They say this loves not real. To fall like this an impossible dream. Because how can you love one you've never met Who's eyes you have yet to see. So I say to these doubters What is love? Isnt it two hearts touching hidden places in your mind? Isnt it two people sharing all their thoughts and hopes? Then what does it matter I've not seen your face? If you've been honest and true with me. Physical pleasure is a gift and a joy. But its not what captures the heart. Its sharing your thoughts your dreams Your hopes and your fears And where better than here to start? never say never |

I've always called it "getting to know someone from the inside out"......we can only hope that the person on the other end is HONEST and not painting a very different picture than what is really there....."trust but trust with caution" Great work Paula and I can relate all to well the hardest fall I ever took!! |

The sentiment is great. I hope the reality is as well. Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Wow.....Have you looked in on my life? I have a love right now. It started here in this internet place,not having met eye to eye for almost a year.But we knew,we were in love. We met, and it was true, a love born out of not seeing became the greatest love of all! We are now engaged! So I say the greatest love of all is the love deep inside!! Great insite!! |

Very well thought out, and obviously spoken from the heart. I liked it a lot. |
