L O N G I N G

how many times
did i try to key
a note
a text
of
hello
how are you
hope you're fine...


but the minute
my fingers
set on..
Words won't come
Sadness and longing sinks in
And all I can type is
I MISS YOU!

    Sometimes it's hard to get beyond those few little words.

    From one born in the Phillipines, to another- those are my feelings I feel for loved ones I haven't seen since 1982. Sometimes the words "I MISS YOU" sums it all up, love, longing and dreaming.
    Many Blessings~

    ParengJJ,
    The feeling is felt and faced by many.It is something natural where emotions take over. We can only sympathize.

    Too often all I bring to the keyboard is anger, and all I want to type is one four-letter-word over and over again. Your version of writer's block is much nicer than mine. Thanks for visiting Poet,my Magpie this week.

    Oh, sad. I think "I miss you" says it all, though.

    It's funny, as I read this, I think guiltily of people I haven't written to...but I could instead think fondly of those who haven't written me.

    This is so sad. Yesterday I found out a longtime friend of mine had died, and I hadn't been in touch with him for so long, I didn't even know he was sick.
    And yesterday I got an e-mail from another friend, saying, "I miss you" — I will be sure to visit her the next time I'm at the west coast.

    Dear JJ: Yes, when "Words won't come"
    and "my fingers set on"
    really intrigue me because I wrote the word "set" too. We're on the same wavelength baby! Are we getting too familiar? I think not because "I MISS YOU" too!
    Lovely! :) jj Chiccoreal

    I can say that we've all been there. In some way or another :)

    Nothing gets the message across better than those few words...
