We watched each other grow up, Mary and I We were friends, well before we were more Though, I can’t recall the moment she morphed From all elbows and knees I do remember the outcome And slow-dancing And how what was once, angular and awkward Fit nicely into my hollows How we were stirred by proximity My hands, fanned across her backside Her, pressing tight against my thigh No one ever saw us dance, or knew of it It was always just Mary and me And I recall, ironically Now that it’s no longer true And wasn’t, even then, for Mary We danced to the Rolling Stones And “Time is on my side” |

Ed...I remember dancing that way, but I don't remember with who...I think there were one or two.  |

I know this kind of slow dancing.. I am so pleased to see you continue the story of Mary... and the memories you have of her. Hugs for this. Life is one great big canvas; |

I have missed your stories, Eddie. Time, I do believe, has always been on your side. Please never forget that. |

I always kid that irony is my mate and a dark Karma Goddess is my ever there companion... one can only hope there is a better place.  "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

it's in how its spent, short or long, that time matters. judging by the words of a man she spent time with, she did well for herself. |

You brought back a memory that I hope will linger until I get home tonight...while it won't be as good as your dance, it will be nice to reflect on it... and wonder at how it came out... |
