I'll Often Stop and Think About Them
Author: Raine    Date: 09/11/2013 13:14:59

I miss them. I miss those glorious towers. I miss seeing the sun shine in between them. I miss seeing them glitter at night over a downtown neighborhood that closed after dark. I miss using them to guide me thru the streets of the city. It didn't matter where I was or what time of day it was, I could look up and be guided by it.

I miss the days I worked in NYC and came up out of Penn Station and saw the Twin Towers. Now that I think about it, I miss the days we called them the Twin Towers. To this day, my heart leaps when I see them in a movie or TV show. I no longer look at them with sadness. but with gratitude of having the experience of seeing them. They were a part of my life. It took a long time, and I am not closed off to the sadness of that day, but I am at a place where I just miss those towers.

I don't have much more to say. Once again, as it did a few years ago, this song comes to mind.



There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more
