How long do I hold on?
How long do I hold on to a love that was never really
returned, at least not the way I wanted it.
Who am I kidding?
I was married.
I am married.
Would I have left home and family and crossed an ocean for
the beauty I fell in love with 15 years ago?
It's been 10 years since, well, 10 years since I got a
picture, 10 years since we played.
10 years since we really talked.
I have a few of her pictures still in my archive, waiting to
be discovered by some angry divorce attorney who will use them against me, but I
have a hard time hitting the delete button and letting go of a part of my life
that was so wonderful.
It was always wonderful, unless it wasn't, it was sexy and
fun and I fell in love with her,
I fell in love with her art, her talent, her laugh, the way
she looked at me when she played with me.
10 years of missing her.
How long do I hold on?
