Jon ~ About "Happiness..." - I am like the one who wants to be happy for my lover in her happiness even though I know that I am not part of that happiness, at least 80 percent of the time - but there is that 20 percent when I am in a state of confusion, I won't say I am jealous or anything - but there is a 20 percent sadness that makes me think why am I not part of that happiness so that I could be content for the fact that her happiness and misery both are mine, 100 percent. Anyways, you got me thinking...thanks...

Jon, my friend ( may I call you that??) <BR>
I can only marvel at the maturity and depth to your poetry, and your latest," Happiness"..... what can I say??.......You have voiced what we have ALL felt at one time or another, why can't WE be the one to bring happiness to their lives?..why indeed,.......why shouldn't WE be the one who makes their life complete??......why aren't WE the one they desire??..... we sometimes confuse the 'WE' with 'ME' and think that ME are unique and the only possible love they could have....WRONG!!...It's only when we come to understand the TRUE nature of love, that to bring happiness to someone, sometimes HURTS, but over and above the pain rises the knowledge that we have LOVED them immensely, and there is always the bonus that they will know your sacrifice and think even more of you than before. I speak from experience here, the pain of letting someone go, to let them soar to the heights on love's wings, and was there to catch them when they fell again. That saying is so true you know, "If you love someone enough, let them go....if they return, they are yours, if not , they weren't yours to love in the first place"....You are nearly there Jon, you almost understand, and I believe one day you WILL be happy for them!!<BR>

Remember, the more you tighten your grip, the more love will slip through you fingers<BR>

Anyway...that quote of the more you tighten your grip, the more will slip through your fingers. It was really ringing bells in my head, then I realised, I'd heard Princess Leah (not sure if thats spelt right) say it in Star Wars when she was held captive on the Space Station "The more you tighten your grip Vader, the more star systems will slip through your fingers" Before he blasted Alderon out of the sky. Has old George been nicking stuff then?
