Thoughts

Thought I knew what I was getting into, 
though I knew it all
though if I was in your arms
then I would never fall.
But how i was wrong
as I fell apart
the very day your arms let go
I fell and broke my heart.
Thinking now wishing,
regretting the past
of everything that came first
I wish had come last.
One more tear,
two times regret
thought I knew
but people forget.

This is a very stirring and as always soul-felt write....and it makes the reader wish that if they could, that they could just pick "Your Priceless Heart" gently back up, and place it softly into "Your recious Hands!!!?":):)~And yes, life is a constant continuum of lessons....wherein sometimes, and many times, our hearts do forget....But as a writer once wrote~Smile~"Tis better to have lived and loved, than to have never loved at all"~Let me go view "Your" last latest post~"Love To You, John!"~
