Defenses

July 12, 1998


>Way to go [...]!
>
but where are we going, [...]? (toward friendship and understanding,
I hope... can I let a smile out trusting you to believe I mean you
no harm? :)

>Seems like there's another point of view here, ric?
>
I would hope there are lots of points of view, one for each poster...

>Perhaps we should just respect each other and try again?
>
yup, agreed... I'm really trying and I hope it shows in my words... and
I believe [...] is trying too (I really like him, think he'll let me? :)

>Love to you both,
>
thank you and back to you as well :)

honest love, ric


we come here with defenses up,
scarred and still bleeding and in pain
to think we won't bleed on each other
we'd have to think again

in moments dark so late at night
I want to go insane
so I don't have to feel so much
and know it in my brain...


* it just takes one person sharing how you feel               
         to make the world friendly and make the feeling real *


"Like the spirit that binds us together                            
                         We are so much more    -  than islands"
                                     ~~ John Denver ~~

"and when you finally find you have a real friend somewhere...       
                  suddenly all the others are so much easier to bear"
                                     ~~ Jackson Browne ~~
