I realize you dont try to, but you do. You make my heart race,my smile brighten,my stomach fluttery,but I still am unsure.

I don't love you because of .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/ShadowsEmber/1453112/ One thing i never noticed is how you truly felt.I was so blinded by my love for you that I hurt myself in the

http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/ShadowsEmber/1449764/ There is a hint of romance and love in the atmosphere.Something pleasant and cliche about the light of the moon.The city lights casting

see us as an improbable pair.You with the horns,but I with the halo. This is funny you see,for we have them deceived.You're the one with the wings,while my tail is sharp as shards of glass. What they

moment is perfect. When your lips meet mine for the millionth time today,I realize how much is pent up.My kisses stray to your bare neck,and you hover over me. With the fire in your eyes, you kiss me again. Sweet and gentle ye.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/ShadowsEmber/1440377/ Oh, love. We all say it. but what does it really mean?It isn't crazy and no matter what people say,it isn't

my mind for the millionth time today,  I try to keep my eyes open, to appear normal and happy.Though everyone can see through that as the colors around me start to blur. Globs of black, of white and
