when I answered...
when I answered the phone
I knew the voice belonged to you
but we were never allowed to speak
so I never heard you say my name
when I answered the door
I really wanted you to be standing there
and you were but not how I expected
your face came wrapped in a crumpled envelope
when I answered to an invitation
to visit your favourite bar
I wanted to find out all about you
and I did, from stories from your friends
when I answered to an email from your mum
I really wanted you to be in the car
when they drove down that day
and you were, carried in their hearts and tears
so why hadn`t I asked all these questions before
when I could hear your laughter
see your smile, feel your hugs?
well maybe there are some that should never be asked....
now your face is on the blue page
with the white flowers surrounding your smile
I can hear you sometimes you know
when I laugh and when I think too much
I hear whisperings that we share that trait.....

Nicely said, remembered and reflected ...
The vision of hindsight?
... usually 20/20 ...

Yes...sadly we tell people too late how we feel don`t we? And take so much for granted...this experience made me realise that important people need to be told of their importance...because sometimes you can`t tell them to their face...carpe diem...
thanks for the reminder.

I am sorry that I made you cry.... I cried when I wrote it and I cry every time I read it...there is a bit more to this one, but I felt the writing a little too raw and this says enough to get the message across I think... but they are good tears so I hope that they were for you too. Sometimes things like this...even tears won`t cleanse in time...but they need to be shed to clear a heavy heart now and again don`t they? At least I hope to have lightened your heart a little of its load?

I cried because it reminded me of some things in my own life and also because I could feel your emotions through your words. Tears aren't a bad thing, your words moved me to such a level and that is precious. And yes, tears are cleansing...
Hugs to you too,

Much strength to you, I can`t find the words to say what I feel so I leave you with warm hugs and a silent appreciation of understanding.

I have no words to express what I'm feeling, reading this.
...can only send my thoughts and real emotion via virtual hugs....
