A few weeks ago, Dona sent this poem to me. Ironically, she sent this to me on the same day I had been talking to a friend about some problems she was confronting after a long time relationship she has recently ended. My friend expressed the same hope as Dona's poem. - poetheart 05/11/02
I shall not easily get over you
Or the clouds that rise above me
Can't avoid these pain-filled memories
Or forget how you don't love me
I won't be able to stop the ache
I just hope I can get past it
How long does "getting-over" take?
I hope I can outlast it
by Dona Lou Pearson
