First things first: The love poem is evocative and stirring, all the
gender bias we've grown up with goes right along with the whole story, so the gay surprise was well worked. As others have said, the heart wants what it wants. It's my belief there's no such thing as too much love in the world. :)

I know this pain you describe...and you described it very very well. Except the boy was mine...and she was my best friend. But love does what love wants. This was a truly exceptional poem

Love is a divine madness...
...sometimes, leaving hearts in it's wake. Truly tragic. You were kind to tell his story. Sorry, I've been absent, Mermaid....personal issues. I just started catching up on visiting other blogs last night....saving the best for last!

Oh Jen...you are so empathetic darling, you really got into the hurt and the pain of that love. I feel so bad for him and for his two friends, but didn't he know his best friend was straight? I think is selfish of the friends to want to keep him around, it must be so hard for him. I will pray for his peace of mind. Now between you and me ... I wonder how many of y our readers think you are Harvey :-) Take care of you sweet Mermaid
