It's not the loss, it's the memory

It's not the loss, it's the memory,

It's not the tears, oh it's the dreams,

It's not desperation of  missing them, 

I guess it's all about the mess I'm in.

It's not the emptiness I'm living with,

The days, months, years, stretch out

and so do I.
In my heart I hold something so lovely,

It's not the loss, it's the memory.

It's not the babies growing up in pain,

Cause momma passed; no one's to blame.

It's the full heart that's beating to reality,

It's not the loss, it's the memory.

It's not the ring lying in the drawer,

Just the thought there could be so much more,

so come on down the road with me.

It's not the loss, it's the memory.

in honor of the memories, in hope for the future 
for a very dear friend ...

Love Letter No 103 - Storybook Love

 

Dear S,

Soon we will publish, the storybook love 

that we share. Hard times, we've 

had enough for two well beyond our 

years. We've cried an ocean of tears.

It isn't about the loss, it is the 

sweetness of the memory. It is not about

the tears, it's the dreams that

are ahead. The suns that we've seen set

have been hidden in the dark of night and now

the color of the sunrise is brighter than ever.

The arms that have been aching for embrace, 

the ears that hope to hear a tender call,

the lips that yearn for a loving whisper,

satisfaction is rising within us.

It's not about letting go,

it's reaching out and grabbing hold

of one another.

With warm and tender affection,
LarryG

Love Letter No 102 - Prayer Love

Dear S,
An attitude within, prayer breathed love. We share moments of prayer, O bliss of divine favor. When praying, the answer is sometimes 'Yes', but not always, for there is also 'No' and 'Later'. And these latter two hard to discern. Yet, the 'Yes' we share melts me at my core. 

Ah sweet prayer, did it summon you? did it call me to you? Was there an intervention that brought this about. Perhaps, but prayer and love intermingle in such a lovely way. It is not for me to question. The pleasure of moments together, embraced by the universe, redefines the satisfaction my heart feels. Prayer strengthens the foundation of what we share; prayer multiplies unity's fruit. 
Prayer, my love, makes everything different and makes all the difference.

With warm and tender affection,
LarryG

Love Letter No 101 - Often Love

 Dear F,

Two deep deep crushes that have 

met and moved along together to a better place. 

A place of winsome mutual respect. 

I guess I've told you everything.

Now I will start repeating myself. 

Sweet things I longingly

 share with you, things that 

must be continually repeated.

"You're beautiful"

"I love you"

"That's a sweet smile."

"You amaze me profoundly."

Shared sincere interest is a lovely 

feeling. We do the neatest stuff, 

enjoying our time with undivided attention, 

always happy to see each other. Thank you 

so very much for giving from your heart, 

yes, I feel the love, it's great! And we have 

humor, a ton of that great medicine 

called laughter.

I know I love you, 

you deserve to hear it, 

often.

With warm and tender affection,
LarryG

Love Letter No 100 - Arrival Love

Dear Y,

Since your arrival

everything has changed;

some things that were fixed are

now broken, some that were

broken are now fixed.

When I see your message
make its arrival 

an inexplicable connection

takes place.

Arrival does that good work

in me again and again,

and so we share life.

With warm and tender affection,
LarryG

Love Letter No 99 - Supporting Love

Dear F,

Support is the brain's reminisce,

the soul's stir, the body's preoccupation;

blessing is a heartbeat away.

Support is a verb tense of love,

an adjective of undying devotion.

With warm and tender affection,
LarryG
