'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 ©215003042018

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:)

I don't see why not...You expressed your heart...Can't say for sure...it'll be as you say... but many wish it that way...All the best Wilma...
