Sad but true… there are

Sad but true... there are people like this in the world. I don't know who is more melancholy - the victim or the perpetrator...

sad thing

is I would give it another chance. We were more than friends but little less than lovers. I sent her a message last night. I haven't seen her since 1983. Thanks for the read and comment. Take Care. huey

Like most of my work. This is based on real life, mine. The last thing she told me when I left was. Someday our paths would cross again. I burned all the briges when I left where I couldn't find my way back. And I put 500 miles between us. Now I'm making our paths cross again. I'm waiting for her to check her myspace. I'm OK no matter what. Take Care. huey

Good one Huey

I give you 5 stars and they go far lol I know you don't like stars but this one is for real. I also like poetry that is real to life and then I do at times write fictional ones. Oh my did I say that? Will be by to visit you more and I really liked the flow of this one. Seems I heard that same line when I was 19 many moons ago..someday our paths would cross again. that was 34 years ago!!!

Thanks Mona

this is a special poem to me. She wanted me to write a poem with this title. She did not like what my poem said though. But she said don't change a word if that's rhat you felt. another parting line was. Maybe another place or time we could have made it. I wrote better poetry back then when my mind was sharper. I have wrote some good fiction poems. Thsnks again for reading my work. I will get back reading your poemd and others while it rains this weekend. Take Care. huey
