:hug: I'm marking this on the calendar as the first time I've ever been mushy with you, Samson! :hug:

Now that you mention it, you're right -- I've supported friends through some tard moves, too. :D









Like telling PF getting the fluffy pink bathmats was a good idea.

:rofl:

That Lovin Feeling
 

Your thread impressed me,so,this one's for You!!

That Lovin’ Feeling

The sun set slowly, in the West..
That heavy feeling stuck in Her chest..
Remembering days, of once in Love..
Then suddenly ended, as if in a shove..

Getting on with life, a process so slow..
Still missing were answers, she needed to know..
Was I used? Was I foolish? Or was it just fate?..
Should I try again? Or is it too late?

She couldn’t deny it, She gave it Her all..
Even returning in sickness, She answered His call..
The void in Her heart, She would need to refill..
With someone more worthy, of Her Lovin’ skills..

A brief appraisal, was all that She’d need..
To see that life without Him, would go on, indeed..
Her trust had been shattered, the dream, was false hope..
In time, He would find out, that He’d been a dope..

Her friends reassured Her, it was nothing She’d said..
He needed to be responsible, for the lifestyle, He led..
Her beauty was obvious, and now much the wiser..
She’d find a new life, with someone who’d Prize Her..

It’s said that IT happens, when it’s least expected..
Not on a blind date, or with someone elected..
She noticed him passing, He seemed normal enough..
Built like a brick shithouse, He had the right stuff..

His demeanor was casual, His touch felt so sure..
Could this be Her answer? Or even Her cure?..
This time, She’d tread lightly, there’s no need for a rush..
An encounter with Love, and not just a quick brush..

Her hopes and Her dreams, all still lie ahead..
He’d need to show His Love, by more than words that He said..
And now into the sunset, they’d start off anew..
With lessons they’d learned, they’d find a Love, TRUE

Good Luck, Steph..

Nazzareth said it best, "Love Hurts" and Def Leppard concurred, "Love Bites!"

I have only had one true love in my life...and that was over 15 years ago. Since then, I have been married, had children and then divorced the one who was never my true love. Some say that time heals all pain, but I disagree. As I went through my recent divorce, I found myself crying not for my wife, but the one true love that I lost so many years ago. For me, I have arrived at the conclusion that there can ever only be ONE true love...the rest just help to fill the void. If you can put the past behind you and totally recover from the pain of "lost love" then I do not believe it was "true" love! True love does not come and go..."True" love sticks with you through eternity...Although it is clearly a different kind of love (one better hope), it is similar to the love a parent feels toward their child(ren)...that love never dissipates.

My true love was 99% right for me and maybe, just maybe 1% wrong. Yet I threw it away and have lived with that regret everyday for the past 15 years. Not a day passes that I don't think about her. However, I try not to let myself stagnate over the thought of her. I simply move on in hopes that I will find another "true" love, although I do not hold my breath.

She defined the term "making love" for me!!! When we made love, it was not uncommon for us both to simply hold each other so tight and actually cry together because of the emotional connection & release.

Sorry for rambling...this is probably the first time in 15 years that I have gotten that off my chest. I wish you the best of luck, and my thoughts are with you and your s/o as this must be a very trying time for you both!!!

Awwwww (((((divot)))))

Are you tempted to get in touch with her? Could that be possible?

Thanks for the moral support, Steph!!! Actually, I have made numerous attempts to locate her via internet searches, etc. All to no avail. Even if I did locate her, not sure that I could follow through with contacting her. Don't know if it's the right thing to do. Of course, I could always contact Montel Williams...he enjoys reunion shows (hell, is he even still on). I think that my inability to fully get over her is the reason I have not had great success in my subsequent LTRs...even my 11 year marriage, which has now officially failed.

Time helps some but you never really get over someone that burns into your soul.

There are two special women with whom I was intimate at one point in my life...to this day I really haven't been able to clense them out of my mind.

I suspect I never will....not completely anyway.

*sigh*

Oh (((Steph)))...nothing I say here or in a more personal venue will help! All the wisdom our Pixie family has contributed is all there is to say.

Keep to your new found convictions and the pain will dissipate as time goes on!
