"No" I stated With more sincerity Than my age allowed. "You need to." He firmly said, Frustrated and without heed To the scar he made. "Have you looked into my eyes lately?" I fought tears and leaned to the wall, For balance. "Have you seen my stride and wondering?" The room was too quiet, We awkwardly avoided looking at each other, And to fill the silence and stop the tears I said with my hearts beat: "Do you realize... how much it hurts... to move?" He walked away. Silent again, I stumbled for the bed And gasped for just one breath. I heard some fumbling in the other room. Hiding my head beneath the blankets I slowly cried and pretended To have fallen asleep. Getting up for just a moment I jotted down "I Love You" On an old receipt, And left it for him to find. Then, steady, As to cause the least pain, I crawled back under my blankets And drifted away. - And so it was that time stood still - (blink, breathe, stand, fight) [This message has been edited by GG (03-03-2003 08:42 AM).] |

I felt her pain in this, yet I am left wondering, is it love's pain or something else? If it is love's pain I love that the mere act of crawling under blankets hurt. Susan |

Susan, thanks for replying  and for reading and feeling this too. I love to leave people wondering..! but in reality ~she~ was crying because of mainly love's pain.. but also a twinge of the pain it takes to move.Thanks again Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |
