My message in a bottle...


Dear _______,

There comes a time in ones life when you realize that you've found it. The one true love that points me home. The one woman that knows me inside and out and can read every subtle move and knows exactly what it means. I have made so many mistakes in life which is very hard for me to admit. Physical is so much more than a state of mind, it is an essence to life. Living. When I awoke in the morning, my first thoughts were of you. Every day was so much better because you were in it. Every breath meant more to me. Fighting to live, fighting to survive. As each day passed I looked forward to watching it end knowing that you would be next to me at night. Knowing that my dreams would intermingle with yours because we were always on the same page. Reading the same book. The story of us. When the sunset each night, it was so much more beautiful because you were there. It meant more. Alas there are no more sunsets. I think it is hard to let go of a love like that. I think it is impossible to ever find it again, but it is out there. Right? I sleep with an empty heart, a mind racing with thoughts of what could have been. To all the stars in the sky named after a lost love I feel for you. To all the people who have had a chance to taste this love I envy you. There is only one book in my<b> library </font></b>that calls to me. One story, one fairy tale. There are so many things I wish I could take back, there are so many more things I wish I had the courage to say. Boldness is not just a way of life, it is an art. Love is forbidden to those who take it for granted, and this I have learned. You have to earn it. You have to cherish it. You have to believe in it. My dear, you taught me this. Go after it when you see it. Find it, search it out. Be stubborn and relentless in that search, don't ever give up because it is out there, right?
All I know is this... I am a better man because I tasted this love. I am a better lover because I experienced knowing that I was loved this way and in return I loved this way back. Take what you want when you want it and let the unlucky ones sort out the rest. Live life to the fullest because it is so short. So, so short. So I follow my heart, I listen to my own words and thoughts and I am alone. Alone. There is but one thing I wish for now…
I hope that anyone who reads this gets a chance to feel what I felt and hold onto it. It really only does come around once…
Right?

That is one "strong" message in a bottle there ~Poet~ WOW......I think anything in life that was such a strong impact on one is hard to let go of.....Yet when the impact is received from another person the hurt is real and the pain cuts deep but still it is hard to let go.......In order to move on, forward in ones life, one has to work on letting go of what no longer is.....Though it isn't easy to do that it must be done......The worst thing someone can do is not go forward with their life......Living in the past is not living at all, it is only existing through what was.....I believe it is at there, i believe if one keeps their eyes open they can and will find it, but when, no one knows......If one keeps a closed mind to life than life passes you by......That is a sad thing......Like you said, life is so so short and it is......We don't know when our time is up so i say, keep those eyes open wide, look and see what is out there what is around you, what just might be in front of ones eyes......We ALL say things we wish we could take back and we ALL wish we would have said certain things but that's ok, its just another part of life......Its a lesson to ourselves, and if we learn from what we did or didn't do well then that too makes us a better person.....NEVER give up on anything in your life, cause if we do we might as well lay down and die.....Everything in life we experience teaches us something, makes us stronger and wiser, but at times it just doesn't seem like that, until time has healed us......No, I don't believe it only comes once in a life time, I believe it can be experienced again with the right one.......

Keep yourself open to it all, and NEVER EVER close that door!

Big hugs to you my friend,

Sweetness...
