Yesterday I asked my boyfriend to give me time to think cause I didnt know what I wanted out of life and that I wasnt sure about the relationship. First of all, he lives in Miami and I live in Puerto Rico which makes the relationship very hard. Still I love him dearly so as I think about the relationship... I know that it has to end because he wants to marry me in december 1998 and im only 21 years old!!!! I am freaking out this is my second relationship...anyway I think I love him but not as a boyfriend but as a friend...all my poems are about hate because i hate him, I dont know why but I do. Anyway If you want to give me some advise on this subject email me if u want. I think I`m loosing my mind over this... Later guys... Christie------The Flowerchild Angel P.S.

When I put together the digest I looked on the internet to find something to put into each digest to make it look neat/pretty/whatever. this is just what I put in there :) ************************************************** From: Carole Bellamy Subject: "Untitled" Date: Sun, 5 Apr 1998 Hi guys! (and gals of course!) This poem I am going to share with you is called Untitled. Mainly because I couldn't think of a title that suited it!:-) I wrote it about teens  these days. I myself, am only 22 y/o, so I can relate quite well to the confusion that tenns have to face. Anyway, I guess, all I can say is just  read it. :-) It's short (almost all of mine are!)... UNTITLED by Shannon Bellamy They try to be something they're not Cover their emotions in make up And hide their bodies in clothes Forcing others to look through them Not deep in their souls Most of them are honest people Craving the attention they deserve If only they realized what they're         doing to themselves For it is they who are being hurt. I just want to let every poet out there who has shown us some of your inner thoughts, you are all really good. I love reading others' writing, so I hope there will be lots more to come!:-) Shannon the bleeding hearted angel xoxxo ************************************************** From: "* Jewel *" Subject: *~Poems~* Date: Sun, 05 Apr 1998 Heart On Wings -------------- I sent you my heart on wings Maybe you didn't get it Maybe I flew it in the wrong direction Maybe I forgot to stamp it If you opened it you would see The empty space you've left in me That part of my heart That was so hard to touch You stole it from me And left my soul crushed Angel Take Me Away ------------------ Angel, my angel Take me now I can't go on much longer I don't know how I'll sit on your heavenly wings You can fly me away From all these things For which my heart must pay Fly me anywhere Just away from here My body, my world It's not where I belong Every move my heart makes Is always so wrong Angel, my angel Fly me away Never to return Upon your wings to stay... ------ Thats all for now angels! Take care! Love Always, *~Kristen~* {{ThE aNgEl StAnDiNg By}} ************************************************** From: Angeljlb96 Subject: Just rambling thoughts Date: Mon, 6 Apr 1998 Hello angels... Lara, I wanted to tell you that I completely understand where you're coming from.  I've just gone through a rather similar situation myself. Do any of you ever wonder exactly how love just slips away?  I mean...how exactly can someone feel it one day, and have it fade the next? Too much time is spent analyzing love and life... people forget to feel it. They spend so much time trying to define it and figure out the purpose of it. Love (to me, anyway) is something that isn't developed....if you feel it, you feel it. Sorry....just thinking too much lately, I guess... Take care, everyone. Love, Jamie *the everyotherday angel* ~How can you do nothing and say I am doing my best...how can you take everything and come back for the rest~ Ani Difranco *******************************************************                     N O T I C E ! ! !
