Remembering Linda Oh she was a beauty, though I'd never say it, you my best friend, and she -- yours. Gentle defined her, soft blue eyes that spoke of things friends don't say, and soft -- everything. But I never said it, never thought the thought, tried not to think at all, and stayed -- your friend. She told you once she was afraid of me sometimes. I was hurt, didn't understand. Now -- I do. For dingusjr, and for his sweet lady |

or afraid she couldn't trust herself and afraid that you woudln't make her deny her desire? this was good... "Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare." -Japanese Proverb |

close to my heart, being a chronic lover. Danger zone was entered, acknowledged, and avoided. A true friend you are. Good write. Peace, the big MT |

Nope, ks....Never a possibility of that -- those two are folks we all should envy, soulmates who found each other at first light...grade school, I think, or so close to it that I can't remember a time when they weren't together. I had 'em on a pedestal for that even then. Those eyes though -- any fellow would wish to see things in them, though only one ever did. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Ed...I thought I replied to this earlier when I first read it. To have seen the start of this kind of love that continues, is so sweet, as is the friendship you keep!  |

Gentle defined her, soft blue eyes that spoke of things friends don't say, She sounds like a special lady, indeed... What a beautiful remembrance from a special poet... in a few words, you say quite a lot about you, your friend... and the lovely Linda... all good. *S* |
