Maybe In Time

holding back the tears

reading an old love letter

it made me smile then

perhaps i should wait longer

they say that "time heals all wounds"...

Sharon, I've thought of you often this last year. That said it's not helping much when your life is so drastically changed as yours and mine has.Put it away for another day. I hope you have a peaceful Christmas Day with family and friends. XX Hugs Anne

I wish I had some of those? When my ex was courting me he used to leave love notes in books I was reading, I think he was the only man who ever wrote me love letters, and I should have kept hose little notes [sigh] where are YOU? Come back! Happy Thanksgiving Light & Love

Yes my dear, time really does, although it may seem it is your lot for the rest of your life...may be so...but the edge does go blunt eventually. Hush, I feel your pain. One love. Joy Wells

It does but sadly we are left with scars that become a lesson in love. My 2 cents. Hugs Michael
