I thought I knew what love was Until you touched my hand I thought I knew what it meant to commit Until you said my name When you came into my life I was lonely and so confused Hurting and mistrustful betrayed by broken promises You too were in pain not looking for more than a friend We listened, we talked, we shared our dreams And somewhere in the night our hearts decided And now I know. To my love [This message has been edited by Paula Finn (edited 08-25-2000).] |

Paula, This is so very pretty. I touched her hand so many years ago and knew. That hand is still here to touch today and each time I do, I still have that same feeling. Thanks for the nice read, my friend. Michael |

Paula..... This is very beautiful, as I knew it would be when I started to read! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Lovely Paula! Amazing how we sometimes don't realize "love is there" until a magical moment of sparks awaken us through a touch, a glance or a word. Very nicely penned! Best wishes, /Kit |

You too were in pain not looking for more than a friend We listened, we talked, we shared our dreams And somewhere in the night our hearts decided And now I know. **************** Wow Paula!
