Array ( [sid] => 18065 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Second Best [time] => 2003-05-27 01:05:00 [hometext] => Compared to perfection...second best is all you can hope for. [bodytext] => Warmth radiates from your sugary brown eyes
Your thoughts pure and true
A tilted smile upon your sweet lips
As you speak of the love you once knew

Merely grains of sand in the hourglass of life
Changed all that she was and could be
Your heart encased with thoughts of her
Your most cherished memories

You would have married her In the blink of an eye
Would have given her the world
She remains your one true love
Her heart made of legendary gold

I smile softly as you speak of her
As my heart cruelly twists
I hear the pain behind your words
I know your greatest wish...

To have her in your arms again
As she used to be
Loving you in her perfection
For all eternity

This reminds me of something my best friend was just telling me the other day. Sad story. Great poem though! Blessed be,

Well Colleen,

I do not know what to say!

If it wasn't for my now teary eyes not being brown this could've been written about me! She does have though!

Excellent!

With love
Dean:-)
