Too Soon, Too Soon

Escaped! furtive glances Manifest of enchanted trances Arrested by crimson faces averted Too soon, too soon, they'd flirted The air yearned with sensation Surreptitious, delicious anticipation Peering deeply into each other's eyes Too soon, too soon, they'd rhapsodized Tilted heads on swooning necks Lips toward targets puckered, flexed The moment arrived, two souls to merge Too soon, too soon, they'd felt the urge... Somberly returned, Cupid's bent arrow to its quiver Too soon, too soon, murmured love's melancholy river

Love happens, and it is wonderful, and we may not have tomorrow. Mike drop.

Well, reasonable people can disagree at times--without being disagreeable! So, I would propose this: Infatuation happens, and it feels wonderful. I'm with you there. Love, on the other hand, is something that's cultivated, withstands tests, and doesn't always feel wonderful. O.K., appreciate your observation and your support. Best always, Gershon

If it's right, is it ever really...too soon? A beautiful story Gershon. Great flow and lovely to read this morning!!!

Ha, ha -- That's quite a big IF, my friend. Of course, one never knows for sure if it's right … Yet as someone who is divorced and remarried, whose first two kids are both divorced, whose ex-wife's entire 4 siblings are all divorced, I guess I'm prone to think that in affairs of the heart and the eyes, one errs on the side of caution… At any rate, thank you for your encouragement and support. Best wishes, Gershon
