Relationships

Onemargaret
Sure, lovers come and lovers go.

But, true love doesn't just go with the flow.

Giving totally to someone is probably our greatest fear.

But, if and when you do, it can be an experience, so far; so near.

Being with someone who just doesn't care,

Is like being with someone just for a dare.

And, when it's finally over and you go your separate ways,

You ask yourself, "Was it really worth it, wasting all those days?"

And, just how would someone like me know?

Well, let's see, I've been divorced long enough to know that he's remarried to Mrs. so and so.
