Innocent Flirtation

It was an innocent flirtation
That started the whole affair
Just one note of encouragement
Sent our emotions spiraling without a care

One note lead to hundreds
Those to texts and calls
We would talk for hours
About everything or nothing at all

We said from the beginning
That friends is all we could ever be
The distance was just to great
For a relationship to become a reality

We both wanted someone close by
To touch and lay beside each night
A lover to walk hand in hand with
A partner to make life right

After weeks of talking
and what we have learned
We were playing with fire
And we are gonna get burned

We mean a lot to one another
Our feelings are a jumbled mess
Its like a no win situation
That left me feeling hopeless

On one hand, we should let it go
On the other, what if your the one for me...
Perhaps we should say goodbye
Or Maybe.. just wait and see

Ah! Country Lady

When the heart is telling you one thing and the head telling you something different, no one can truly advise whether to follow the heart or the head. I am by nature a romantic and tend to let my heart rule my head.

Basically, for it to work, one of you has to be willing to re-locate, and then HOPE everything will be fine...

Kindest regards, and best of luck...

My dear country lady, it's true, we never know where can an innocent flirtation lead to...love can blossom or it can just be an interlude, this depends on meeting of the minds. Very interesting write- Love it!teddybear teddybear teddybear

Great heartfelt write Country Lady....there is no answer but time, then you will know the way forward, but never turn you back on love because it isn't the easiest option...but then I am a romantic...and would go anywhere for the man I love....wrong or right....silly I know, but I won't change now....niahdoh teddybear

I am a hopeless romantic. Love is such a precious item that it needs to be nurtured no matter where it is found. I sincerely hope that everything works out for you and happiness is finally found.

happy place teddybear
