ALL THINGS LOVE **

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 37

his gentle heartfelt  words
use to bring me such pleasure
now they bring only pain
as ironic as that may seem
is funny how the fabric of life
can tear
and what was once so beautiful
and tender
now only floods a heart with
disbelief and despair
but I am strong
I've been taken in before
and shut out so swiftly
just as fast
I must hold onto the belief
that he did once love me
as he swore
this is not my first time to see
a man weaving his love craft
first came the storm
then the beautiful time of steady
cementing of feelings and
emotion's amazing growth
I was on top of the world
a lovely bird in the flight of swoon
I had this amazing creature of God
loving me
the pit falls were there but we
managed to maneuver over and or
around them
or so I thought
I never lost faith
his was a beautiful light
and I reveled in all those words
now he's gone from me
and from the flow of his latest thoughts
missing me little at all or naught
I see no shards of a heart still so hungry for me
aching for my presence
but one that has set itself on a new path
and flying high and free
I'm a big girl
I know how the game is played
I can take the subtle dismissal
I wish him all the best
I only want what I've always wanted
for him
his prosperity, security of his family and
most of all
his complete loved heart's happiness
and if he's found it in another
I don't have it in me to mar
his latest beautiful discovery
because I love him enough
to let him go if that is what
he wants
I don't have it in me to stand in his way
for I never wish to rob him of
but merely give him if I could
ground work for a life time's happiness
God doth know
deep in my wounded heart
even in of all days, Today
I wish him always
'All Things Love'
and from his latest words
I believe his heart has flown
happily, ecstatically into
the awaiting arms
of another
through my tears
I'll find the courage
somewhere deep down
to let him go
but for now God
I'll hold his beautiful memory
to my softly breaking heart
for just a little while longer.........

Author's Notes/Comments: 

my attempt to understand why such a beautiful love had to just up and fly away and flutter into the arms of another. I'm just a lowly woman, I guess I am not meant to understand.
