Poem Artwork

You told me about him today,
And I have to say that happiness was not the initial emotion I felt.
It was sadness.
Sadness because once again I’ve lost someone that I had real feelings for someone more than a true friend.
And there’s more. I was jealous, too.
Jealous because the priorities I’ve made have stayed foremost in my mind.
So that I don’t seem to find time to enjoy other’s company.
Except for when I want something from them.
Yes, I can admit that for me people have their place
And if they stay there I don’t have to face other possibilities.
But when you told me about him today
The fact that stayed with me was the way you seemed happy.
And I like that. You deserve that.
Would I change anything? Probably not.
So enjoy what you have, and I won’t tempt you.
Listen to your feelings and try to keep them honest and true .
I’m feeling somewhat subdued but can admit that now someone else is there to finish what I started.
It’s hard to believe but I’m okay with that, because I love you. I love you.
Today and always you’ll stay a part of my life.

I can relate....I once let go only to get her back later. She realized that I was the one all along.

Takes strength and selflessness to have communication spoken honestly. Sharing this with my partners on PowerTalkFM.com in Atlanta. It's what their relationship show is all about. . . . honest relationship communication. Well said, and ditto on Jude and Mitzi. . .
