Array ( [sid] => 12849 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Flowers On The Hill [time] => 2003-02-18 02:00:00 [hometext] => Opportunities don't last forever. Don't let them pass you by. [bodytext] => I saw the flowers on the hill, blowing to and fro,
While memories of you came back and dreams I used to know.
I wanted life with you to be a fantasy embraced,
Instead I stand here all alone, my destiny erased.

In silence life has passed me by, I never let you know,
My feelings hidden by my pride has brought me to this woe.
I could have had it all with you, sweet love to call my own,
If for but the briefest moment, my feelings would’ve shown.

But now your name is carved in stone, no sunlight on your face,
And of all the people left behind, it seems I’ve lost my place.
If only I could change the past, keeps running through my mind,
I’d give you all the love I had and show you how you shined.

If you’ve ever felt this way when someone passed you by,
And every time you think of them, your heart lets out a cry,
Then take this moment in your life to tell them that you care,
Or else one day you may find out that they’re no longer there.

Oh geez...I think you may have just put enough fear in me to force me to say how I feel, lol...funny, I just submitted a poem I wrote about not being able to put my feelings into words! Thanks for the gentle push, I needed it. :)

You are so good at reaching right into someone and turning their emotions into a tornado. I love this...I have been in this situation a time or two. And it is so important to always let people know how you feel about them.
