kdreger Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 AFTER A WHILE... After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. You learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security. You begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises. You begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child. You learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure... That you really are strong, And you really do have worth. Link to comment

michiganmale27 Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 That is definitely words to live by. Too bad I didn't read that about 3 months ago during my break up. Link to comment
bizmark Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 I wish giving myself flowers felt as nice as being given them. Link to comment
kdreger Posted July 14, 2003 Author Share Posted July 14, 2003 Agreed. If I had done my breakup differently I'd probably still be with her. A learning experience! Link to comment
Babes Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Wow that is powerful. The thing is trying to make yourself be strong enough to be able to do that. I dont know if I could do it. Link to comment
kittykat Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Thanks for the beautiful words. Just thought i could share with you a song. A song that really describes my feelings right now. its Roy Orbison - in dreams A candy colored clown they call the sandman tiptoes to my room everynight just to sprinkle star dust and to whisper "go to sleep, everything is alright" I close my eyes then i drift away into the magic night, i softly say a silent prayer like dreamers do then i fall asleep to dream my dreams of you in dreams i walk with you in dreams i talk to you in dreams you are mine all the time we're together in dreams, in dreams but just before the dawn i awake and find you gone i can't help it, i can't help it, if i cry i remember you said goodbye too bad it only seems it only happens in my dreams only in dreams in beautiful dreams I miss him....

crookster_man Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 If I could say one more thing to my Ex's it would be... "Don't hate me, Don't regret me, Don't ever forget me. Where ever you go, what ever you do. Don't you ever say I didn't love you..." Stroke 9 Link to comment
michiganmale27 Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 If I could say one thing to mine it would be this: Maybe your heart is aching I wouldn't know, now would I? Maybe your spirit's breaking up I shouldn't care, now should I? Maybe you're thinking of me Well I don´t know, now do I? If you only knew how I feel Wish I could die, now don´t I? I´m just another crazy guy Playing at love was another high Just another high Couldn't believe in my eyes You drifted into my life But marriages made in heaven Can they survive in this life? Surely it came as no surprise Love was too hot to handle Well I really blew my cool and you You just blew out the candle Didn't you just try just another high? Didn't you sign as you waved goodbye? Just another high I'm just another crazy guy Playing at love was another high Such a crazy high Lately it seems so empty here But I suppose I'm alright Maybe tomorrow's not so clear Still I remember that night Singing to you like this is My only way to reach you Though I´m too proud to say it Oh how I long too see you Shattered by dreams, by your goodbye As shattered my goodbye, as filled the sky Desolate am I Just another crazy guy Playing at love was another high Such a crazy high Maybe I should start anew And maybe I should find someone who Will maybe love me like I love you Maybe I´m too stuck on you Maybe I got stuck on you ~ Just Another High~ Roxy Music Link to comment
