you keep your love wrapped up tight, like those tiny trinkets stored so carefully, out of sight, in that little blue box labeled MINE I, on the other hand, spread it freely without constraint, the same way I do my peanut butter and jelly you save each morsel of your heart, hoping love will somehow grow without any additional investment I prefer to spend freely, believing the vaults shall overflow no matter how much I give, or receive we don't approach love or banking with the same mindset or strategy reminds me of our chess games check mate but no one ever wins [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (07-06-2003 01:28 PM).] |

No one ever wins indeed (forgive me, I'm a tad bitter tonight...) Beautifully written, now I understand my own strategy of love a little bit better. Thank you  |

Great write!! Everyone expresses their feelings in a different way sometimes making it hard for others to understand exactly what they are expressing! ~*Hugs*~ ~*Summer*~ |

Thanks for the replies. This was just a rehash of the past. I don't have a check mate partner these days, but lots of memoirs that fuel the muse.  sorry to hear 'bout the check scene, Reb [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (07-07-2003 12:07 AM).] |
