Dear Dennis,
"True" friendship binds my life to yours. It
is trusting, but delicate. Love got in the way.
I really understand your enigmatic nature.
Why? You are the man-likeness of me, Woman.
Faults ("humaness") or varying degrees of
sensitivity are understood, intelligence is
appreciated; but passionate yearnings must be
subdued. Better to lose lust than the love of the
soul and all the emotions, etc. therein of my
friend.
You are an elusive butterfly, like you've
seen me; yet the lovely translucent glow of our
friendship speaks supremely of itself.
Love,
Kathy
p.s. I liked the card. It expressed your feelings
perfectly ( I think ).

p.s.s Narcissus and Goldmun was a treasure. Thank
you, Gallagher.
