Round Two...



Round Two...

We did this once before...
everything was about as perfect
as it could be...
and then you disappeared.

Nothing...

Just silence.

I never knew what happened
that made you want to go.
Did I offer more than what you wanted?
Or did I not offer enough?

Was what I thought was great,
only mediocre to you?
Or was there someone else all along?
Or could it be
that you just don't trust yourself
allowing someone that close?

I stopped trying to figure out the "why"
a long time ago.
I stepped off the world
when you left...
just like you did in my life.
It took a very long time
to find my way again.

Now...

Here you are again.
Smiling, friendly...
a little nervous perhaps.
I'm very nervous...

And the first thing that entered my mind,
"why?"

I don't think I can take another
vanishing act that you perform so well.
I don't think I can handle
the fall out that my heart will have
if that were to happen again.

But...
if it means I'll see your smile,
taste your lips,
gaze into your eyes...
and feel the love you bring...
then God help me,
I want it all again.

I may never find out "why?"

I may never trust you completely either.

But...
I do want to be close with you,
even if...
you're gone the next day.

I owe all of you an apology.

I realize it has been quite some time since I've been around.
Sometimes real life has more challenges than one can keep up with, and still come here. That's what's happened here.

Work has been more demanding than it has ever been. And just so many other things are pulling at me, demanding their time, also.

But, I'm fine. I'm slowly moving through all of it. Somethings can only be done at a certain time, and pace.

Again, my apologies for not being around. I've really missed ya'll... and wondered what everyone was up too, and how they were doing.

One thing... then I'll shut-up. For those that are constantly in my thoughts and prayers, I haven't missed a single prayer for you. And I won't.

I've been here looking for you from time to time. I'm glad to hear that you are "coping". As always, your writing is beautiful and touches my heart........it sounds a bit familiar. I also relate to this piece in so many ways.....as one who has experienced both sides of "vanish". You are in my prayers always as well, and I do hope you never forget that. 143.....always.

Shy... in the near future days, I am going to say some things that probably won't be welcome around my home... but they are words that are in need of saying and a long time in coming. Thanks for your friendship. It truly means a lot. warm hug, me

Flinky, thank you... I know you say all this in sincerity... and it's much ly appreciated. I'm afraid though things around here are not going to settle down anytime soon. Much longer now, even after I put up this poem. Things do have a way of piling up. Hopefully, I can manage. 143, me

Angel... One thing I don't forget is prayers... as you well know. I appreciate you stopping in whenever you can. Yes, you do understand a part of this... but after it was written, I found out so much more about the person this on is about... and their very "unique" and "unbelievable" gift they gave to me... without my even knowing it. 143,2 always... me

pd... I promise to take care of myself. I have to do that. So many things now depend upon my doing so. So, I will take the time to stop, eat, sleep, and monitoring my health. I haven't forgotten about your wish. I just have to prioritize somethings first. Can you bare with me? Hope so, hug, sweet one, me

RM... thanks darlin. Yes, there is a lot of inspiration here. And if you read what I wrote to Angel, you also know that there is a lot more than I ever imagined. I'll try and fill you in as soon as I'm able. Missed you, too. OH! I did some time "under the stars" myself! It really helped to bring some things into proper perspective for me. And I gave "special" prayers of thanks while I was there. 143,2... with special hugs, me
