Spin the Bottle

A night of drinking, Playing "Never have I ever." I walk in the room I see the face, That haunts my dreams standing, Before me taking my breath away. I take a couple steps back as I, Hear "Don't you dare leave you, Need to quit running from me." I smile back. I'm caught. So everyone ups the ante, We play Spin The Bottle. The bottle spins, spins, spins, Lands on me. The dare....Kiss someone you've, Never kissed before but you've, Always wanted to. I grab your hand and we stand up. Your standing in front of me, I've always wanted you but, I've always been so scared, So I just run. Then I hear you say, I'm not running from you. I'm all yours, I've always been yours. We kiss tenderly as I pull, You towards me holding you close. Then I hear whooo it's about time!!! What was this planned?? It's the only I could stop, You from running away. I'm not running, I'm home! We've been together for 20 years, It all began with Spin The Bottle!!!!

Hello Shirley, I have a long, long, time ago. It is fun. Yes I do believe the eyes are the window to the soul. Yes and the message sometimes is Don't bother me. Or just a tease. So with faith one day the message will be right. Hugs.

You know I never played it so I hope I got the rules right. Haha. I always say the eyes are the doorway into the soul..... Sometimes you don't realize that when you glance at someone your eyes are definitely having a whole entire message and the person on the receiving end can see right into your soul. Yes fate with alittle help. Thanks have a great day

How sweet, Shirley. It was obviously meant to be. I'm happy to learn that something positive and good came out of "spin the bottle!"
