Maybe you are incorrect.
I know of such loss and pain.
Seeing a real babe of outstanding beauty, once so very vibrant.
I doubt that I'll ever overcome.
She is an ex that hates me, yet her purity in her picture hangs high upon my wall.

Is weird, as I've never dated; you don't when you've found the one and then she decides you're not. Real love over-comes everything.

Her mind and spirit is that which makes her.... Her body she will do her best to share. The lass I dated gave more than money could/can buy. Yet never will I get the chance to tell her.

This write hits right where it hurts.

Your love shines!

Writing about it will help you deal with, even overcome the pain you feel.

Michele, I can empathize with your plight - your struggles emotionally, the suffering that pain can bring to the moment and to your hopes for the future. Many in my family are afflicted in one form or another, renal failure, (our son) mental illness, (my sister, mother, and nephew) heart problems, Parkinsons, (Grandfather, Uncle) rhumatoid arthritis, the list is long and the suffering is real.
Sometimes empathy can be efficacious, but I am helpless to help, I know that, except to say that I understand because of what I have personally experienced with those family members around me and with my own self. Stand strong!

Your pain and ache weighs heavy on the heart of all those who care, often the night brings out our most painful memories but in dreams we can walk in the sunshine of what life should be...if only. You are a beautiful and talented writer Michelle...never lose sight of that.
