So, obviously, it can mean many things to many people. How you interpret it based solely on your point of reference. And the point of reference of the person saying it.

"You" kind easily find your point of reference. If you can't, we need to talk.

How is it possible....

..that I love you as much as I do.

I am well pleased

Words have been spoken, exchanged and ...not rejected.

Ideas have been conveyed, explained and ...not rejected.

Plans to be made ...and not rejected

I hope.
I wish.
I dream.

She is...........

I don't understand

Why can't I talk to you the way I write to you?

Why can't you talk to me the way you write to me?

I have so much to say and I just can't.

Do you have things to say?

Is all of this just a game????

Moments In Time

I was sitting in the backyard tonight, contemplating a "conversation" that has been going on for quite awhile now between 2 people, when I saw this. Call me a jerk, call me a romantic, call me whatever you want, but seeing this made things feel right. Well, at least in my little world, anyway.

This particular conversation, unless we have both been kidding ourselves, has reached a precipice that either has to be explored or abandoned...There is no other route to take. The sharing of emotions and feelings, the stories, all of the things not yet said, but, I feel, totally understood by both, needs to be explored to the absolute limit. But, and there always seems to a "but", due to the overall circumstances, it can't be my decision.

If it were my call, I would take this new found relationship to the stars, if possible. And maybe beyond.

But it's not.

I must wait. Words I want to hear.

There needs to be time to think this through.

My time is up and my answer is yes.

I have been remiss..

... in acknowledging this.
