I had the craziest dream last night
not sure if it was a full moon
or if all the stars were aligned
but all my past boyfriends were in my room
even some of the crazy ones I met online

My first thought was to scream and yell
I was like great they are here to haunt me
They said it was not like that at all
Only here to say hello and wish me well

Wish me well I thought, what kind of **** is this?
Am I going to die tonight or something?
No need to think of this as a negative visit
and anyways please remember
it was not us who did most of the dumping...

They then told me this:
*We all have a new life now
and it is time we all get on with it
it is okay to think of the past from time to time
but live for the present and future
your current friends and family
is what should be on your mind
Hands of a new mother gently washing baby's little parts
A little hand clasps around her thumb and touches moms heart
An unconditional love that continues to grow at first glance
Brings new meaning to life makes you want to take a chance

Hands of a Lovers first melting touch
Not being able to breathe when it gets to be too much
Butterflies in the stomach and throwing all caution to the wind
Two innocent souls lost in the present and trying not to sin

Hands of a fighter who helped liberate our lands
Bringing countries together and starting a contraband
Hands of the men who were young and oh so brave
Friends and comrades who lost their lives and wound up in a grave

Hands of a writer, a painter, or jack of all trades
Blue collar living but these hands still need to get paid
Calloused strong hands and a hard working class
Got obligations and bills to try and outlast

Hands of a beautiful woman on her day wearing white
Ring on her finger from the love of her life
Hands that promise to love and cherish through all the years
Comfort those worries and help face all your fears

Hands weathered and touched by father time
No longer seeing your lovers hand...your partner in crime
True love that has gone to a much better place
But the hands remain tied and forever laced

she finished off the last letter

and folded it into four before

tearing it to pieces and throwing

it to the floor, with the other

pieces of her heart.
