But, his voice on the phone so mellow and low,
his eyes so green ---
I feel the glow
His beard I like, his sexy ways
He makes me forget the lonely days
He fills me up and sets me straight,
and I forget all past mistakes.
Where its going --- I don't know,
but I know I love him so ---

A yearning inside -- no one else can fill it. The
burning feeling -- no one else can heal it.
Why do I hunger for more of his love? Why does
his number not connect -- Yes, I wonder.
The days pass so fast, the months, soon a year!
Why can't we just slow it down without fear?
The peaceful summer moments spent, seem like a
dream -- twas heaven sent!
He's opened me up to a world so brand new -- the
books and his music to name but a few.
All that I hope for is only to stay at least his
best friend, I hope, yes, I pray.
All my love,
Kathleen

For Dennis ...
Only moments ago he was here sharing my love, so very
near. I still feel his presence though he's gone away,
because in my heart forever he'll stay.
When I tell him "I love you" every word is true; and
yes it scares me half to death but I only stop to catch my
breath.
Even though my life's mixed up he shakes me down and
builds me up. My ways he seems to understand and truth he
speaks without demands. As his words come clearly across,
suddenly I feel not lost.
The words to follow are very real to tell him what it
is I feel:
By Helen Reddy ( edited by KH for DG )
"To wake up next to you, to see your smile across
the pillow as the sun breaks through. In the early
hours when the day is new. To lie by you - that is all
I'll ever need.
To feel you everywhere. To know and keep the
silent secrets we as lovers share.
You fill my world with wonder just by being there.
To know you care - that's all I'll ever need.
Holding you, the world beyond me seems to fly.
The love is realized when I look in your eyes.
To lie down next to you -- to know the meaning of
the 'little things' you say and do.
In the gentle hours when the day is through -
alone with you. That is all I'll ever need."
