I do love you. Let me speak the words now to celebrate the time when they become unnecessary, A time when I am so close to you there is no fraction of distance between us. In that time we will breathe a single breath, our hearts will beat with a single rhythym. It will be as if I stepped inside your skin, and you stepped inside of mine. I won't have to say "I love you" - you'll know before I've even finished the thought. And I will feel you answer with your softest caress, your most tender kiss. But for now, let me speak the words - let me send them flying across the cities and beaches that lie between us. I do love you. ------------------ "We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion.....the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?" --John Keating, Dead Poets Society |

Beki...you spoke my mind with this piece...it is absolutely beautiful....thanks for sharing ------------------ Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints in our heart and we are never ever the same. Thank you all for leaving footprints!! |
