Exotic_Beauty, about <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2007.12.13.12.58.22379">A Box Of Memories</a>:<BR>
Hello Exotic<BR>
<BR>
I recently moved from the UK to China, as a result I had to clear out my stuff from UK.For more years than I care to remember I waited for someone to come back to me but was never going to happen.When I was sorting thru my stuff I found the same "box" of memories that I had kept for more than 15 years, as I looked at each item I smiled and remembered that it was a good time...but was gone and wasn,t coming back.We don,t need solid things to remember past loves ,those memories will always be there for us whenever we wish to remember.As I put the box in the garbage bin there were tears but a feeling of closure also.Hang in there girl you have friends here, never feel you are alone OK .

:) Happy December every body!<BR>
<BR>
Kirk, ya know we back you: this sites lack of any other message than the most important: thoughts about the eternal ephemeral, good bad, delicious and/or fugly.<BR>
<BR>
Thank you for giving the romantic poet a place to offer up some of our ramblings on the matter.<BR>
<BR>
And thanks for the pick. I've been fighting through an ugly health issue or two, and to see that just lightened my load. :) Glad you liked it (and now that I read it over, it only needs a lil polishing... but it's still hardly Hallmark materiel! lol)

<BR>
Oh yum, Dar... but Kirk, I'd say wanting "fingers twisting... in me" to be pretty explicit! :D<BR>
<BR>
Great line, great feel... and love the phrase "tied back waiting"... there's a whole world in that line, as there is in the moment it describes.<BR>
<BR>
Delicious work, Darwin. Thank you!

Well, I was feeling explicit when I was writing it, so it could have gone much further than it did :) <BR>

Thanks for the comments!

Kirk...first off, thank you so much for the front page pick...but on a "how did I not make it clear" note, when you say "which she says reflects her mental state these days"<BR>
<BR>
I'm a guy.  Just...future reference.  But thanks for seeing my tender side. ;-)
