Another night is fast approaching Like a runaway train without a guide. I sit at a window in my attic Watching the deepest part of the milky way. A star shoots down and I have a whim, A wish that will be secret. Yet it bothers me a lot That I should not share it with you. Is it a superstition not to share? Is it the norm to keep the wish Bottled up in the depth of one’s soul? Yet what care I for norm or habit? I would rather share it with you. For if it were up to me I'd share everything with you, All of my love and happiness, All of my cares and despairs. All of my life and existence All that I have and don't have. Yet in the end, I ask you: Are you prepared to share?

Romantic work which seems to not be secure yet. Sometimes sharing of ourselves opens doors for a deeper relationship but sometimes it opens doors for the other person to use the information to hurt us. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara

An excellent, and thought provoking, heartfelt discourse. Sometimes it's hard to share thoughts, even with a loved one. Blessings

Are you ready to open up? And, sure, we'd want to give you all of that, as well as your emotions, joys, anxieties, and concerns. Although you sought to convey things, But, in the end, you kept what you tried to convey hidden, and there is no guilt for that. This is a brilliant discussion, some of which pertains to some of your most intimate thoughts. It's nicely done, too. Whenever you need us, we'll be here for you, Victor.
