"...I can't make you love me, if you won't..." that should be the last words before slamming the door on his face.
Is like standing outside on winter, naked, and refusing the invitation of roaring flames in a fireplace.

I love that preface song, Belle and I could hear Bonnie Raitt humming in the background as I read your words that beautifully echo the lyrics. It is so sad when love is gone regardless of which end of the loss you are on and I truly think that a kind of love lives on even in the one who must move on....bittersweet no doubt. Love cannot be forced...and to let it go gently is so much better than demanding it remain leaving everyone without hope. Tell Fee I said it's really ok for men to cry.

Love,

Taylor

as i was reading it, i thought it was done to music and there it is in the footnote. Your a songwriter,La Belle and speaking of "...at the rising of the sun" you were up early! (by the posting time)
Oh, here comes the mp3 tune now, Bonnie. Hey how do you load an mp3 on this site to get it to play along? I don't even know how to do that here? Maybe you'll answer

Belle,
I was in this place in the year of 1991, I didn't leave until 2003, it took a huge toll on my inner spirit and healing powers. If it's over, trust me it's over. Walk on into the rain, walk on. (another song that is so true and beautiful)
You are a beautiful soul, Belle, you deserve the best in this lifetime, don't waste your energy on things that are out of your control. Live!
Peace, Love, and Light,
Amber "V"

And I can�t make you love me if you don�t
I could ask you to stay but I won�t

When love dies, it truly is time to move on, no matter how painful that may be.
