Alone we still stand by Pierre Ortega Saturday, July 22, 2006 Not rated by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan
You set my mind to wonder I can't begin to understand how you can say you love me so completely and not reach out to me as I reach out to you when all I offer is the caring you demand. we've stared for hours at the precious light that shines between us while we've held each other's hands. We've laughed for days in the joy that surrounds us yet in fear and pain alone we still stand. Why? When we could bathe forever in the never ending stream of comfort that flows between each other's souls if only you could take a chance and try to understand, We're really both the same lonely and lost in this foreign land unless you open up and let me in.

Great! When you give someone your all you expect the same back but life does not give us that opportunity to fall in love with someone who shows their love as we do.

love deeply effects us in many ways and it always seems to leave questions, doubts and anxiety is there a true perfect love that humans can share with each other. This one really is wonderful expressed once more Pierre. :) Joselyn

I know the frutration of love such as this. I eventually cut my losses and walked away. Of course, being alone is...hmmm lovely at times, but the constant thought of being at a loss, not effecient enough and to have a one sided love...just was wasting my enrrgies. It's like this...if you love then live it; breathe it; allow the passion to be all consuming. To not have love reciprocated in this way is a loss that will scar the tissues of the delicate heart. When you profess love...be love. There can't be a compromise. I feel every letter, every word and all the movement and anxiety one sided love has brought me in the past. I feel for you. Susan

TRUST lacks in so many partners. FEAR is the blasted culprit! There is afterall only FEAR and LOVE in this world. If her fear is too great and insurmountable you'd be better off reconsidering the connection. ( only my humble view) Exceptional work as always.. Vesna:)
