When I Talk To You

On the island of Oahu and in the city of Waikiki
I've discovered a Special place that I enjoy immensely.
It's here that I enjoy sitting on the edge of the warm salty sea
feeling those tradewinds as they gently blow the fronds of the majestic palm trees.
And while the rolling waves are rhythmically splashing onto the sandy shore
that's when I begin to think of someone special..a woman that I adore.

I believe she was always here in Waikiki and yet I never noticed her before
til one day I was casually admiring some paintings in an art studio in Waikiki
and she talked to me and we talked more and more.
We talked about the regular things like art and travel
and about friends and hopes and dreams
about biblical truths and the fate of O.J.Simpson and the failures of Monica Lewinsky.

And yet as I listened to her I felt a stirring inside me..an awakening..
and I realized that her conversation was enjoyable
and more desirable than much fine gold to me.
I found her conversation stimulating
and her personality was fascinating
and suddenly I could not resist telling her how fabulous she was looking.
Charla...I'll always remember how warm and happy my heart
feels when I talk to you.

Bill actually not Love just admiration..she is a manager in an art studio in Waikiki...I loved talking to her but we didn't hit it off as well as I would like...but it was fun trying.  I still see her occasionally when I visit the Art Studio.
Paula I was glad to freshen your memories.  And don't forget that warm water...when I get in I never want to get out...James

Marina honest I don't have any women...but I am trying...lots of close calls.
My woman would admire me and appreciate me and she would love to spend time with me...
I believe a few women admire me...and some appreciate me...but rarely do we spend time together...I feel like that guy in the movie "Loser" his girl was crazy about a guy that wasn't really compatable and didn't appreciate her unique personality and it took the loser almost the whole movie to get noticed...yeah thats what I want...to get noticed...sorry I go on and on...don't even know if you'll read this...desperate for attention..ha..ha..James

You are NO loser Sir.  I only wish I had someone who could express himself and have the love you have, to give.

Hugs,
Marina

Oh James ... this was just lovely!  Your admiration for this person just shines through your words.

Now ... on to your response above.  (stern voice here) No way, No how are you a loser my friend!  I've read your words ... your heart is strong and genuine James.  She's out there, and she's still looking for "you" too!  Smile gentle soul, you will find her!  

Best wishes,
/Kit
