Tell Me Why

why does my heart absolutely crumble 

and begin to fall apart

each time I remember

those memories shared from a different time

a different place,

back when there were smiles to spare

and happiness was real.

I could feel it then

we knew it, too

and now 

waves of emptiness fill this space

and if I listen real close,

I can still hear your smile

if I could only catch my breath...

So beautifully captures the pain...the memories.... Yes ...when we love some one truly ....you feel them with every breath....even if they have moved on........

Thank you again for the kind compliments...

Yes, when love is real, I don't think it ever really ends... not in the emotional sense, anyway...

I have often wondered how it is possible to love someone for so long and remember them so vividly that it still catches one's breath. Beautifully written Princess.

Very easy depending on the intensity of the relationship....

Thanks for your comments and time.

Wishing you well.

oh I do not doubt the validity of the emotions, I just wonder why or how that happens with one or two people in all of our experiences with people, what make two people fall together, then apart, then forever in the mind when billions of others are forgotten so easily.

It's magic, my dear... sheer and beyond words to describe... meant to be... forever in the hearts and soul....

Thanks again for stopping by...

Love never changes, not true love...people may change... but not love...

wishing you well.

I will always love ....how could I not??? Especially him

-- there's music in your words, dear alisa... you invite the reader into the world of precious memories with a sadness which is heartbreaking yet infinitely poetic... -- when we're in the present moment and life is unravelling in real time, we often wonder about the past and how something or someone who seemed perfectly real is not present any more... we look for answers but sometimes no answer satisfies us... we simply long for what was... until one day (and maybe this just happened to me), we realise that the present is turning into the past so quickly that it is our only opportunity to create more precious memories... sort of like planning for the future by being in the moment...

we knew then, but despite knowing it, one of us crumbled away...me....

now the regrets are strong, because when i do remember....i do lose my breath.
