Crazy, you know,
that one can love so uncontrollably.

. . . as  did I.

With a fire that sucked the breath
from my heart,
stole my soul,
lay it bare . . . for her.

With a love that filled the years
since day one,
sped them up till they passed like the wind,
slowing only to give us the nights
when the fire burned long
and bright.

Uncontrollably taking our breath away.

Crazy.

Uncontrollably.

. . . still there,

Tonight.

Jwesley,

Yeah, this is allright.  It's well written, and has a great ending.

I like it loads.

Wonderful write Jimmy!!!
Much enjoyed.

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.

Jimmy, it is so nice to read you again...

I think, those of us who have had the blessed opportunity to know and feel this type of love, regardless if it is returned, are the lucky ones, yanno
