Could it really have been an entire year?
Of lessons learned
Of sparks exchanged
Of passions set afire
Of love proclaimed.
Of words set to record
Of caressing your core
Of desire fulfilled.
Of prior journey's ignored.
Of promises made.
Of plans begun.
Of longing ended.
Of hope to be sung.
And the universe declared: "Denied!"
This was written for Michael, who said "I love you and I want to take care of you" and saved my life, by talking me into quiting smoking...when I unknowingly had a 97% blocked heart.
And then he died.
I wrote this piece not only for him, but for me...in hopes of letting go of some of the grief I was still feeling a year after his death. It was the first thing I had written as an adult, and it worked, on all levels.

I've wondered for years if this seemingly loving man from Wales is really dead.

Thanks for sharing with The Surreal Circus.
However, this is my last day of smoking (again)
I've been back to smoking for over a year and I want to live.
Good for you! Be proud of quitting smoking and live!
It would be interesting to see where their lives and heads were at back then.
SPAM!!
Congrats! You have been spammed in celebration of Gather's 7th Anniversary!
In a nice way! I'm putting that on almost all my comments today. :o)
He had planned on moving here and I think his family pressured him out of it.
I always wanted to be truly loved by a man.
At least for a long while he made me feel like I was.
Thank you Sassy.
I have often felt like that over some of my lost loved ones. I know the feeling all too well. In my dreams they are still alive, though, which means my dreams are always enjoyable. ;-)
I hope you are successful at quitting smoking. I quit 22 yrs ago and I
am thankful everyday that I did. (Especially when I see the price of a pack now) LOL
michael sends you love....i can feel it right now.......
