You would think that doing this again would be easier - but I beg to differ. I truly am looking for friendship - more than a little burned-out on the other. I am an intelligent, warm-hearted woman who enjoys people and feels that everyone needs kindness and honesty. I love stimulating conversation on all topics, have three dogs and am family oriented - my youngest is a junior at OSU. I am well traveled, well read and love dancing and music. I write poetry and love the fall. I am very spiritual and value my personal serenity.
There is a tiny ember of hope left that true love exists in more than the movies- however now feel that this is maybe not to be. I find that love comes easy - trust not so much.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.
- Captain Corelli's Mandolin6. "Love is the beauty of the soul."

Remnant of Love
Someone starts to sing a song
And it makes me think of you.
Just a sad and simple melody
That you and I once knew.

And as I hear the words again
Sadness fills my heart.
The words have much more meaning now
Because we are apart.

I try to see your face again
And think of things you said.
But all I can remember
Is this song inside my head,

My memory is fading now.
It's sad, but oh so true.
For all that is left of you and I
Is the song that we once knew.
ZEE

Never make someone a priority, when to them you are just an option....
True love is not finding the perfect person, but loving the imperfect person perfectly.

First dates - wow - had two in the last year - i really have to think about that one - the dating scene has really changed - and I am sure I don't get the rules now. I have a hard time with looking at first meetings as a job interview - so the simpler the better.
