Tell Me Again

 

 

Tell me again…

of how you could never leave me -

how the mere perfection of such a love as this

may never come again

 

 

 

 

Tell me how to forget

the magnificence of this moment -

how the symmetry of our bodies together

will outlast the brilliance of the stars in the sky

 

And if I fail to remember,

forever being lost in your eyes

…tell me again

[Ashira Macy]

Short but sweet, I think we all crave that validation. Tell me you love me, tell me we will work. You made it very romantic and tender, very well written.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Oh yes, sweet validation...I admit it, I'm needy! Thank you, Ashira! Lovely name, btw!

[Ashira Macy]

Aw thanks Kelly! =D And you are very welcome.

Beautiful beyond words, Kelly. "If I fail to ever remember being lost in your eyes" tells it all.

[Kelly Scheppers]

You are so dear to comment - thank you, Dara!

I could read this two ways...'tell me how to forget' suggests to me this one didn't last and you need a spoonful of sugar to get it down....either way, it's golden Kelly.

[Kelly Scheppers]

..a spoonful of sugar and a pint of Ben & Jerry's! I guess it could go either way...thank you, darlin! LOVE the new avatar!! ...she's with her Bogie now! ; )

[Frieda P]

Ha make that Cherry Garcia and you're on girlfriend...I sure hope she's giving him snarky lip up there right now, 'Just put your lips together and blow' ;)

[Kelly Scheppers]
