Poem: Merry Christmas, Goodbye
October 28th, 2005
Many years ago, I was very much in love with someone. For
reasons I’ll probably never quite understand, it didn’t work out.
My heart was broken, and it felt like my life was over. Had it not
been for an appropriately-timed radio commercial, it might have
been. Writing this poem helped me to work through some of that
pain.
The good news is that today I’m married to an absolutely
wonderful, beautiful woman who treats me with more respect, love,
understanding, and consideration than I ever thought possible.
