The easiest thing
I have ever done
Is to fall in love
with you.
No instructions
had to be surveyed
No parts to affix
with glue.
Mail-in rebate
that takes so long
Was absent from
this deal.
The one and only
guarantee
Was the rapture
that I'd feel.
I didn't have to
practice poise
Or to worry about
my clothes.
For in your eyes
I was a lady fair
Perfect from
head to toes.
Yes, falling in love
was a simple task
Because of your
gallant heart.
And the sincerety
with which you
promised me
That we would
never part.

Beautiful Chris...
Seems your muse has awoken from her winter's nap.  
Knowing you and who this was written for
makes it all that more special...
Give that Harley guy a hug for me okay?
~Luv and miss you, Teed~


~ Trace my body with your words..
And in doing so, you touch my heart. ~

all the pieces...?

Flawless!

Chris, with that kind of loving sincerity in a relationship, you surely shall never part.

A fresh and very appealing read.

Enjoy your evening!

yes, there is always sincerity when promises are made .... when the hearts are full of love.
A gentle song of quiet awareness that you will never part.

(smiles) Oh Chris, this is gorgeous, sweet friend, this made me smile as finding a soft place to fall is the most beautiful way to fall in love! (kiss on cheek) I dream so much for this to happen for me too, sweet friend, this is majestic, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Chris, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

It's easy to fall in love. But it's hard to fall out of love. Thanks for this.
