the down-side of romance
-----------------------------------

Ex lovebirds of the tamest passion can turn so predatory. Passive aggressive schoolboys who mock whistle at ex-girlfriends for spite. Who scatter book bag contents in mock accidents for supposed revenge. As witchcraft conjured by the nonbelligerent to silence the bully I summon some sweet, musical, lascivious words as orphic spells In self-effacing defense to tame the awful beast with dirty magic.

Pheromones do lurk in classrooms and hallways, and it does take maturity to understand them! You are quite right in that you have a lifetime in front of you to pick and choose - wisely! Aloha! Rico

Ah, the games people play; it is so amusing to step back and watch them act out. But don't ever give up on romance, the right one will come along sooner or later. John

Thanks John, I'm not stressing about it - plenty of time - it's not like I'll meet Mr. Right in virtual high school =]
