you know who you are

You know very well who you are. You are the diamond in my eye...and that shouldn't surprise you. There was once a time when you could capture not, my heart. But, now I welcome it. Everyone goes through this, just the same. Consequently, we are not alone in this regard. I've probably loved you for a great time... ..however, this will speak to you as my journal. I know only of this feeling...therefore, I should share it with you. There's only once in anyone's life, that you are able to step back.....and realize.... ..that you are not the one that matters. I have felt this just but once, and that is now. We will forever be on different paths. "Lonely" will be this chapter...and "savor" will be the first page. For, this has taught me the meaning of "No"... ..not to mention the meaning of forever. For, forever is where my heart will remain... ..because forever, is the only place that I can be with you.

Liked the lines about naming chapters...interesting. Don't forget me --I won't remember anything else.

Favorite line:

"because forever, is the only place that I can be with you." I feel this way about my first husband, so I understand the line completely. but then, I believe in reincarnation... Lovely, but sad. Cat
