Once upon a time ago

Once upon a time ago. 

Once upon a time ago two very lonely

souls had met by chance then fell pretty

much in love with each other the first time

that they laid eyes on each other then one

thing led to another and we kissed lightning

flashed and the thunder crashed and we

saw fireworks in each other’s eyes, believe

it or not that was you and I, thinking back

now it seems so long ago, anyway what

started out as two lonely people from

different times and places found something

in the other that they both had needed and

neither wanted to let the other go, it was

happy and smiles everywhere they would

go holding hands and kissing while making

love with both of them wishing that this

feeling would never come to an end, so they

got married way to soon. He was older

and having a lot of fun but could never

quite understand what the younger generation

was all about but he tried man did I try the

best he could but she was younger in a

different world that was free to do whatever

with whoever whenever they can believing

there was a difference between having sex

and making love, that telling little white lies

was okay, and more, as time went on the

problems were getting bigger than either

would ever say causing issue to arise that

neither one could hide away causing a rift

between them that grew so big that even

still today will never end. Unlike their so called

relationship that should No, needs to come

to an end for good, I know that we did not

start out to hurt each other it really was

very much love. We just came from two

different ways of thinking neither of us is to

blame it is just the way it was and still is

today. I am sorry for not knowing better or

understanding the huge difference that

was between us in the beginning maybe I

should have either way I do now and I know

that we never belonged together in the first

place, but I will always be flattered that you

even looked my way, I believe that time had

poisoned what we had causing us to become

very toxic, causing irreversible damage to

who we were creating this disaster we call

today, so we need to both salvage what is

left of our messed up lives. We have a chance

right now to find happiness with someone else

I hope. It is time that we separate before we

destroy each other any further then we already

have not just for us but our families, friends, and especially Ryder.
