He says: My dear, you know I love you I'm glad you've given me your heart It's everything I wanted right from the very start I longed to see you look at me Eyes smoldering with passion Heart bursting with love -- and now that I have it, I think that I'll be passin' Cause you see, I love you dearly And I cherish you, my friend But, for commitment, I'm not ready so our romance will have to end I'd love to spend my life with you We sure were meant to be but, for commitment I'm not ready So I think it's time to flee Because, I might have been mistaken and it's not true love that we've shared We should have left it only friendship -- Or maybe I'm just scared. You're still the one I'll come to 'Cause I need you on my side or for quiet snuggles in the dark My dear friend, you're true and tried I'll call you when I'm hurting and I need my bestest friend I'll come and do your yard work 'cause that's a job for men. I'll fix the things around your place Put the brightest smile on your daughter's face I'll come when I feel so all alone and treat your house just like my home I'll hold you closely when you weep And carry you gently to dreaming sleep Encompassed in my loving arms So you'll know you're safe from harm As long as you remember that we can only be "just friends" 'cause for commitment I'm not ready ... just to reiterate again. I never want to hurt you And I'd like to still be friends But, for commitment I'm not ready, So here our love-in ends. I hope you understand, my dear No, baby, please don't cry We'll work it out together -- Just as friends -- But side by side. |

She says: You are utterly amazing To do this once again For commitment you're not ready So we have to let this end? (Again?!) I don't think so this time, Buster Twice you've dropped down to one knee You've persisted for 2 DECADES And now you think you're leaving me?! Dear friend, I'm growing weary so, my running days are through I'll be no more, Penelope, To your Pepe le Pew Kryptonite to each other's Superman That's what you say we are You've got to know you're stuck with me It's written in the stars I'll give you tough love if it's needed I'm not afraid to scrap 'Cause let me tell you, love of mine I know you're full of crap. I know you're scared to hurt me Or perhaps that I'll hurt you But babe, it's time to grow up now You know that this is true. You see, I know that if I let you run Return, again, you will For another lap around the base Instead of heading up the hill (a lap, I said, not a lick .. perv!) We've been here far too many times For me, once more, to let you roam Buck up, my little 'fraidy cat Up to the top we go (not on top -- to the top, get back on your side of the couch! I did not say anything about bucking, knock it off!) No, don't you dare give me that look! It won't work, not today Your caress will not distract me From what I have to say (you're coming too close, invading my personal space, "friend") Oh God, no, please don't kiss me You know my buttons all too well What is this spell you're casting .... Hey! Get off me -- what the hell? (hands off the merchandise!) Just friends, indeed! you drive me nuts it's a short trip, yes I know now, you get back in your corner And let my tangent flow Let me tell you something, buddy Listen close and understand Our boots were made for walking And we'll do it - hand in hand (and lips to neck, warm breath to ear and tender fingers to my brow wait, when did you you come over here? ya know, you .. oh forget it - just come and take me now) |

Sounds like your relationship with your man is definitely one of "Divine Chaos"! ...Talk about an emotional roller coaster! But even those dips can be exciting! I also enjoyed the tongue in cheek humour you threw in for the ride! Very entertaining ~ and interesting! ~ read! btw, your personality litterly pops off the page!   EA |

this brought a smile, sent up some flags as reasons, yet, submission seems to be the happy ending...relationships, don't run away from each other, friends or otherwise... loved the descriptions, the touch of humor and the reality of it all... great write |

*grins* thanks ladies! For a little background, if you're interested -- he and I have been on this ride for 20+ years, from the time we were young and in junior high school. We were and are the best of friends. He was always my own personal Pepe le Pew, chasing me until I finally gave in. And I, the Penelope, who eventually became the chaser, instead of the chasee. We've gone back and forth several times, been engaged twice. He's skittish, as we've both had one failed marriage already (to other people in the midst of the chase). It's certainly a divinely chaotic roller coaster of a life, but in the end, it's all about the ride, isn't it?  ~*Sheli*~ |

at least he's there when you need him and he needs you and even if it's not the marriage commitment..it is a commitment of sorts....I loved the He Says...because I know people like that. The She Says shows your strength... M |

I would say you have it all except the words before the the preacher. Twenty years. Some committments don't last nearly so long. Funny and intrigueing. Love, Joyce |

we do, Joyce, it's the whole "words before the preacher" that sends him running scared. I have no clue why he's so afraid of the preacher-man ... since it happens to be his dad *grins merrily* It never ceases to amuse me, even when he's making me absolutely insane, that my big bad Marine's greatest fear ... is a tiny slip of paper with a dotted line to sign. ~*Sheli*~ |

I love this, but then what have I not loved? If you did a poem on brussel sprouts -- maybe, I wouldn't love that. Prolly not! But then, you would make me laugh - so I would. Anyway, I am just running off at the fingers here. I love it. I love what she said the best. Cause she always says it so well as she has such a way with words and all. aziza |

I'm so glad y'all enjoyed this, I enjoyed writing it - and even though I'm usually dancing on the edge of sanity with this man, I've loved living it. ~*Sheli*~ |
