"it's fascinating but a mess/ imagine if each time we kissed/ my ear fell off." <br /><br />i love it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8487146.post-1126925603238881042005-09-16T21:53:00.000-05:002005-09-16T21:53:00.000-05:00Beautiful.It's a word that sometimes doesn't do ju...Beautiful.It's a word that sometimes doesn't do justice.(Kind of like right now)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8487146.post-1126133419542253002005-09-07T17:50:00.000-05:002005-09-07T17:50:00.000-05:00Thanks....Thanks....Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607786046959671496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8487146.post-1126133264004112402005-09-07T17:47:00.000-05:002005-09-07T17:47:00.000-05:00Thank you for posting this.
