Always something there to remind me
You know how when you are going through a break-up and it seems everything reminds you of that person? I just logged on to DU and there were three posts that reminded me of her, each one giving me a stabbing pain in my heart; one about the poisoning in Russia (she's from Russia), one about the dog whisperer (she watches that show) and one about that remorseful dog (i sent her that picture when i was trying to apologize, but she didn't respond).

So I'm going to need you all to stop posting things. :(

1. I feel for you and have been there.
Still there more frequently than I'd like.:hug:

Hang in sweetie...it will get better eventually.

2. It's the little things
Edited on Fri Dec-01-06 09:05 PM by Xipe Totec
Just when one thinks
that time and absence
has killed them.
We find their train
purchased
a round trip ticket.

It's those little things
left behind from days of roses
in a corner
a piece of paper
or a box.

Like thieves
they hide and watch us
from behind a door.
They have us
at their mercy
like dead leaves.

Dragged by the wind hither and yon,
as they smile at us, sadly, and
they make us
cry when
no one can see.

- Juan Manuel Serrat



Uno se cree
que las mató
el tiempo y la ausencia.
Pero su tren
vendió boleto
de ida y vuelta.

Son aquellas pequeñas cosas,
que nos dejó un tiempo de rosas
en un rincón,
en un papel
o en un cajón.

Como un ladrón
te acechan detrás
de la puerta.
Te tienen tan
a su merced
como hojas muertas

que el viento arrastra allá o aquí,
que te sonríen tristes y
nos hacen que
lloremos cuando
nadie nos ve.

4. I think we've all been where you are. The only thing that will help you is time.
And if my best wishes and offer to listen and talk via PM or phone will help, you have them too.

7. ...and all the songs on AM radio suddenly make sense...
I don't remember who said that, but it was a long time ago. In a movie, maybe.

I'm so sorry you're hurting. :hug:
