Tears of pain, tears of joy

  1. I must be losing my mind. I dream of seeing him, holding him, touching him, kissing him. I must be going crazy. WHY would I be thinking of him after all these years. It must be the bad marriage that I am in. I am just looking back for something familiar and better with almost a "grass is greener" attitude. I am really losing it. Could I REALLY have loved him THAT much. Harumph! Could any man be THAT lovable and am I even capable of loving him that much? My heart aches. My breast heaves with sighs of unrequited love. This is crazy; NO ONE loves anyone like this. This MUST be some infatuation. Two husbands and I am still thinking of HIM. What makes him SO special? Could it be that I really DID, I mean, I really still DO love him? If I love him SO much, surely HE must love me too! After all these years, has he been pining for me as I have for him? It would have to be a "dream come true" to believe this and I would have to be willing to DREAM that dream. But am I willing NOT to have him for the rest of my life? That is the question that if facing me; life or death. If "it" is not him; then there is NO man; If he "is it" then I have to know if I am loved by him as much as I love him. I spent years wondering. The time had come to find out if we REALLY had love and STILL do or is what I remember just a dream that never was?

    thanks Kontrast; this is "pieces parts" of the "autobiographical love story" that I am writing. This is how I felt for years. Just hope I can find the words to bring my life TO life for others.

    Wonder about that. I know a lot of women claimed to have sought old relationships very much, but for those who actually got a chance to realize that (sometimes at the expense of existing relationships) they found that over time they had been elaborating and dramatizing those things they remembered from the past and the relationship fails...but harder.

    Still, I liked this piece. Your going to smooth out the flow to a more euphonic tone, I think, but in a way it emphasizes the desperation and gaining intensity of her feelings. It feels like a hair away from doing something very abrupt and impulsive. I'm not a fan of the genre, but reading this much, I would have wanted to read further to find out what happened to this buildup.
