Who are we? We are the sum of the influence we have, the love, and the arrogance we display on others. As your date of birth approaches, my love deepens, taunting thoughts are racing against time, wallowing in the why-how could it be. I realized 15 Years ago, we chose to walk the same path. As one thought settles in my heart, I grumble on a million other thoughts. “Lifequake.” My right person, wrong time? The questions flip as thoughts race against time. Has our journey fulfilled its purpose? The silence coming from you, I choose to love you in that silence because in your silence, I find no rejection. When I open up, it's not because I’m mad or trying to put you down, it’s because I FEEL REJECTED You're not alone as a wife; I chose to love you. Mothers love because you’re their child. Siblings love because you’re their brother. I love you because I chose you! But that doesn't entitle me to have you. (L.E. Bowman) – Poem Once wrote – And I quote I guess it isn’t fair to blame you. I kept pouring myself into your palms even as I watched all that I was leak through your fingers LOUD ---NO--- I said But Still You let go before I knew we were falling. Knowingly, I was still holding on to a future you had already decided to step away from. Now, I’m searching for words and direction as I wander lost in the dark with only the dim glow of my lost heart.
