We were married
for one day
I, your husband
you, my wife.
Do you remember?
I remember it with great fondness and caring
for you,
you who had once been heaven sent to me.
We were torn apart
amid a great family upheaval
before we could even celebrate
or actually be.
Through this sadness
the grace and compassion you showed then
have become
the very best parts of me.
One day.
Still cherished
for a lifetime.
Every now and then I still find
your compassion and grace
lingering
somewhere
deep
inside of me.
dedicated, with appreciation, to HeavenScent4U
Author notes
Sort Explanation: An AP relationship may be virtual, but the heart is blind, and it feels it just the same.
Long Explanation: There are three things in a relationship, the heart, the mind, and the body. Here on AP, when two people share their hearts and minds, it is just as real whether the body is present or not. Further, with the body out of the way and not being a distraction, the hearts and minds can go even deeper, which brings that much more joy or pain! I did not know this and had developed too many deep relationships, which caused a literal nervous breakdown! May you all realize your peril here!

I'm glad you've seen this piece, HeavenScent, for it shows our 'day' was special after all! Sorry for the nervous breakdown, but I did not know then what I know now about the heart and mind in a virtual relationship, my new daughter-in-law!

Ok, Ms. Reenie, I will explain it to Lucy! Now Lucy, you see, there are three things in a relationship, the heart, the mind, and the body. Here on AP, when two people share their hearts and minds, it is just as real whether the body is present or not. Further, with the body out of the way and not being a distraction, the hearts and minds can go even deeper, which brings that much more joy or pain! Now do you understand, Lucy? Unfortunately, it is not common knowledge, and people jump into a virtual relationship thinking it is all just fun and pretend, at the peril of their hearts and minds!
So, thank you for asking, Lucy, you got the answer out of me that I was looking for to put in my author's comments! An applause for you! -
Wanye, thank you so much for this poem
It has truly touched my heart that you considered and took the time to write it for me. Yes, we had our day in the sun, that was enough for me 
My hope for you is that all your other relationships work out and for those that don't, may they part in friendship like we did. Hope all is well in your corner of the world. Be Well and Be Blessed And again, thanks Sweetie. The background is equally and wonderful as your words here.

My dear friend windworder, there are more children and step children in this relationship than you can imagine
Be Well and Be Blessed my friend

Touching write indeed as this once again shows just how big your heart truly is ♥
Sometimes people's passing is but short and fleeting and touch us all the same they do
What a lovely tribute this was
and may your heart find other relations just as touching that endure

A virtual relationship gone awry, now this is original, glad there wer no children involved. Hehehe Interesting style

An AP relationship may be virtual, but the heart is blind, and it feels it just the same.
I am not really sure if you understand that.

I thought that this was a beautiful write, with lots of honest and wonderful emotion in it. I appreciated the fact that this had a hint of sadness in it, because it seemed to make this poem develop a whole new depth. Best wishes to you.

This was intense and quite sad. I'm not sure what happened but this shows pain and tender feelings. -
honestly... I don't know what to say. I'll search for some words... The write is great and powerful. And that all I could find. lol I'm such a loser. But keep writing my friend and let noone drag ya down.

Sorry to hear it was over before it even got started, in time another will come along and fill your empty spot just you wait and see .

Awww. This is cute. I like it a lot, it is emotional. And the heart is blind. Hope all iswell. ♥

I'm sprry there is so much tugging on your heart going on Wayne. People have a way of leaving footprints on our hearts and you are right... memories do linger. They say that a life watered by the tears of heartache, tragedy and suffering often becomes the most fertile soil for growth. I see this in you and in your life right now. Stay safe and be well Sweetie!

Well, thank you, Dy! This is about an AP marriage of mine that lasted only one day, and we were torn apart! and though it was virtual, the heart is blind, and it hurts just the same as if it were real...
