Just A Past Encounter

hey i get it grace,


i wish my x wife would have a stroke right now.....

:) oh John...we do meet such people don't we. Sometimes we wonder what we saw in them in the first place.
Thanks for reading and commenting.

I completely understand this kind of feeling... methinks we've all been there, loved some people whom we built up in our hearts like angels, gods and goddesses only to find out later that they were not just all too human but more fallible, flawed, and failing than any human ought to be. Some of my exes were like that... I built them up, made them feel like they were on top of the world, but in the end things did not work out because it was all about them and never about me. And when I'd see them years later, I'd be like: "Well, how far you have fallen!" and I'd be happy and grateful that I was well away from their grasp at that point. Nothing is more beautiful than love... and nothing is more hideous than love wasted on the wrong person. Excellent writing, Grace! I have to say, you know the human heart well. :D

You are so on the spot there, dear Jessica. I know people who were in love with the most mean hearted people I know and I wonder about them.  When they break up the victim almost always say...what did I see in him...or her. Sad isn't it. Thanks for reading my dear friend.

these reminders we run into life show us "hey, your path was meant for better"
Excellent Write-to the trials of life and Heart!!!

Sometimes we learn something from them too, don't we, Soul. Sad though cos we undergo a period of sadness to learn that lesson. Thanks for your constant encouragement. :)

What he had was doomed to deterioration.  A pretty face, a glib way with women, but no soul.
You kept your integrity.  Now look at him.  And look at you.  All he has is his own stench.  You've got that "fragrance of freedom."  You should be proud.

Thank you Crowfly. You are right of course. The passage of time is not kind.:)

There are a few that I wish never noticed me..would have been easier.
this is a great piece, grace
well worded and concise with depth of emotion.

you got lucky avoiding him, I think.
unanswered prayers are often the best gifts

Hi Miki:)you are so right there. I have been told that sometimes breakups mean you are bound for something better. Its true in many ways . Although it could also mean more explosive breakups! Haha! Thanks for reading dear.

Sweet fragrance Grace :)

Thanks Hashman...kind observations as always.
