everything was perfect our give and take was magnificent to the nth it was like having wild strawberries and cream for breakfast there was sunlight everywhere we were we were we were . . . us after awhile it seemed we were unsure of things I tried too hard made stupid mistakes made more stupid mistakes trying to undo the original ones it got to where we argued a lot mostly about my stupid mistakes some were hers but most of them were mine then we would find ourselves again having wild strawberries and cream for breakfast and there was sunlight everywhere we were for awhile hints of unhappy endings began to creep into our conversations suddenly dark was upon us we lit candles trying for sunlight everywhere we were the candles began to grow dim they were trying to go out and I with a box full of matches was attempting to keep them lit as was she ©February 27, 2015 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

When you notice that you're trying, you're trying too hard. A pity. But this describes the situation very well. Well done. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Yes, I do know that now, Nan. But sometimes you are in a situation where, although you know in your heart you need to pull up, let things rest, but something tells you no! You must try to explain the unexplainable. Ergo, you have deepened the hole of mistrust. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |
