life before you
I was six when you were born
growing up in different parts of the country
tender shoots in springtime
no way of knowing we’d ever meet
becoming friends
looking forward to spending time together
talking, going places, learning to care
becoming lovers
sharing the intimacy of our bodies and souls
bonding together in the rush of oneness
getting married
choosing each other above all others
making a commitment for a lifetime
the joy, contentment and security of a life together
looking forward to growing old as a couple
getting divorced
death would be easier
the loss of a love
the loss of a life together
mourning dreams and a future that will never be
acceptance
moving on
seasons in life
seasons in love
seasons with you
seasons without you
changing seasons is hard

Yes, I have a hard time letting go. Actually, I usually keep things and just put them away out of sight or range of hurting me. I guess you could say that I’m sentimental and a little foolish too! Thanks so much, Dear Fiona, for your sweet comment!
