Between You and Me

Walked into a 711 store with Gail one lunch time at the office, and I chanced upon one of ‘em Between You and Me Hallmark greeting cards which caught my attention. There were no fancy words nor metaphors used by the author, yet the message was clear and very honest. So I'm sharing it in this note because I know that a lot of ladies (including myself) can relate to these words by Linda Lee Elrod:

When it comes to love, I know I’m a hard case…
You and I will be going along just fine,
and then suddenly I’ll withdraw, leaving you wondering what you did.
Well, I want you to know it’s not you, it’s me!
Before you came along, I made it a point never to give too much of myself to anyone.
That way, if things went wrong, my heart was protected.
But there’s something about you that’s different.
I find myself wanting to be close, wanting to trust, and I’m really trying.
This is all new to me, and I’m bound to get scared
or make a mistake now and then.
I’m just hoping you’ll be patient with me,
Because I have a feeling that, with time,
we could have something pretty spectacular.

"...we could have something pretty spectacular." - Hmm, it would be so nice indeed to feel that way about someone, right ladies? :)
