You are conspicuously absent from the dynamic <br /> conversation, that we have been having - - - <br /> <br /> That tells me one of two things: <br /> <br /> (1) You have finally figured out what a 'jack - ass ' that I really am .. <br /> <br /> OR <br /> <br /> (2) Things are not going as well as they seemed the other day ! <br /> <br /> <br /> ... And I am hoping that you have me figured out ! <br /> <br /> <br /> Because, otherwise that means that you are going towards <br /> major sadness, <br /> ... and although I have never seen your smile, <br /> I am going to feel your breaking heart, somehow! <br /> <br /> You will put that in your sentencing for a while yet to come, <br /> If that were only me, I wouldn't care, ... <br /> but, I suspect that there will be more than that, <br /> and even more than that ..., <br /> - - - until your pain's undone... <br /> a little bit! - - - perhaps! <br /> <br /> I believe that you'll outgrow it, <br /> but that doesn't help right now! - - - <br /> ... Anger is a step along the path, <br /> that you will travel for a while ! <br /> <br /> Your sweetness will return someday, <br /> but, when it does... <br /> will anyone be there to enjoy it with you? <br /> <br /> Your'e an independent woman, <br /> sometimes a little dependence on someone else, <br /> ... is not really a bad thing!<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/conspicuously-absent/
