LaineyDee,
Well, it's true.
My first love, you know, the intense one, and I used to spend all our time in the woods, slipping down waterfalls, climbing hills, all that stuff.
We did the movie and dinner thing a few times, but my best memories are running from that bad boy in the woods. Boy, did I get into all kinds of trouble with him.
And I swear, if he came within, say, four states of me today I would be like a doe during the annual rut.
Good thing for me (and him) he lives way out west and I live in the eastern U.S.
Some of these Freeper guys get it, but of course if you spent your life on concrete you'd have no clue.
My bird dog is begging for some attention now, I really need to go, it's getting deep on this thread.
There's a hoot owl calling me, it is dusk, and I'm going to run my little birdog gal through the woods a while.
I truly want your opinion on this. I thought I was the only human who noticed this stuff.
It just hit my funnybone. Yes.....I understand. I spent half my life on concrete...and the other half in my woods here. I've had the experience you speak of..only in a different way. It was electric.. almost like an old movie. You know....eyes locking from across the room....no words exchanged because you "knew" what the other was feeling. It thrilled me..yet scared me too. I've never experienced that since. :)
UNDERSTOOD
Oh, if I cross your path again
Who knows where or who knows when
On some mountain without number
On some highway without end
Don't grasp my hand and say
'Fate has brought you here today'
Oh, fate is only foolin' with us, friend
(Chorus:)
Keep your distance
Keep your distance
Oh, when I feel you close to me
What can I do but fall
Keep your distance
Keep your distance
Oh, with us it must be all or none at all
(Oh, with us it must be all or none at all)
Oh, it's a desperate game we play
Throw our souls, our lives, away
On wounds that can't be mended
And debts that can't be paid
Oh, I played, and I got stung
Now I'm biting back my tongue
And sweepin' out the footprints where I strayed
(Chorus)
Keep your distance (keep your distance, keep your distance)
Oh, keep your distance (keep your distance)
