This brought tears to my eyes, mostly because I felt so much of it. I absolutely adore this prose. It’s so beautiful.

Also, I am in love with your blog. Consider me hooked.

I want t o do this, it’s such a lovely idea…but I’m too emotional right now and I’m not sure what it would do to me!

* “SHE” left me the longest goodbye.
because it took 4ever for her to completely leave.

* before I could leave her.
* with very little understanding.
* endless thoughts of her.
* wanting more.

Btw, I absolutely, freakin loved this piece.
I’m a new fan.

what a great post!

He left me…
…with a pain I thought would never end.
…the first photo he ever took as a child.
…beautiful letters that I finally had the courage to burn.
…feeling like I had wasted over 8 of the best years of my life.
…in serious debt from city living with him.
…a less trusting person.
…at the perfect time for me to meet the man who really IS the one.

He left me with me.

and a renewed love for myself that was badly lacking when he was here.

In my case, I left him…
after months of pretending I didn’t know about her.
asking, “why now?”
standing underneath a lightening-streaked sky.
yesterday.

Beautifully written.

The only man who ever left me that mattered: he left me with no money, no security, a desire to belong to someone, somewhere. He left me his first wedding band, a bunch of sad memories, a too-short childhood. He left me with the feeling that all men leave, eventually.

My father, of course.
