Just when I finally found myself,
I lost myself in you.
And then when I thought I'd lost you,
I found myself again,
heartbreaking in blue.
I went to the Lost and Found,
but no one recognized your name.
And when you suddenly
came back to me,
I lost myself again...
in you.
I like being lost,
when you are the one
who finds me.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Kacy, this feeling can indeed be so dizzy and roundabout in its logic, but I knw deep down through this tornado in the end the aftermath will be hopeful and much comfort and joy will come to our hearts! (smiles) This is a wonderful metaphor, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Ah Kacy, this is so sweet. It sure is a great feeling to be found huh? Lost? No…methinks someone has found the map of you.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

I know how this feels. I have been there too.

Nancy, glad you enjoyed this little love note. Love bugs are the only bugs I keep at home, the rest get evicted.

And when you suddenly
came back to me,
I lost myself again...
in you.
I like being lost,
when you are the one
who finds me.

Reminds me of that new roller coaster in Disneyland...the ERFKAD!!

Kacy,
So...am I the only one getting dizzy here? I thought the lost and found was closed. So are you guys together or not? Huh?

Its truly interesting how beginnings are found when an end seems lost .... or was that endings begin when losses are found .... no, maybe its lost ends are found beginnings ... now I am getting dizzy!!!!

You know I mean this as a compliment 'cause you know me right?  Email this to Blue Mountain - this should be on a card Kacy, really!  Great job.

There is nothing means more to me than
my faith, my family and my friends.

Big thanks and hugs to each of you, my wonderful friends. I'm only half awake, no java in my system yet, but I am delighted with your replies to this one, which at first had me running around in circles mentally until I relaxed and let it flow naturally. And yes, 'tis true, the midnitesun will soon be shining over the Rockies. I'm already dizzy, so the altitude shouldn't even be noticeable.
