love

So near and yet so far away

Stella Holman - The ConnectorInt 3 Comments

Sometimes life plays a bittersweet tune, reminding us that some things we desire are just out of reach. It’s moments like these that pull at the strings of our hearts, leaving us with a profound sense of longing and nostalgia.

Have you ever experienced that feeling? The sensation of being so close to something or someone, yet unable to bridge the gap that separates you? It’s as if the universe conspires to keep us apart, teasing us with the possibility of what could have been.

There are countless instances where we find ourselves yearning for a connection that remains elusive. Perhaps it’s a missed opportunity for love, a friendship that faded away, or a dream that never came to fruition. Whatever the case may be, the ache in our hearts can be overwhelming.

But amidst the sadness, there is a certain beauty in this sentiment. It reminds us of the depth of our emotions and the significance of the connections we form. It teaches us to cherish those fleeting moments of closeness, even if they are overshadowed by the distance that separates us.

Sometimes, the very act of longing can fuel our determination and inspire us to strive for what we desire most. It fuels our creativity, drives us to take risks, and encourages us to push beyond our comfort zones. It reminds us that life is a delicate dance between what we have and what we yearn for.

So, if you find yourself caught in the midst of this sentimental journey, take solace in knowing that you are not alone. Embrace the emotions that come with longing, for they are a testament to the depth of your heart. And remember, sometimes the most beautiful connections are forged in the spaces between “so near” and “so far away.” 🌌✨

Should old acquaintances be forgotten and never brought to mind?

Friendship

Should old acquaintances be forgotten,

And never brought to mind?

Should old acquaintances be forgotten,

And days of long ago!

We two have run about the hillsides

And pulled the daisies fine,

But we have wandered many a weary foot

For times gone by.

We two have paddled (waded) in the stream

From noon until dinner time,

But seas between us broad have roared

Since times gone by.

And there is a hand, my trusty friend,

And give us a hand of yours,

And we will take a goodwill drink of ale

For times gone by!

And surely you will pay for your pint,

And surely I will pay for mine!

And we will take a cup of kindness yet

For times gone by!

For times gone by, my dear

For times gone by,

We will take a cup of kindness yet

For times gone by.
