Poetry
Old love

An old photograph
Of a love once lost
Once he worshipped her
Now he grins and shrugs
No hard feelings lass
Nor any regret
Just another girl

Good piece, makes me want to go through some old photo's that I put out of sight a while back, because looking at them back the pain was too raw!!

Thanks :)  
A smart thing to put them out of sight. When my GF and I broke up, I threw away anything she had ever given me (except for the things which were worth some money... Hey, one should stay pragmatic :p
Now I only have one picture of her left.

Old photographs. The older you get, the more special they become. No regrets? You can't be that well balanced. :grin  
 
Phil.

I too threw away everything after a big break up once, and have since regretted it. But it made me feel better at the time.

Thanks Phil and Jean. 
 
Phil: Why have regrets about something you cannot change? If you're not going to see someone again ever, it's no use to waste time and energy on old hurts. 
Jean: Can't say I miss the photographs that much, but I wouldn't be bothered very much if I still had them either.
But Fledermaus

There really are more fish in the sea. There are lots of lovely women out there looking for YOU. Think positively. Now everyone in the world will realize that you could be looking because you are on the world wide web making your announcement. Look out!

Thanks Josie. Exactly: A lot more fish. The girl in question was perfect though, but that perfctness was probably the main problem, as I am not...
