this is from two points of view a man and a women meeting on the street...the man begins... Well look at you. It seems you’re looking fine How have you been? It’s been such a long long time Yes it has. And yes, I’m doing fine It’s been three years. But who’s counting time? There you go again. Always twisting in the knife. You never knew, how to just let things lie. What did I say? You never hear things right. What I meant is seeing you again is nice. Oh, I see. I guess I should apologize. Its just you know…how it ended on that night. No I don’t. You just left without a goodbye. And I still don’t understand the reason why. Well I thought you wanted it to end. That was the message that you sent. No, it wasn’t. I didn’t mean it to come out that way I was confused…I didn’t know what to say. Why didn’t you say, you knew I would have understood. I thought that we really had something good. Yes you’re right sometimes I was just so rude. Especially when I was in one of my special moods. That’s Ok, I guess I should’ve listen more. Instead of just walking out your door. Well you know, I cried almost every night. Thinking I had caused that fight. You cried? But I thought you didn’t care. I wanted to call you. But I just didn’t dare. Well I guess we were both fools in love. What were we really thinking of? Hey, there’s the smile I missed so much And of course, your gentle touch. So many nights I dreamed I was back in your arms. Dancing alone, lost within your charms. Do you know your eyes are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen? And your face is like an angel from a dream. I missed you so, just laying by your side. I missed those nights with you just holding me tight. So do I, hey, take my arm, lets take a walk. Ok, that’s fine. I think we need to talk. < !signature--> Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart. R. fox [This message has been edited by Ron K. Fox (edited 11-03-2000).] |

Nicely written, Ron. I like how you've incorporated both points of view in this tale. Communication, on every level, is of the highest import. I'm glad someone's writing happy endings. Thanks ~ Rainy |

Wow Ron, you got this one right. I've had a few of these talks before. It's amazing how we can get things so mixed up and go away thinking the wrong things. Great write. Juls |

sometimes words do come out wrong I am getting to know this feeling, love is a complicated game at times. Wonderfully written Ron. "an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women". Patti Smith |
