I am a coward

I wish I wasn't.

I can't imagine living my entire life alone - it seems impossible.  But then, so does growing old, and I'd prefer going old to the alternative.

But the idea of being alone, all day, with brief interludes when someone asks me to do something at work, with only my television and whatever robot voice-activated gadget I own in future - that just makes me shrivel up inside.

At least, no matter how pathetic my human relationships may be, I can always get a pet.  Crazy cat lady...here I come?

Nope

Not had easily...not had at all...there must be a difference, yes?

Who is he?

I don't know where shy ends and coy begins, nor do I know where coy ends and shy begins.  I do know that a shy smile, hiding and revealing so much all in one, is where the first heartbeat thumps and the dreams begin.

But once we begin to dream, then coy comes into play, and therein the danger lies.  Still, anything worth having isn't had easily.
