Missed Connections in Nashville, TN
From the moment you opened the door, rakishly throwing your head back, I wanted

You ..
Reading your soul, in highlight and dark shadow, I wanted
You ..

It’s a fine line between the desire to hold and the need to possess. Once you cross the line can you ever go back?
