Chasing Shadows

Do you ever get times when you feel sentimental and reflect on past relationships?

Do the good times you had together run through your mind like a movie and bring a smile to your face?

Do you still feel that persons arms around you and the sweet taste of their kiss on your lips?

Do the moments of intimacy leave you aching for the warmth of their touch?

Do you sometimes wish you could turn back the clock and have all those wonderful moments again?

If you do... you are chasing shadows... life is cruel,

BUT...

It sure is nice to have memories.

I don´t chase shadows but they chase me - in my dreams! roll eyes smitten
Yes, sometimes we get maudlin and take the skulls of our former girlfriends out of the closet, and talk with them about their mistakes and why they had to be brought to a better place where they wouldn't be able to sin anymore, while I tap away in email with the potential next girlfriend. Sometimes the skulls whisper that they are jealous of these new women on the Internet, but I tell them not to worry, once the woman is here they will see she is good. After all, if she isn't, there is plenty of room on the closet shelf. laugh uh oh laugh
Only one smitten

He was wonderful....I say that in past tense, because he died. blues

NB: I did not kill him. christmas sad
I'd like to kill bloggers who create blogs and then disappear...laugh
It all depends on how the relationship has ended.I usually say' good riddance to rubbish"
what about you solly .?after falling in love with every second girl on this site do you remember your good times...
or its 'out of sight out of mind'
wave Nope...snooty ... I don't walk back on old footsteps... when it is done, it is done... If I ever get 'memories' of previous boyfriends... I get busy... Memories of previous relationships, in my opinion, sets a intangible bar for future relationships... I don't want that... Also, when a relationship didn't work out for me... I keep no pictures, no presents... Even chuck out things I bought when we were together... clean, green sheet.... thanks
Hi LFA wave

Yes, the wisest thing to do, for sure.

My first boyfriend and I created such wonderful strong memories together, I don't ever wish to erase.

I must say, he did set a very high bar for all others who followed, so completely understand where you are coming from...wave
Hey Berry hug... yeah, when your partner died, I think that is a total different scenario... It would take me quite sometime to heal...before I even could consider taking someone else in my life... I had interest of a very well known farmer in SA, who wanted to date me... Two years after his wife's death, he still visited her grave every Friday and the house didn't change one bit ever since she passed. That is even a more difficult intangible bar to compete with... how do you compete with someone who is not there any more? Needless, yo say... I didn't even got involved there... sad, but reality... teddybear
LFA,

...that's kinda sad when that happens huh...hug

I was eventually able to move on, unlike your friend who was overcome with grief.

...but when I dream...he is there....smitten
PS... although I didn't get involved with that farmer...I pray that my husband would love me the way that farmer loved his wife... she passed on a Friday, and her grave is a few yards away from the house...Every Friday she got fresh flowers and on her birthday and Christmas... he lit a candle for her... for future relationships that is debatable... but that he loved/still loves his wife...that is for sure... sad flower
Berry hug ...yeah, again I can't helping to ask why bad things happen to good People... there are so many bad abusive relationships, but then a beloved partner has to be 'taken'... I am happy you are okay and also wish you someone that wouldn't change past memories for you, but someone who will continue where the old memories ended...bouquet
Yep...totally get that.

A death of a partner is different to a mutual parting of ways.

It leaves dreams unfulfilled. A tremendous loss, particularly when the deceased loved the other equally...sad flower
Nice way to go LFA, I also get rid of everything as they are all emotional ties which we want to cut.hug
LFA things do not happen TO us (good or bad!), but FOR us!
PS...talk to hand ....My first love was a corn hole (thanks Mr Pedal for this nice, descriptive word) .... still praying for that first love love teddybear
Thanks M hug ... bouquet
What on earth is a corn hole? laugh
Yes, it's warming to remember past lovers. Once a girl earns her place within your heart this is not lightly forgotten.

Men don't make a song and dance about feelings, but our feelings run deeper precisely because they're not displayed on the surface. Just because we do not want to be with a girl anymore does not mean that we are as cold as tho we had never known her.
Obs....careful....you're in danger of revealing too much of your feminine side.professor

Beautifully said...bouquet
Have to laugh LFA....laugh

NEVER have I heard that expression before...neither does it surprise me whence it came from....rolling on the floor laughing

Well, I can be sure of one thing....Obs won't be back in this blog again....scary stuff for him....rolling on the floor laughing
Don't bet on that ... his only hole for a while... recovering from all the compliments heart beating ....laugh
Or maybe ...his mail box are flooded by emails after we advertised him a bit...wink laugh
Nah...he's gone....missing, presumed dead...laugh

He never responds to me....I always lavish him with such praise...and nothing...rolling on the floor laughing do you think he is trying to tell me something? laugh laugh
He doesn't need us to market him....he self markets, just by being there...there I go again...I gotta stop....laugh
wave Not really, there was only one anyway, and that was
four years ago. An occasional thought, but that's it.


LFA, I don't recall using those wordsconfused , as they
are usually not in my vocabulary. The American slang is
in reference to be being corn holed,blues Yikes.
Then again, I can't remember most of what I say.laugh
