LOST AND GONE FOREVER

LOST AND GONE FOREVER

 

You might call this a thank you

note, it sure is not a poem.

 

I don`t know how long I loved her

maybe always, but at least a couple

years.

She was young but very smart and

a professional by choice.

She was beautiful.

And, she thought I was something

else--something special.

 

Eventually the well went dry.

 

While I knew her, she was my most

important advocate.  She supported

me in every pursuit.  She wrote

glowing reviews of every thing I wrote.

 

There are no words to thank this lovely

lady for all that she has done, but

just in case I`ll try----Thank you.

 

She has been a gift.   A gift that I am

unable to repay--- she has given to me

many little pieces of herself.  Now she

is moving on and I will forever be in

her debt.

My love goes with you,  my friend.

 

----  John Crowley

P.S.   No, she is not deceased. She is

much more alive than I will ever be.

She has more important things to do.

interesting.. this makes me want to know more about what happened between you. i find that as much as i can i try to support my supporters, but that sometimes they get too big for the world that contains them. maybe this happened here. maybe you fell asleep or she did. maybe there was a fight, wherein one person saw the other person as guilty when all it really was was suspicion due to what broke before the other one came. this makes me consider those things. the people i cut out and those that see me as nothing. there are those to whose lives i've changed and they've changed mine--but a hate steps in to alter our humanness and it doesn't leave, like something dead. it stays forever.

Nice writing. I really like this.

awww, just remember, its better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all. :/

Wow, I believe a tear just rolled down my cheek. This girl seemed to be very important to you. This was really intense, I am so sorry that you lost someone so close to you. I know the feeling though, and what hurts more is they leave you by choice.

The greatest thank you is to carry her in your heart always.

this is heartfelt and sad. I think that people like this stay with us even when they are gone.
