Feelings

Silence stretched between them Moments where spoken words Once said could not be taken back Awkward in ways to find an apology For when once said cannot be unsaid it sometimes is better to not express feelings that will hurt but to keep those thoughts inside.

So very true, Phyllis. It is best to bite our tongue, rather than say something which might cause trouble or misunderstanding. Hugs // paul

Hello Phyllis … oh yes, just one small sentence can change two worlds. Step back, count to ten, and think again - thanks Phyllis - Lindsay
