To hold you one last time...

[Rianna]

It's so sad how we don't think about getting to hold someone one more time until it's too late. We don't think about how much we love someone, or how important that person is to us, until they are no longer here.

We take things for granted too often in our lives. Our spouse will always be with us. Our children are always there. Friends, parents, siblings? Of course we love them all. But how often do we tell them? How often do we lose someone and think, "I wish I had told them how much I care"?

I wish I could hold my sanity one last time. It seems so long ago that I had it last, so long ago that I was able to wrap my fingers around it, slowly choking the life from it. I destroyed it. My own hands took its last breath. And now I can never get it back. I never realized how important it was to me.

Have you ever wished so much you could have that one moment back? That one moment you let slip through your fingers. Time and truth destroy so much more than anything else. Time and truth are destroyers of happiness, and of sanity, and of life.

But we never get it back. We can never take back the truth. It's always there once its been released. And time? Once here, it is then gone forever. No more options to live the lie.

I'd love to hold the lies one last time. To pretend in a love that never was. To hold the hand of a child now gone, just one last time. To love once more that which time and truth destroyed. To grip the thin strand of sanity long gone. I'd give anything to hold you one last time.

Sir Markus, my favorite knight (by the way, what is wrong with your iThingy?) - thank you, and as I've always insisted, it isn't bravery. It's weakness that brings me to write what I write.

Doville - I absolutely love your point of view, and in your deep thinking. Truth, to me, is what lies within. Unfortunately, to others, that truth is a lie within me.

Blind - at a loss for words? That alone makes me speechless. And I like the two kinds of people. It's similar to something I tell people..."There are two kinds of people. Those who know I'm right, and those who refuse to admit they know I'm right."

I hate to say this - but I'm at a loss for words. I really liked this piece and I think that there are two kinds of people in the world...Those who agree with it and those who deny that they agree with it.

You have passion and you're actually holding on to your sanity better than most people I know because you can see inside. I feel you, so many precious or would-be precious moments lost because we can never reverse time! But think about this- the truth is not based on the ever changing world perceived by our senses but in what comes from within us and develop into our reality; time can never change this.
A quote from one of my favorites, since I study psychology: "Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." - Carl Jung

[Sir Markus Cross]

You always put your soul on paper and seemingly invite the world to have a look. I've always admired that about you greatly. You're far braver than I.
