What Might Have Been - April 29, 2012

This is dedicated to all the wonderful men who have

been part of my life!  I have been fortunate

that many have remained friends to this day.

What Might Have Been

Letting go is always hard,

Especially for me,

When I find someone special,

I want them to always be.

Perhaps, it was intense too fast,

Too sizzling, too much heat,

But even with the temperature,

It  was tender and so sweet.

I'll cherish you forever,

The deep pools of your eyes,

I could languish there eternally,

Where your spirit lies.

Thoughts will come unbidden,

When I am far away,

I'll remember little things,

As I go about my day.

No dwelling on what might have been,

On imaginary bliss,

As I send to you, on angel's wings,

A tearful farewell kiss.
