-
- I found the begging and pleading doesn't work. Methinks tho, you
- have to do it once to learn. And it is hard, you wonder how you will
- ever live without her/him.
-
- > even calling her about 4 weeks ago (like a dummy), I was wondering
-
- Like a dummy yes, but you ain't you in this state. You will do that for
- a while... but you *will* get over it...
-
- > if you ever get over feeling lonely or missing that special
- > someone to share life with?
-
- YES. I can state conclusively that you will. It mat take a bit longer
- 2 months and 10 days, but you *will*.
-
- I don't try to forget. You can't stop loving someone you have loved so
- much, you will always have a place in your heart for them. Remember
- the good times, try not to dwell on them...
-
- I like to listen to soppy songs... Relive memories...
-
- stuff like...
-
- "and number three is never say her name..." Flame Trees, Cold Chisel
-
- "and call you when your man is out of town..."
- and
- "but many years have passed and with them the right I ever had to
- Feel this way" Comic Conversations, John Farnam...
-
- and kid myself with stuff like...
-
- "I don't wan't to lose you now...
- Were gonna get through somehow..." Gloria Estefaan
-
- but the bottom line is...
-
- "there is no-one to blame
- it's just not the same
- and its never gonna be the same again..."
-
- You have to convince yourself...
-
- "You know it's over and you've got to say good-bye"
-
- and
-
- "pray for the strength just to carry on...
- you've got to let go, of someone you've loved so long..."
-
- Tough, I know (believe me, I *know*)
-
- Still, methinks...
-
- "It's such a shame when lovers become strangers...
- such a shame when you don't love each other anymore..."
-
- (All those last quotes: "It's such a shame", Cher)
-
- but, as the late, great, Ned Kelly said (on an entirely
- different subject)...
-
- "Such is life"
-
- OTher important thing is not to lock yourself away feeling sorry
- for yourself never meeting people or enjoying life - that *will*
- make it take longer.
-
- You will need to do that sometimes, reminisce, cry yourself to
- sleep (it works for me) and so on. But you *must* live your life,
- hard as it is.
-
- And before you quite know it... someone else *will* pop into your
- life (I *can* vouch for that too (Hi Kezzle!)) or, to quote Cher
- again...
-
- "When love calls your name
- there is no saying no
- you follow your heart
- wherever it goes..."
- (When love calls your name, Cher)
-
- Good luck my friend, and take heart. It *does* get better. That
- I *promise* you...
