Between the Lines By Larry Chadwick If subtly were my style, I love you Would you read between the lines? I love you Catching what I tried to say, I love you Or would you miss the signs? Dare I take that chance, I love you And risk that you won’t know? I love you Or maybe it would take too long, I love you And you would learn too slow. Should I be direct, I love you And say just what I mean? I love you Or is discretion better, I love you Should I keep my message lean? How brave am I, I love you To trust you with my heart? I love you Please don’t think I’m coy, I love you Though I felt it from the start. I can’t take the chance, I love you I’m not that strong. I love you So here it goes, I love you Let's hope that I’m not wrong. March 19, 2002 Everybody thinks of changing humanity and nobody thinks of changing himself.

Kacy, Boy what a relief! I was afraid you wouldn't get the message.  But it's never too late. Right? |

LOL, it's never too late until I fall asleep at the keyboard. Even then, there's always tomorrow.  |

Kacy, You know some really awesome poetry has been written in that nodding mode. But I'll be hanged if I'll ever confess!  |

Most of my stuff was written by the dream writer, not the typewriter.  Does this count as a confession? I never confess. And of course, I didn't do it. Not ever. Never confess even when they catch you, that's what my cousin said. |

Kacy, Never confess is on the theory that you should never allow reality to interfere with life. ROTFL So I assume that's your story and you're sticking to it! |

Of course. Meanwhile, if you want to stay up all night, I posted my first prose piece her at Pips tonight, a rather long one about climbing Mount Masada. I will understand if you don't get to it tonight. After all, older men need to go to bed early and get their beauty sleep. |

  BRAVO!!! Ooohhhhhhh...I just love how you say the most significant part of your sentiments between the lines in this fabulous poem, sweet friend, I feel those messages between the lines can always explain true sentiments simply! (big hugggsssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Larry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Most of my reading is between the lines. Notice I didn't say between the sheets? [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (03-23-2002 12:47 AM).] |

Sharon, Well...you know me, I had to show her this. Although, I must confess I wrote my Christmas present poem to her in November and posted it and she didn't see until 12-25! Even I was impressed. LOL Thanks. |
