| Today I woke up with a hurting heart, But it wasn't from medical problems. It was from a forgotten love of my past that painfully re-entered my dreams. During these dreams, I felt as if I were reborn. I felt the feeling of love again without a worry in the world. It was she who made me happy, It was she who opened my heart and committed murder to all my pain. However, this murder wasn't total death. The pain came back and it came back to stay. Now it's infected and peroxide doesn't even foam... So maybe I'm not normal? I'll probably never see her again in this life unless she continues to peacefully visit my dreams. If she does, Maybe one day I can stay, Stay with her in another world, Stay with her in another time, Stay with her by not waking up... At least my heart will never hurt again! |

| 'Today or When' is one of my favorite Hardy poems... It's very down to earth and to the point. It easily gets across the feel of pain and frustration in the poem. And I have been through those painful memories now and then. People I've lost along the road that pop up in my thoughts and my dreams to make sure I haven't forgotten. I won't forget. I never will... This is an excellent poem. |
