As Quiet As Its Kept Part Two

I bragged about it. I even cried about it. Then I thought about what you said. If I had to choose

between the two. It would certainly have been you. So now how do you tell a heart that has neverlearned the difference between what could have been and what should be. There is only one way tofind out what true love really means.

I ask myself every time I grace your presence. Why cant I stop thinking about if he notices me? Is itmore than a friendly hello? Did what I say seem out of place? I hear bells, chimes, and everything.

What could this really mean?

Now its through his loving smile. He says, "I am glad to see you again". You would have thought hepromised me the moon and the stars. When all he did was speak. I cant take it! He smells good! Heis ruling my scenes. Is this It.? Is this love? I dont know. He is sounding so convincing. He is reallysmiling. I am not thinking. Shakespeare Shakespeare is all I seem to hear. I get it! But now some

twenty years past. "To be or not to be that is the question".

He quickly replaces glad to see you, with how are you! Do I tell him or just act none interested. As ifhe really didn't matter. When we were inseparable some twenty years apart. Let me pull myselftogether and shake his senses from my heart. I greet him with such a bellish grander. Hello! I amdoing good and yourself. Not even waiting for an answer. I glanced at his hands only to find hisgolden commitment. Now, that should do it! No more thinking about what should have been or whatcould be. But ooh my, those eyes! And he has them locked on me. I cant move. I cant leave. Thesame eyes. The same ones that once softly loved me. He has once again captivated me.

Now we find ourselves in a moment of silence full of memories. I ask myself again. Is this real love orwhat does it all mean? He somehow reaches within himself to ask the question. What happenedbetween...? We were quickly interrupted from the voice coming from across the store aisles. "Dear, I

found the T-shirts that you like!" The look that once belonged to me faded away without a trace. Heintroduced her to me and me to her. I quickly said hello. She was too busy sizing the shirts andmothering his moves to notice the jealousy that had arose. Now I thought I should be feelinghappiness, but all I could think about was my stupid pride. What broke us up in the first place? Her,me, some silly word fight. His wife who Hurley whisked away to find the right size. Turns around tosay. "It was nice to meet you"! He watches her as she walks away. With a look of love and admiration.He is quickly reminded of his forever I do. He says without hesitation, I am a happy man. She makesme happy. He continued with I remember the love I have for you. As we parted. I could only beassured Love could never be replaced only embraced to flourish and to grow. Now Love is To Be! Itsnot just you. It really was me!
