Once I gazed on you in silence Feared to speak a single word Though words were trembling to be spoken Once I smiled a wistful smile Suppressed the love that grew inside And called you my best friend Once, but now no longer Each day the love grew stronger Until "I love you" came bursting through And then the silence grew and grew Just when I'd began to doubt The silence broken Softly, softly, as a sigh... "I love you too" Pepper "A poem is the very image of life expressed in its eternal truth." Percy Bysshe Shelley [This message has been edited by peppermint35 (01-14-2002 04:39 PM).] |

You can feel the anticipation in your words. And when you get to the reply of "I love you too" you just can't help but smile. |

(smiles) Sooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, it feels like the most happiest feeling in the world when one answers back when a lover declares love to someone. (smiles) Sooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, may true loves happiness forever shine in your heart and fill you with the silence of true happiness! (kiss on cheek) I love it, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lavenia, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
