Empty heart of circumstance wallflower at the dance trying to avoid each glance and stop my toe from tapping... Turned away, left unappraised, a teardrop stain on journal's page. Closed the book, my entry made: "He never asked me..." |

RJ---I don't believe I've greeted you properly...Welcome to passions, and thank you for your kindness. I'm trying to catch up on my reading now... LS--thank you again for the much-needed smile. Marge--I've missed you! Thanks and hugs. Sea---thank you much. I enjoy your work also. Victoria--y'know, I seldom went to dances and this is why...was total terror for me. Believe it or not, I was painfully shy. Thanks for reading! |
