The sweetest of love stories...the saddest of goodbyes...
My fantastic but short relationship with John has come to an end. It is extremely bitter sweet. The love was strong, true, passionate, sensitive, loving, kind, gently and oh so sweet. And to be honest, it still is. The love is not gone for me, not sure it ever will be. The relationship ended because our lives were moving in different directions. As he says..."Our paths crossed but did not parallel". It was a good ending, as good as an ending can possibly be. I miss him very much and feel very sad. I am not yet at a point where I can go a day without some tears. I know at some point I will be, just not yet. We are both very grateful for the wonderful time we had together and feel we are better people because of it. I know that is definitely true for me, I am a better woman because of this love I got to be part of. He taught me how to love again, how to be open and willing to give and receive true love. He is an amazing man and I am so thankful I got to spend 4 months of my life with him. Thank you John for loving me like no man ever has.

i love this poem....
The Tide
"The tide recedes, but leaves behind
bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down,
but gentle warmth
still lingers on the land.
The music stops, yet echoes on
in sweet, soulful refrains.
For every joy that passes,
something beautiful remains."
