Fine, never loved like that before, will never love like that again. Welcome to life. All loves are different, and every time (hopefully relatively few) is different. Not better or worse. Just different. And every time you'll be convinced (if you're healthy) it's the best.

Like when I thought there was a frequently-used Yorkshire phrase, "daft apeth", that referred to some kind of olde worlde ape. Or maybe it was a deliberate reference to Godliness. Or just one of those little brain slips, where your mind slides sideways for a moment and returns before you have a chance to notice.<br /><br />One thing which frequently annoys me is when someone points a delighted finger at the "spelling mistake" of another, when it's quite clearly a typo - which is a different thign altogether.Beleaguered Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13699493386984083561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971077270766122919.post-52964191892326536462009-08-10T13:21:52.890+01:002009-08-10T13:21:52.890+01:00"What’s praying on my mind now is the fact th..."What’s praying on my mind now is the fact that I loved her more than I’ve ever loved before and I’m afraid I’ll never be able to do that again, for fear of doing it wrong, for fear of loving the wrong person."<br /><br />Welcome to my world.

Why? <br /><br />The actual bit about you didn't come off too badly, except the odd belief that most of your blog readers are ugly men. Don't suppose you'll sell many books from it though.
