         “SAY TO ME WHEN”
                      by
                  Bill Charles
                       ~~~~
When the flowers bloom in spring,
  I would come to you then,
    my thoughts you would know of,
      yet I ask of you, say to me when…

When the sun caresses you in summer,
  I would come to you then,
    my embrace would you know of,
      yet I ask of you, say to me when…

When the leaves flow silent in autumn,
  I would come to you then,
    my kiss you would know of,
      yet I ask of you, say to me when….

When the snow drifts in winter,
  I would come to you then,
    my warmth you would know of,
      yet I ask of you, say to me when…

I would come to you now,
  or perhaps come to you later,
    my touch you would then know of,
      and I will love you, today and ever after…

(smiles) Spring is my favorite season of the year, but no matter what time of year it is never too late or awkward to speak of a love that is true! (big hugggsssssss) This is precious, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bill, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Bill,

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Ah, Bill...the seasons are all made for love. You've shown that it is the lovers who make the final choice.  Nice one, BC!!

A truly happy person is one who
can enjoy the scenery on a detour!

How nice to hear a male express himself so openly.  If this is written to someone special, I wish you the very best.  Anyone who is able to verbalize their feelings so openly deserves the nicest things possible in life.  Barb

Bill, this is honestly one of the best, if not the best I have seen from you.
Wonderful flow to his piece.
Much enjoyed the read...
