 . . . if you chose to love weep not for it's undoing instead be grateful that someone cared so deeply frightened too this dream might end . . . Chris Barker July 2004 ~~~ |

(chuckling).. hun.. the temptation doesn't depend on how big the basket..or if it even qualifies as a basket... size isn't everything you know... (male myth we continue to expound upon to avoid feelings of inferiority)  |

Hi!  All baskets hanging or otherwise aside.. this is such an honest poem Chris. It's like that saying..um, "Don't cry because it's over.. Smile because it happened". Two people go into a relationship knowing it could end so why weep, uh, if it does..and .. I just completely lost my train of thought...(I think they just kicked in cause I have the giggles and rambles too!!)Sorry..*Nancy tries to regain her composure..as though she ever had any* Seriously little sister..I love this.. and you chose the perfect pic to go with it. ~Hugs, love and miss ya, Teed~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

I once dated a nice gentleman who stated that he "grew too comfortable, too quickly..." Have to give him credit for a drop-dead line....  |

There is the risk in loving, but it is worth the reward -- hugs -- Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Beautiful thoughts...the reason I feel bad is that I feel like I fell in love all by myself...disappointing...very disappointing when that happens...but can be avoided by giving the heart more slowly...hard...very hard...James |

Thankyou all for your more than kind replies. James - many of us fall too fast, too hard. It is hard to learn to slow down when love is in the air. Hugs! |
