Death Bed Regret List

the names of some of the people I mention have been changed so they dont look at me next time I see them and go "OMG, you wanted to do me?"

In random order.....

Henna: Oh how gorgeous was thine jaw line, Oh how cut was thine groin, Oh how devestatingly handsome.... I had it very bad for young Henna. He walked around like a normal human being completely oblivious to the fact I had built an enormous shrine in my heart for him that would shame the Taj Mahal.

One night at a party that involved the type of activities that left us all very "out of it" but there was soft drink to drink if you get my drift, Henna and I ended up in the bedroom of my good friend Jules. She walked in smiling with big black pupils, lit a candle, and shut the door.

Henna rubbed my back for hours while we talked about Africa, the Eyre Peninsula, skateboarding, life on mars.....all manner of subjects came through our lips. What I wanted to come through my lips was actually about a meter away from me but I just felt to inadequate to pluck up the courage to kiss his beautiful full lips and slip away into the land of unbridled passion for a couple of hours.

Agony I tell you. I was so grateful just to be so close that I didnt dare do anything that could possibly spoil what I had. If he had started up his own religion I WOULD HAVE BEEN A BELIEVER. I would have swam through a sea of glass if I knew he was waiting on the other side.

What is worst is that I heard through the grapevine a few years later that he was torn between me and another woman. Alas, I sure hung my head tha day. I WOULD HAVE HAPPILY SHARED!! In fact, we 3 could have been a couple! Then I heard that some guys have a regular piano, he owns a concerto grand capable of satisfying the whole auditorium!! I sigh as I type this...if only, if only, if only, became a mantra for a few years.

I guess I still may have a shot at it and if the opportunity came my way I would have to go hard so I could cross him off my D.B.R.L.
