Kluless,

I Am So Fucked
“because all of my exes combined ; don't equal you ; giving me almost kisses ; almost right in time ; to save me...”
It's Your Call
“the woman you love ; despite my fucked-upped-a-ness”
”he says he loves me as much as he loves ; his kids but I don't believe him”
”I am forever cursed ; with fearing the worst ; you don't answer ; and I imagine you drunk ; or with someone else”
Everlasting Love is Possible, Virginia
“Everlasting love is possible but Gobstoppers are less trouble”
Chapter Six
“Right now is so good you wouldn't sell it to the highest bidder or give it away to the most pathetic beggar. Right now is yours and his. You are baby. You are loved. Adored. Explored at leisure. An excavated treasure too wild and transient for any museum. You are smug. Hugged. Shrug off tomorrow and all the stupid worries and anxieties. This is not math or grammar or American history. This is recess and he is pushing your swing the highest. You are flying, not caring about falling down and going BOOM.”
Fantastic writing as usual! You’re on my list of must-reads at the Blender Board.
Wordley,
In Passing.....
This is so beautiful and brought a flood of memories.
Chris,
love isn't math
“And I can't plot on a graph ; the exact coordinates ; of time and place and space ; we both occupied ; the moment I knew I loved ; you”
beautiful...
”When someone claimed love conquered all, they lied”
The last line won't leave my mind.
Star.....
Thank you...
Star, thank you for your kindness.

Isabella - War Games - most excellent! Analogies are original and quite good, especially the way you've identified a specific quality from each (very different) kind of warrior - the heartlessness for the mercenary, the silent skill for the sniper, the focus on victory of the general, etc. Way to come back with a bang!
deevaa - Karl - like the focus on his hands - funny how one little physical characteristic will stick with you. Powerful and unexpected ending as well...
JD - Saved - spurred me to go back and read your past subs as well, so I found Morning Ritual and Silence which are equally lovely. Sorry I missed them the first time around :)
Distant Moon,
Tiger Lilly, In Spain -- ahh lovely, admiration and flows eloquently from the beginning to it's ending...very lovely, my dear...

Ah, my English teacher mother would have my head... I meant metaphors, Isabella, not analogies :(
