and once or twice i shed a tear
but i ain’t never been loved
oh yeah, i been hugged on
and kissed on an’ i been loved on
but i ain’t never been loved
not through and through
not till now
till you

Oh what a sweet sentiment to someone...never been loved till now with you...I like that..could be a song!
Oh, you turned it around on its head at the end, Jenean. Didn't see that coming! But it's beautiful. We always know when "LOVE" makes its way into our lives, don't we? Everything that happened before and everything that happens after doesn't matter, either! I loved your words, here.

thank you marlene - yes, very sweet - and true in at least one case! ;)
nevine - oh, yeah, when LOVE comes along, we know it alright - and that's all that matters - that and nothing more and nothing less - thank you so much for your always encouraging words!
Left me with melancholy and joy intertwined.
Lovely words Jenean.
Joy always,
Susan
Thought I was reading a song's lyrics - wonderful!
Have a wonderful weekend too!
Mwah!
LOLA:)
Oh yeah! Now this is a gypsy woman's voice. Reminds me of my
Aunt Rue. Seduced by the bluesy
quality of the poem.
Oh, that was kind of sad...Until I reached the end. And then I understood and nodded with recognition.;)
Have a lovely weekend,
xo
