You're the type of person who can look into someone's eyes while talking.
I'm the type of person who has to look away every once in a while.

I think this would be more effective, if you are deadset on the wording, if it were broken up different.  Some line breaks would benefit.  Also if you were more descriptive, which doesn't mean that you need to add more words, just be sure to use the best words you can.

" if it were broken up different.  Some line breaks would benefit."

Well put.

I think it definetely has promise, just maybe a bit more depth to it... by depth I mean to it's length, or format, not neccessarily it's meaning.

Erin~
I really enjoyed the thoughts you've penned here.
I do have to agree with Casey and Ti, though,
that this would be even more effective if it
were broken up into a few more shorter lines.
That, I believe, would give more emphasis to
what you are attempting to convey.
As I said though, I do love the whole idea of this.
Nicely done.

I have to agree with all the above, it has a nice message it just needs something more. Maybe you could shorten the title a bit to, that title is really long, maybe to something like when we talked, or just we talked, or something to the effect. At any rate good job......really potential (sp)
