight,
first thing in the morning, all through the night.
My heart can’t let go, even though I have tried,
I feel a part of me has been lost and died.
…I wish you happiness and I wish you so much love,
and I hope you find what you deserve, as it’s you I’m thinking of.
I won’t be selfish and to you my heart does send, this
message to the one I love and will love until the end.

My Beautiful Butterfly

Posted by James Browning on

I can go days without talking to you, months without seeing you, but not a second goes by that I don’t think about you. My beautiful butterfly, what we shared was short in time, but long in memory. Where ever you are, I cast my love to the wind in hopes it can find you. A.P.

Love reckons hours for months, and days for years;
and every little absence is an age.
John Dryden

I Still Love You

Posted by James Browning on

I was fifteen. You were a year younger. Now decades later I still think of you. My heart aches at times to know what became of you. We were each others first love; the one a person never forgets. I hope you’re happy and as deeply cared for as you deserve. I still love you. R.Y.

Something about first love defies duplication.
Before it, your heart is blank. Unwritten.
After, the walls are left inscribed and graffitied.
When it ends, no amount of scrubbing
will purge the scrawled oaths and sketched images,
but sooner or later, you find that there’s space
for someone else, between the words and in the margins.
Tammara Webber

A Blessed Curse

Posted by James Browning on

Love lost and long remembered is a blessed curse. Day and night my mind silently mumbles your name saying “I’m sorry” over and over. I became a clown in the circus and have spent my life painting a smile on my face every day and hiding underneath it. K.T.

You can love someone so much…
But you can never love people
as much as you can miss them.
John Green
