I have no idea why you would want to get to know me as I never stay in one place or in one relationship for very long and all I ever see is the end of the proverbial tunnel of LOVE, never the points at which one would want to stop off and remain a while. Why? I tend not to ask that question anymore. And yet? There is this faint glimmer of hope that needles me constantly, makes me want to turn around and rest a moment longer than usual on the road of give-and-take. Perhaps, I have been asleep at the wheel of fortune and missed a right turn? |

Angel, it's a really twisted road, one that I'm not sure I can safely travel. Edder, LOL, maybe we should both look for new maps? |

Or perhaps, your just looking for someone with a little more give, and a little less take... Sometimes things just don’t work out all that great at those rest areas, along the way of our journey... And so we learn to just keep on going, and not stop, unless we really have to... But then again, sometimes we realize that, what’s the use of being on a journey, if we can’t appreciate the drive for the trip... Let alone all the nice scenery, along the way... Kacy, the only idea, I don’t know why, is... Why anybody, wouldn’t want to get to know you? You haven’t been asleep, and you haven’t missed any turns... You just haven’t come to that one red light yet... The one that is emanating from that one special person’s heart... And into yours... Best Wishes, on a safe and wonderful drive, OK? And hey, just remember to send us a postcard every now and again OK?... Or else me and the fellah’s will have to round up a posse and come lookin for ya... lol Richy [This message has been edited by Richy (10-10-2003 01:55 AM).] |

A write befitting the arrival of the full moon,most certainly a thought shared by many.Made me think of Jerry Jeff's "Jaded Lover".Especially the line "the only kind of man you ever wanted was the kind that you couldn't hold on to very long,sitting there crying like I'm the first one to go"... I think alot of us tend to run when we start to feel vulnerable to the pain of love or rejection.Well I don't know why either just thought it was a expressive,heartfelt write that I had no problem relating with.  Live like it's your last day... Dance like nobody's watching... Love like you've never been hurt... [This message has been edited by bbent (10-10-2003 05:54 AM).] |

very intense and candid poem. This I liked...and all of the caring comments left...may I add, that sometimes I think people run from relationships b/c it becomes to serious and the responsibility for someone else scares them to death. It's ok as long as there are no expectations..and to, perhaps we become afraid that we might fail that person, and don't want to, so we run???? Great creative write, put into words by a very honest heart...thank you for sharing. |

There is this faint glimmer of hope that needles me constantly, makes me want to turn around and rest a moment longer than usual on the road of give-and-take. ~*~ Soon enough, that little needling voice will put on the brakes. You'll know when...  |

"...I never stay in one place or in one relationship for very long and all I ever see is the end of the proverbial tunnel of LOVE, never the points at which one would want to stop off and remain a while." You sound like every woman with whom I've shared a tube of toothpaste. I have always thought it was just a gender trait in your generation. Well written! |

Morning .... Read this and thought about several things...and then settled on the essence of hope... hope that we find the one who is indeed THE person and are able to enjoy those points along the road... hope that what ever it might be inside of us, that has for one reason or another been a part of ending relationships is finally understood and overcome... and hope dear lady... that for you there is a lasting happiness and a life filled with love... |

Richy, you are the compassionate tender loving brother I never had. (and I had three brothers) Ray, I always liked that song line. Maybe because it is easy to relate to it? Lee, thank you for your warm reply. Yes, there is much truth to what you say. Karilea, smiling at you, always encouraging me to to stay a hopeful pathway. Icebox, those tubes of toothpaste never lie, and they aren't generation or gender specific. LOL, thanks, my friend. Ron, I keep my shades on in bright light, but still hope to recognize when the view in the alley is just right.  |

all I ever see is the end of the proverbial tunnel of LOVE, never the points at which one would want to stop off and remain a while. Why? I tend not to ask that question anymore. Oh Kacy, I absolutely loved this, every single word went straight to my heart. So clever and so true!!! |
