*Thanks to Just a Woman for the phrase* fingertip touches play against my skin like the drawing of a bow to a violin string coaxing and caressing the softest and gentlest of melodies from the depths of my wounded soul quitely, they begin trailing down the side of my face tracing the outline of my eyes, my ears, my lips the first phrases of this movment of our love in a key only known to the most intimate of lovers in time with the beating of the heart then, as the phrases develop the touches become more and more exquisite, moving me leading me down the path to where my soul joins with hers as the performer draws his bow passionately across the strings the virtuosity and fire of his interpretation propelling the listener into his realm scaling the highest notes with ease then, as the last echo of notes fade into the background the only sound that is heard is that of love and I am placed lovingly back into my case to be played again by the only performer my heart has known ------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

"and I am placed lovingly back into my case to be played again by the only performer my heart has known" She should never have placed you back into the case. You should be kept out so that you can play always for us. Sir this was so eloquently written!! ENCORE ENCORE ENCORE |
