We can be friends,
But we are no longer lovers.
That’s because
I love myself the most.
I don’t want to feel bad
When I get off the phone.
I won’t condone
Self-made misery.
I am refusing to participate
In the illusion of suffering.
I was betting on our potential.
You didn’t meet me on my level,
And I won’t go down to yours.

I believe hard to go from lovers to friend. In my lifetime dear Brigid. Lovers could never become friends. Maybe we know too much, and we cannot forget the need. A tricky situation.

Thank you, dear John, it’s been possible for me in the past but only with those who are willing. The ball is in his court now.

I have always been a Gypsy till the children were born. Being a soldier, moving around every two-three year. Hard to become friends, maybe? You are welcome, dear Brigid.

Yes, I’ve moved a lot in my time too. I think the longest I have lived somewhere is two years. It does make it hard to stay friends, but phones are a blessing for that.

In my young days. No cell phones. I wish I had. I saw 40 countries. I would have a million photos.

What you saw is saved in the sands of time. I’m going to post later today more about leaving things behind, I had a break-up today and am looking forward to your thoughts on it.

It took a couple of days, but this is some of the processing that I did.
