Shatter a Heart

Every day a letter came, I love you, I love you, I love you so. One day a letter came, Forgive me, I have to go. The reason? I still don’t know.

Lovely words to express emotions that too with a satire. Nice Poem. Thanks and thanks for your appreciation of my poem Come O Rain come. Hope you would enjoy The Boatman's Song. Best wishes and love Ravindra

Oh! Dear, Isn't life so very hard sometimes and of course you must remember that women (they say) are very fickle. You have captured the scene for us in a nutshell. God speed for 2010. p.s. thank you for nice comment on "a feed of chips"

Lots of times luv hurts beyond written words.. I have had my share.. comparing both human luv and Divine luv.. God always wins David.. human luv will let u down many times... its always good for a time.. then it goes downhill.. but God's love never ends..its unconditional.. He only asks we luv Him in return.. its in the Bible.. and that is how I know plus my own personal experiences... we'll talk more if u want via Soup Mail.. His Love is an awesome thing... its free too... HNY 2010 .. luv..

so sad, we all have gotten that dear john letter, but I never got the forgive me part. they were just gone. with no explaination. Guys are that way not too verbal I find. Guess I like the strong silent type.
