Every night I crawl beneath your arm. I smell your scent, eyes closed, And for a moment all I can smell is you. And that's perfect. Every night I crawl into that spot You like me to stay You know the one... The dirty little corner. You say I'm safe there And out of your way. Every night I kiss the tears upon my cheek With my fingertip So light... It still burns From where you hit me. And every night I sleep In memories of you Because with all my broken heart I love you. |

Thank you littlewing -hugs- I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |

This is very heart-wrenching. Bitter sweet love is known by me also. I enjoyed the read. Cherie.. [This message has been edited by Bombella (04-16-2003 02:09 AM).] |

Thanks Cherie I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |

lol, you're right 1slick_lady. James: Yes, it is. But it is not about me. It's about a good friend of mine and sadly, I have tried everything I can to wake her up from this illusion...But she's so stubborn...like people in this situation often are. ~sighs~ Thanks for your comments everyone. I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |

Thank you James, I'll keep that in mind I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |
