I am sure your own heart's capacity to embrace simply increases when you are ready to absorb more. Thank you for connecting the photo so strongly to the words. I definitely had emptiness in mind when I attached the two.<BR/><BR/>In many ways consummation only serves to prove what we already know. Maybe I was a "doubting Thomas" so needed to put my hand into the wound before I could believe?<BR/><BR/>Your later reconnection must have been so difficult. I chose to sever all ties in the same way as I cut loose from alcoholism overnight. Gray areas are so hard to feel comfortable in. Thank you for your wise owl advice, I have interests which I can turn to in times of difficulty to avoid the angry silence.Perfect Virgohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17842802482293784692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9757991.post-1143221546710643792006-03-24T13:32:00.000-04:002006-03-24T13:32:00.000-04:00SilvermOOn - I have not met anyone else who has re...SilvermOOn - I have not met anyone else who has related so completely to this experience. There is little I can add, you must know all about it. Walking away from someone you are deeply in love with is emotionally crippling.<BR/><BR/>You are so right about "the wondering." Life goes on and people settle for other people but there is a nagging question mark hanging over everything.<BR/><BR/>I will listen alone to your audio post but must say thank you for the preview by way of the edited verses you have posted here. The brutal pain in your words is all too familiar. The sheer honesty is what I like most, these are thoughts we both have about someone who is not our spouse. Blogs make great confessionals.<BR/><BR/>"...like crypt-not tonight" is such a clever play on words. I am looking forward to hearing the real deal. I think you are brave to state boldly that "this time I might have chosen to change the course of my life." That is courage and I salute your strength.Perfect Virgohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17842802482293784692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9757991.post-1120293289959380062005-07-02T05:34:00.000-03:002005-07-02T05:34:00.000-03:00DG - thanks for reading this one again.

This affair crippled me at the time and I have never fully recovered emotionally. I chose to return to wife and children, followed my head not my heart.<BR/><BR/>It was 19 years ago but feels like yesterday. I know which town she lives in but that's all. She may think about me, I guess an intense episode like ours would be hard to forget.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing some of your story too. I can tell you know about the deepest emotions. But you keep the lid on things and press on with everyday life because what is the alternative?<BR/><BR/>Somehow life seems very unfulfilled, you put it so well when you said we are effectively prisoners in our own hearts and minds. I feel like I am serving a life sentence - my wife probably does too but it's nobody's fault. Living with supressed feelings is tough. I see you and me both know about that DG...Perfect Virgohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17842802482293784692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9757991.post-1120259886486991062005-07-01T20:18:00.000-03:002005-07-01T20:18:00.000-03:00I dont know what made me come back here and read t...I dont know what made me come back here and read this perfect. It jumped out at me all over again.<BR/><BR/>She thinks of you as often as you think of her. Somehow I think that she still sees you.<BR/><BR/>Both very much restless, how could you ever be content again knowing that true love lies waiting at night. It plagues both of you forever. I know it does me.<BR/><BR/>There is only one for each of us I do believe, until I am proven wrong, I will always believe that we are destined to the prison in our hearts and minds.<BR/><BR/>He had green eyes too perfect. I have seen him only once since then. We had planned to meet again, and when we did, we had no choice but to walk away. The pain we would face far outweighed the pain we had been through.<BR/><BR/>We smiled, turned walked away and never showed each other those tears.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9757991.post-1111262713093300882005-03-19T16:05:00.000-04:002005-03-19T16:05:00.000-04:00PV: yup.

It's Mayflower Park overlooking the Nedlloyd container ships as they slide in!<BR/><BR/>A 1999 band called "Lowgold" (now sadly collapsed) used that wonderful phrase on their promo tee-shirts.
