you choose amnesia
self inflicted malady
I am the healer

term of endearment
now given to another
you try to forget

my fragrance lingers
love fights for recognition
sweet awakening

For me, Laura, finding the photos is half the fun. I collect pics that really touch my heart....flowers, hearts, antiques, quotes...and when I'm down, I look through them. Thanks for the visit. Hugs
