The Hopeless Romantic

[denver0102]

Feeling blah today....

"You Were Mine"

I Can't Find A Reason To Let Go
Even Though You've Found A New Love
And She's What Your Dreams Are Made Of
I Can Find A Reason To Hang On
What Went Wrong Can Be Forgiven
Without You, It Ain't Worth Livin' Alone

Sometimes I Wake Up Crying At Night
And Sometimes I Scream Out Your Name
What Right Does She Have To Take You Away
When For So Long, You Were Mine

I Took Out All The Pictures Of Our Wedding Day
It Was A Time Of Love And Laughter
Happy Ever After
But Even Those Old Pictures Have Begun To Fade
Please Tell Me She's Not Real
And That You're Really Coming Home To Stay

Sometimes I Wake Up Crying At Night
And Sometimes I Scream Out Your Name
What Right Does She Have To Take Your Heart Away
When For So Long, You Were Mine

I Can Give You Two Good Reasons
To Show You Love's Not Blind
He's Two And She's Four, And You Know They Adore You
So How Can I Tell Them You've Changed Your Mind

I Remember When You Were Mine

I'm sorry you're feeling melancholy today Denver. Take heart that things will get better. The relationship taught you alot of good lessons about others and yourself. You will be able to carry that wisdom with you into the future and it will hold you in good stead. You will find happiness again. You're a descendant of emperors! Chin up man! Please try to work through the grief and be patient. Brighter days are ahead of you.

Big hugs to you Denver!

Thanks Tampa XOXO

I Remember When You Were Mine

Denver,

Your poem was very moving and touching. Your words truly reflect your true sadness and pain. Its tough when you lose somebody from your life when you love them so much. Its easier said than done, but its a grieving process. It hurts, but you need to feel those emotions and complete that grieving process. From what I have read through your postings, you seem to be a great young man and I am sure you have many friends. From my own experience, spend time with your friends because it will help you realize you have people that care about you and want to help you. Please don't isolate yourself, it will make you feel worse. It may be hard, but please spend time with friends.

God bless you.

As an old romantic the song that gives me the most comfort in times of sadness is " song to the moon" the line that goes he to is watching you shining i like to think that the BF is watching.
When i was in Ibiza last week we where staying in the hills and there was no light polution so the moon was realy bright it was great.
There is also a song that i wish he had lived to hear and that is " love changes everything " he would have loved that song.
I have played it many times mosly for weddings and it is realy romantic.

I dont know if there are words to describe my feelings today. So here is a song that expresses them....

Sure I think about you now and then
But it's been a long long time
I've got a good life now I've moved on
So when you cross my mind

I try not to think about
What might have been
'Cause that was then
And we have taken different roads
We can't go back again
There's no use giving in
And there's no way to know
What might have been

We could sit and talk about this all night long
And wonder why we didn't last
Yes they might be the best days
We will ever know
But we'll have to leave them in the past

So try not to think about
What might have been
'Cause that was then
And we have taken different roads
We can't go back again
There's no use giving in
And there's no way to know
What might have been

That same old look in your eyes
It's a beautiful night
I'm so tempted to stay
But too much time has gone by
We should just say goodbye
And turn and walk away

And try not to think about
What might have been
'Cause that was then
And we have taken different roads
We can't go back again
There's no use giving in
And there's no way to know
What might have been

No we'll never know
What might have been

Denver,

You really do seem to be looking forward more and trying to move on.

You have a real talent of putting your feelings to words. Have you ever had any of your songs published or recorded?

Hang in their friend!

Denver; For you from all of us, your friends in the Forum

Long before I know what I really feel, a sudden song is born, reflecting hidden dreams, often well into the night. Pebbles in my shoe, sure to keep alive a certain sense of beauty, colors to be woven into the garment of life. Spring is coming, this Winter of pain will soon fade. Journeys through our minds will take us into gardens carefully tended thru the coldest times, preparing to awaken in splendid wonder, spreading joy from our hearts, to yours!

With Love,

 

[vicekid]

Denver,

I am glad to see that you are gaining strength. Your blue days will turn to sunny days and those sunny days will bring you joy. Your Broke Straight Boys Forum family will always be there for you.

Now go out and have a drink on me.

Live Long and Prosper,

Vicekid

My middle son is also a hopeless romantic. Each year he brings me a homemade Mother's Day card - it's a long story - this verse was from his sophomore year in high school. I feel almost like a Jewish mother when I say, "Oh, Denver, have I got a son for you!" rifle

Mama you made me take the garbage out last night
And I was so mad I pouted till supper
When you fixed my favorite bread pudding
And I got even by not telling you how good it was
But you didn't pout; you asked me if I wanted more.

Mama you came to hear my speech at Lion's Club today
And everyone applauded and told me how good it was
And you wanted to take me out to celebrate
But I said I had plans to meet my friends from school
So you gave me twenty dollars and hugged my neck instead.

Mama I was two hours late coming in on Saturday night
I saw you waiting up through the window as I pulled in
And I made a big excuse about running out of gas
But you were already gone when I came inside the house
So I turned out the light by your chair and tiptoed to bed.

Mama please know that each time you silently speak your love
The child in me is grateful for the punishment escaped
And takes the opportunity to skip away untouched
While the adult I am suffers the guilt of having once again
Allowed you to show your love while I have hidden mine.
