You, yourself, are still the right person. So is it really that tragic?
<3
I couldn't agree more, Nelson, there is little more tragic than the right person in the wrong place and time...
Alas. Star crossed lovers ARE tragic. Very well writ!
yep
what a sad poem. So well written.
yes
Oh Nelson. This might be my favorite of your poems. Indeed it is.
I love the fact that Xanga put your two Waldo images as "Related Posts".
Hey Nelson. I like the poem. How goes it?
@FatherFiguring - Good Mr. Winsome...how are you?
@Roadkill_Spatula - Me too.
@anvilsandedelweiss - Oh you, stop...
@godfatherofgreenbay - @plantinthewindow - Uh huh.
@awoolham - Sometimes understatement works wonders...thank you
@murisopsis - William Shakespeare possessed me.
@SandraErickson -
@Finity - Oh yeah you just keep convincing yourself that...
nugget o truth.
@Roadkill_Spatula - Oh man, you made me laugh so hard I had to go back to re read the poem... I love @SandraErickson - 's comment.
@seedsower - and I love you. MUAH.
The wrong people are the tragic lesson to learn by then move on with new information. Knowing this can lead you to your best self, which draws the right one in, but beyond my thoughts, I like this one in many ways. Howdy Nelson. Seems like a few months since I stopped by. I'm always glad I did. (leaves a rose, a smile, and a nod.)
Beautiful and true.
So true!
