But hey, who ever said love makes total sense anyway. Thank you again for the comment. take care...dan
I have definitely been in situations in which people didn't seem to get it...that I need them gone, but they kept pestering me until they finally got it. It is frustrating for both parties I suppose. For the one who just needs his piece and quiet. For the one who needs closure, who has hard time letting go.

Young kids...so naïve and vulnerable. There's one in MY history. His name is dan. Thank you Nadia for your insight. take care...dan
It's never easy walking away, and I'll be the first to say that I'm terrible at it. Though I tend to always be the one that someone walks away from, rather then being the one that needs to walk away.
Sad but awesome, emotion filled piece!

I'm sure you've heard this a lot, but this is something I'm sure many people can relate to. You always write things that speaks to people on a grand scale and I envy that. A sad piece, but it spoke to me on a level I can't explain. Thank you for sharing it with me though, I loved reading it :)

And I'm sure that IS something a lot of readers can identify with. Thank you for your intuitive review. And when you DO become famous remember your roots! take care...dan
I can relate to your words Dan...not having the strength to walk away, but knowing I must.....It is never easy. Your words are heartfelt my friend and the music you chose is perfect for your wonderful poem.

I could not pull the trigger on walking away myself, never wanted to give up hope for fear of admitting I had failed. Young and stupid, that was me. Thanks for your great review. take care...dan
great song....i like the poem...please if you aren't going to love me, just let me go...if you don't want to stay, walk away rather than making my life so painful..
feel the tug of this one.
