Not Over Yet

Memories will prod me At the most random times Frequent as the days pass Invasive ivy vines I can’t seem to move you Past images in my head I feel that there’s so much We might have left unsaid A crevice that has opened A heart that loves alone Breaks then into pieces Return love hasn’t grown Hurting with indifference Yet my anger fleeting Reliving the good times In my thoughts retreating I should think of others And yet I can’t release The ember of meaning In thoughts that won’t cease And still I am finding That I just can’t let go Of the connection we had That I hoped would grow No fault to place on you For my expectation My mask of anger hides Disappointment ... rejection Often words unspoken Drift to the floor like dust Morphing into regrets If only I had just ... This beyond my control Nothing to do but wait Hoping I’ve affected you Giving it up to fate.

I so know this feeling, Judith. For me it was not a love affair or anything like that though, Just a dear cousin who rejected me in later life because he did not like the person I had become. (and I never changed at all!!!) It's so hurtful. this one really shows the hurt.

We can't help who we love even if they don't love in return. Still it is better to feel as it is our connection to our own humanity. When you one day find your true love this love will pale by comparison. This is well expressed angst.
