What's New
I had no idea you had left for 3 months or so
After the mail had stopped and phone calls would be no more.
The pain and hurt was more than I could tell and in some ways
I keep hoping you are still around and actually in my heart you
will always be.
We both were writers in our own right and people who longed
For someone just to hold us for the rest of our lives especially
in the night. We planned to meet and take the walks along the
beach in Biloxi. The time just never happened,and yet together,
you and I knew deep inside this may be what would be.
Our lives paralleled one another through child hood memories,
And how we always thought of life being with the same man for
Even 20 years from now for we believed til death do you part.
And yet the ways of old time religion we agreed had value but
could be no more for out of it we were condemned to hell.
I wanted to be all I could be and you said I could be more.
I never really understood that score. Just like today when I found
out you were no more.
We had a dreams and lives built on fantasy yet we hoped one day
it would be true but often alone and thinking about how all was so
crystal blue.
In our minds and in reality it had all turned so gray when you
did not come back the last time laying in that bed.
I guess all that I wanted and yet somehow not needed or said was
simple goodbye for now. It makes me scared and even fills me with night mares with people who are still around wondering if maybe
they too will leave and not say goodbye.
Some days it makes me not to even want to try� yet you would say don�t fall for the lie, be more than what you think you can and don�t you dare even cry.
For I want to remember you as the friend who so true.
It is you and ones like you who have now gone on and won their
race that made this world a better place. Perhaps in this I even see
His Grace. And since this isn�t goodbye� it will be�
See you later my friend.
