Can I get sappy for a minute with y'all?

The love of my life is a parrothead, he is the one that introduced me to Buffet... taught me to believe in boomerang love. It's been hard enough living and working in Music City the past few months with 5 O'clock all over the charts, he's been on my mind more than usual.

With the CMA's tonight and an event I'm attending tomorrow that I expect Jimmy to be at....(yes, I'll come back and post details) I'm about going out of my mind.

The only contact info I have on him is a home phone number, I can't get my hands on work info or an email address to save my life. As he's married and his wife knows who I am, I don't want to cause trouble - and I can't blame her, I wouldn't want my hubby to hear from an old flame either.

I'd give anything to just be able to send him a note to let him know I still think of him, and there's a Big blue hole in the middle of my heart. I know by the end of tomorrow I'm going to be ready to burst.

*sigh*
sappy time over.

hmmmm - that's a dilemma! Sorry to hear of your pain. I hope things work out for the best over the next couple days. I can lend you a shoulder if you want to take me with you tomorrow! Whatever you do, make sure you tell Jimmy that BN sends our love!

Have phun, and please share whatever details you can with the class!

Word of caution, I have been having the same feelings, mine are a bit more protracted however. In the spring of 1980 this girl walked into the bar I ran and stole my heart. She never felt the same way and thought me to serious (she was much younger) Something happened in 1982 and she hasn't responded to anything from me since.

A month ago, I wrote to her after 20 years of not hearing from her. Typed a ten page letter, not asking for anything but to be acknowledged as having been a part of her life. Told her about my keets, my wife and my job(s) and all my travels and travails over twenty years time. 37 days later, not one word in response. Hurts like it did 20 yers ago.

Maybe somethings are just better left alone. Be careful and know there are lots of us pulling for you

I've been there, hell, we all have. The sad fact is that he's probably out of your life now and forever. If it helps, I'm sure he still thinks about you. I know that from time to time my mind wanders to thoughts of my past girlfriends (one in particular), but I have to live in the now, and you do too. The woman I'm with now is amazing. I hope I can spend the rest of my life with her. I've known her for years, and the only reason I was fortunate enough to start a relationship with her, is because I let go of the past. The man you still think about now has moved on. He has a life in Jacksonville, and you have yours in Nashville. Your life will be infinitely easier if you put the past behind you. You don't need the complication, and neither does he. I think if you look around you'll be pleasantly surprised at what might be just around the corner for you. I wish you happiness, peace, and love. They will all find you in time (and it helps if you stop looking).

wow I do know how you feel I've had loves lost also I think of the non JB
songs that help me think of going on and leaving the past where it is
ate both by Garth Brooks the first is "Unanswered Prayers" the message
to me is that everything is for a reason and even if you hurt now
there is a path forward now. the next song is just a cry in your beer
song that I wipe a tear away whenever it plays and that one is "Whats She Doing Now?"
A few years ago After my divorce I met a very nice girl and we hit it off
in many ways and I know I was in love and I hope she was too
but things happen that I neither could or would change ( It involved HER
ex-husband) and she moved to the Heartland to get away from both of us
I have never heard from her since and often hope that she has found
someone else and is happy where she is.
good luck and keep your chin up

WOW.........hugs to all of you........great advice too!

Thanks y'all....

You are right of course..... have to live in the present, not the past. But every now and then it just overcomes me.

Thanks for letting me get sappy.
J.

No charge..... any time you need to talk, were here for ya. All of us or PM one at a time

Well I found him, finally. Living his happily ever after in St. Augustine with a wife and two children.

I got some questions answered, and was able to tell him a few things. Time to move on.

Thanks y'all for being here. I visited a lot of JB sites looking for him over the years, and this is by far the coolest.

Gettin' off this boomerang love, comin' up for air
Do what's right, do what's fair

I'm glad your issue is resolved. Not knowing what
possibilities exist can cosume a lot of otherwise
contructive energy.

Now that you know what you know, come visit us
in JAX and have fun anyway. Maybe you'll end up
in a F2F with the guy and see that he's not what
you remembered after all.

Couldn't be happier for you Brown Eyes....As to my situation, the ten page letter will go officially not responded to, two months tomorrow (mailed 10/9).

All I wanted was to say Hi and tell her about me, my kids and adventures along the way and maybe find out a little about her. I certainly wasn't looking to start sumpin. Not so much as a f*ck-off and that really hurt.

Like I said, I'm happy for you

You know she got the letter? Maybe her feelings are too strong to respond ya know? Could be to think about it would screw up what she has right now.

I had a few brushes in my life before I met my wife now. She is the ONLY one that gives me that "spark".

"How's The World Treating You?"

This "one particular" song has gone through my head over and over...while reading this thread.

Check it out. It is nominated for a grammy. A great country tune.

Listen to and watch James Taylor and Alison Krauss at:
