Does anyone know the pain
of hearing again and again~
You're the best! A great person!
I hope you find that special someone!
In time, I suppose it could happen~
That elusive special someone.
Won't hold my breath in anticipation~
Nor belittle myself for trepidation.
Why pursue me? What is that you see?
The pretty words, the heartfelt gesture.
Without even trying, I've built you up~
Lo and behold! The "friendship" talk!
Its better, I guess, to know~
Where I stand, not a viable option.
You've gotten what you needed~
I can be shunted~discarded to the shelf.
Funny thing is, I will always be there~
In the background.
A half-remembered soul,
Quietly waiting, until needed.
I've no more expectations~
No more dreams of love.
I know that I can give,
I know there will never be a return.
I can be happy alone~
There for others, an optional option.
Sometimes~I am lonely~
I have myself and my heart.

Hello Ladestone!
Background is such a lonely place,
I was touched by your poetry,
Gosh, I allow myself to swim all over the place,as you shall...
To what "blue screen" to let people see what they want to see
remember use what your view of happiness
is,
so new and yet ancient...to you
Everyday is a new day, whether,
but do not quitely wait,
as you shall only succombe to that place...
let your perfect feet, run and feel the wind....
Love Soph
xx
yay:
So if these are sentiments expressed by others in conversations, who are the opposite others?
Sounds like divorced couples. It's almost always the others fault. Is there realy The One out there?
good write
of hearing again and again~
You're the best! A great person!
I hope you find that special someone!"
I hear you had the best. There sure want be another like him.
And your better off alone.
Real encouraging. I to sit on the sidelines. Not knowing if I will ever be a couple once more. And it is ok. I enjoy my life, friends and family. And maybe one day it will happen once more. This flower will find her garden to set roots once more. Untill then I still laugh and live.
