green eyes leaking milk
I can’t let him see
I need you, darling
I need you so much
I need you to say I’m yours
I want to be the man
Of your dreams
But I am just a green eyed lady
The gravity of the moon cannot change this tide
I want to be your man
Cause I’m so madly
In love with you, baby
With your sweet brown eyes
And honey smile
Glowing all midnight sunshine in my heart
I wanna be your home away from home
I need you
Do you need me too?
I do not think so. Maybe not in this way…
I was once your lemon balm
I wanna be your sweet lover
And husband
And to hear that
You need me as much I as need you

Dear best friend
Hello my dear! I listened to All Too Well and I truly loved it. A very beautiful song. I am working on a sequel right now to Bexley and also I am trying to get my other stories published but haven’t heard anything back yet. I’m doing ok. It’s been really stressful and terribly hard but it’s gotten a little better.

Is Personal Agency Only for the Young?
I am angry. This week I was Threading through Threads and came across a post from a woman that said, among other things: "How can I make my mother stop coloring her hair and just go grey? She's 62 and not fooling anyone; she and her friends are old and it's time that she acts her age."

"I was once your lemon balm," I luv that line. A great poem.

The angst and longing drive home with every line. Very nicely done.
