SAUDADE* – LOVE NEVER AGES

*Saudade (Portuguese): The feeling of longing for someone that you love and is lost.
Also described as a “vague and constant desire for something that does not and probably cannot exist.”

Decades of inexorable, irresistible force tugging at unyielding heart.

Times have changed, circumstances are different, thoughts aren’t.

Sometimes you say a lot more when you say far less. I wrote about words the other day – when I described words as being pregnant.Walk with that imagery for a moment:-)
