'when Things Fall Apart'

If it faded with time
Why do I see your face so clearly 
If our love has evaporated 
Why do I feel the connection stronger than ever
Did you know that fear has the ability to make you shy away from the one thing you are suppose to pursue 

If this is you walking away 
Please take your memories with you 
Please take the scent of your cologne as well 
Please take all the gentle reminders of us with as well 

I don't want to be reminded of what we had
I want to remember that I lived before you entered my life

I also want to stand tall knowing that love does not break you when it ends 
It makes you remember that even if things fall apart 
You can still stand up,  put one foot in front of the other and still continue to live

Those are important words and they resonate with me. Been there and got the T-shirt. And found myself in the process as well as new love. Kind wishes, Kai

Very well written, Wilma. A voice of experience? I really never got the "ill will" thing, when a relationship comes to an end. You can't make someone feel what they don't feel, especially your hurt. We know one thing for certain, change is happening perpetually, that includes feelings. Wonderful to read you again:)
