Today I can write no limerick ...

Today i can write no limerick,

as im running out of gimmick,

watching the rain,

and the empty lane,

standing weary and heartsick.

........

I love you like a river which understands 

that it must learn to flow differently 

over waterfalls and to rest in the shallows.

...

Not the love of a man for a woman, 

not the love of a father for a child, 

not the love of God for his creatures.

But a love with no name and no explanation.
Like a river that cannot explain 

why it follows a particular course, 

but simply flows onwards.

A love that asks for nothing 

and gives nothing in return; 

it is simply there. 

I will never be yours and you will never be mine; 

nevertheless, I can honestly say: I love you.

(Aleph - Paulo Coelho)

.. for what it's worth: i forgive you ..

it is harder to forgive myself
