Dare not dwell in a soft gaze to linger there's a dewinging flypaper flaw Mono or at best bi-syllabic send no message to be construed as opening up Be open to your gratification but leave true passion in a glass in the other room Fall back on the sexual roles of past generations if it aids you to elude or not initiate the call Never put anything in writing that may come morning trap you expected so to read Speak not specific names in adoration but simple, general terms which lend to any et al When forced certain phrasing like "I miss you" is acceptable as long as followed by a "too" Be certain that it's their hands which seek to comfort and by all means never be such after dawn Let not the light of day reveal you as a vulnerable and needy human being Sleep past the others arousal perhaps they'll leave (or at least make coffee) Employ the use of caller I D you can always tell the next one you don't know who it is "Happy people have no history" - French Proverb |

I have to agree with Helen. It doesn't matter what you write... your words are always stirring. ~Hugs~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

I would imagine the number of relationships doomed by one or more of these is mind-boggling. *S* This is excellent... and though my first response was MALE to many of them... *G* I think we can all find our guilt if we're honest enough. *S* |

No, as strange as it may read these attributes could all be attached to a seemingly intelligent, well read and I assumed, sensitive female who responded to my passion in ways thought appropriate. Go figure. |

When forced certain phrasing like "I miss you" is acceptable as long as followed by a "too" this stood out to me....you have a wonderful way of expressing sir ~ how not to love indeed Bravo great write! Sammie ^i^ |
