Broken If it is true that Sticks and stones May break your bones But names will never Hurt you, Then why am I encased In this invisible body cast Simply because you tenderly Called me by her name Instead of mine? |

So is this guy a Casanova or did he just make an honest mistake as we all do at sometime? James |

Dear Ten.Angel and JamesMich., It hurt back then.....and I guess there are times when memories can serve up pain along with pleasure. This too shall pass. Thanks. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Gee Chris...this is a sad write. I do hope this happened some time ago. I guess I should feel fortunate when I hear the words yelled loud and clear in the night..."Abracadabra, Sim Sala Bim!!"  Love ya, 'Teed'.~I've loved you forever, in lifetimes before.~ |
