Will You

Some will,
some won't,
some do,
some don't.

Will you
give me
hope?

If she doesn't know of all the others ... she might give you some hope!
Smiling here.
Love, Margherita

Ah, if only more men would ask the same questions instead of assuming. Great write, James!

I have only my genius to declare!

"love is like a butterfly--
if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

Thank you Margherita, Marge, Moni, indedgoddess and Aimster for the nice responses...
Margherita those others are friends...and I am not married, engaged, or steady, although I might be in the near future, something is in the works.
I got the idea for this after reading a passage in the book "Love" by Stendhal.
Incidentally, a man that had been very frustrated by the pursuit of love.
"From time immemorial there have been four different degrees of love:
The first consists in the giving of hope.
The second in the offering of a kiss.
The third in the enjoyment of the most intimate embraces.
The fourth in the granting of the whole person."
James
