 Free Music loving you was so exquisite in those early days it felt like dying from passion to gaze upon your face your lips which quivered when you smiled those dark brown eyes sometimes almost dark like chocolate to look at you thusly could send me into the stratosphere and your simple touch could bring me back to solid earth you touched me where none had before stood strong when standing strong was needed all for me sacrificed your desire many times for mine when I found myself walking through the minefield of insecurity you were my rock always there smiling, standing strong for me you said much the same about me we leaned on one another all those years if you were disappointed with your life and me you never let it show until the ravages of hell descended upon you even then when I looked into those eyes I saw Dottie of old not the ravaged one going through hell the pain you suffered was relatively short I am grateful for that I think of those last days daily can't help it couldn't help it then but mostly I think of those wonderful, wonderful good times great times fantastic times we had getting to where we were next month will be two years since you left just want you to know my love is still strong ~ Life is sexually transmitted ~ |

Oh, we remember it all, but one side of it always works out more positive than the bad times. Thank you, Martie. ~ Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. ~ |
