I'm in love with loves dance I'm not in love with you I need this fine romance To help to see me through I have to take a chance It's the one thing, I must do But I'm in love with loves dance I'm not in love with you I'm in love with flirtation I don't really care for you Complimentary situations Can prevent my feeling blue The soar of this temptation Will make me glow anew But I'm in love with flirtation I don't really care for you The softest sigh, a glance Can make my heart swoon, true And tender words perchance Will lift me up, with wings for you I'm craving for romance A love to see me through But I'm in love with love's dance I'm not in love with you Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Sven, I'm in love with love but it's all in my head! *laughs* Marge, snap, it's the magnetic flux! loved your "waltz of romance" I might give that a spin if I can find someone to dance with. Irish Rose, I get into trouble with flirting too, it's half the fun , would that they were someone to flirt with me. *s*Marsha, given that you loved my Rumbly, Tumbly Song, I'm not surprised you loved this. Raise your standards girl! set your sights on things above, thanks for loving it, it was a little whimsey that got caught in my flux. Be well Keth Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Kethry love, I'll have you know that my tastes are superior in every way. (About the only thing I got from schooling love, was the ability to kneel at the drop of a hat, along with the ability to see beauty. Oh and to walk around with a book on my head, and a very odd version of history. But excellant taste in the arts. So trust me kid, when I say it is beautiful I know it is. Take care love Slushy And your Rumbly Tumbly Song was wonderful love. I told you I have taste. Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Sy, thank you for the Wow, it's a compliment coming from you. And just for that... we play the lover's game forget about the pain we get when love is lost when we must bear the cost the game is all in all it lift's us, stands us tall but people crash and burn as from the game they learn when never quite the same when we've played flirtation's game. ( I'm not doing smileys, I hate the hatKit, that the master weaver should compliment my work Wow! Marsha, you do have taste, true! But it's utterly and completely overshadowed by your faith and loyalty. As for walking with a book balanced on your head that's your deportment!Poeminister, Thanks for stopping by and commenting, any friend of Poe's is a friend of mine.

Nuts! I really thought it was me...and now you tell me it's just for the thrill of romancing me and not really me at all. This is a crushing disappointment that will be hard to overcome. I shall now sulk for 3 hours and 42 minutes  |

Kethry, So beautiful and heartfelt. I think so many of us are "in love with being in love". Sometimes the fantasies are so much better than the reality. Lovely. Elise |

Kethry love, loyalty I may have in abundance, but since I can still do a critique love. (I can Kari taught me, watch and learn )This piece of yours is composed with the lightest of touches, it has the flow of a river, moving in an undulating stream that effortlessly takes the reader with it. And it is a fine and delightful piece. There a fabulous critique, I should get an A for that love at the very least. Deportment, I love it, you won't scoff when I'm the only one walking around with a straight back and everyone else is hunched over. I'll be as graceful as a swan.Take care kid love Slushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

(sigh) Yes, I have that feeling right now too. I am "lovesick in the longing for love", and I have had no luck yet finding my girl. But you will find true love outside the lust and pain, and you will swoon with his beauty. Thank you for sharing, my friend! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Mistletoe Angel, I think 'lovesick' is the correct word in that we swoon over the ideal of love, but forget that relationships are made up with fragile, human and very real people. Sometimes the dream is better than the reality *SiGH!* Here endeth the lecture.lol be well Keth Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

I really liked this... Almost like I could see someone(wish it could be me) standing face to face and saying this.. I also liked your reply to MA.....that we swoon over the ideal of love, but forget that relationships are made up with fragile, human and very real people. Sometimes the dream is better than the reality *SiGH!* Made much sense to me as I know too well, sometimes the dream is better than the reality..Yep, I liked this, much. ~LL~ < !signature--> The way to love anything is to realize it might be lost. author unknown [This message has been edited by Lady Lightning (edited 01-09-2001).] |

Rex, you are right, I probably could put this to music if I didn't sing like a troll. Martie glad you stopped by. The music's in my head as is the dream, anytime you want to collect either feel free to stop by. *laughs* Lady Lightning, thanks for stopping by and reading. I appreciate it.
