Love Answers

Am I ok to be dull, Is it fine to be without YOU AND STILL SHINE.? Will I be a joyful memory in your mind. I asked: TRUE LOVE SAYS IT'S okay to be happy apart from me. Never replace my joyous gift with grief. In the spaces or gaps. Your light should fill- in, removing,sadness, with a "well lived life". He expressed: Be happy ,with me- or apart from me; Love wouldn't have it ANY-OTHER WAY. He reiterated: What's Understood; needs no explanation He said: What kind of man would I be, IF I REJOICED IN YOUR MISSING ME. KNOWING,that I may never return. He spoke again: You have taught me that happiness and all of it's glory will never die. And sadness lingers on for ever. Said I: Away from you by death or by distance. Will still leave me responsible for your smile. From the brightness of your smile; Everyone will be aware, that it be I who put it there- Even after years have passed You with your new love, Alas ! It would be me that left you "Glowing" He reported: All the records will be set straight and show, That I was the man "who brought out the best in you- made joy in the depths of you". He chanted: I then realized my joy could never subcomb to sadness again; Neither to death- nor poverty - not time- nor distance. So I will rejoice when you come, I'll live off the memories your endless joy has brung. So until you come again, I will smile and illuminate the days so brightly. So bright... that even the next man will praise your ways and ask me to share the secret of your magic I shall live in memories of happy days; In the cheerful thoughts of men. Final # episode of love
