Super sweet and simply written, which is brilliant. Little words, yet mighty and strong...rich with meaning and abundant in creativity. -JWE

This must be fruit from Fantasyland, Akkina:) On the other hand, it also reminds me of children who have and speak to imaginary friends! Hugs & smiles ... paul

It sounds like crushes I had on guys I never really never knew as a youth, like movie stars or just guys at school!!

Just my silly mind. Always wanders off to find lines. Although I know what's you mean, I grew up on Clint Eastwood cowboy movies, and I used to stare at his picture believing I was gonna marry him when I grow old enough to be married. Lol!

Now if you can take all this on board, and a thousand other dynamic distractions too, you might just decide to fall in love with the Dragon. But hold tight to your knickers because this is going to be the journey of a lifetime. In return you will find a partner who is always interesting, rarely in the doldrums, and capable of loving you with a fierce intensity and who is great fun to have around. They will run you ragged, prompt you, harass you and drive you to distraction. But you will love them with a passion that matches their own

Yes I'm in love with a dragon. Lol!
