		<description>I only do this in my soliloquy. 

However some people do not know the idea of privacy.

Nor do they know the nuances, the heart, the soul of my reveries.

Do I let these things shackle my need, my longing for self-communion?

No. I veered away from it for far too long. &lt;i&gt;I ignored my muse for far too long, I am no longer sure it&#039;s still willing to accompany me in this journey and more.&lt;/i&gt;

Writing&#039;s the only avenue thru which I can effectively process my thoughts, my emotions.. the budding feelings, the vapid confusion.

I&#039;ve long known that it&#039;s my most effective line to the One Beyond.

I write my thoughts, my feelings, my being when i need to draw closer within, to the seat of my soul. That&#039;s where I get the answers, that&#039;s where i get the peace...  Well then, that&#039;s where I should go.

I&#039;ve long sacrificed this mode of soliloquy on account of privacy. 

Out of fear? Maybe. Maybe I kept the self-confessions even from myself because I wanted to protect the things I valued.

... and maybe that very same motivation is what has convinced me to be free to write again.

&lt;i&gt; if i am the one who draws all these bad characters in, then i write - be free of me. &lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>I think I&#039;ve always told people things.. confessed.. told them I liked them before I even really began to. (Destroyed things before they could happen). ...I live in fear of this sort of thing happening, so I confess, I say the things.
It seems to backfire sometimes anyway. But at least now I&#039;m finding people who maybe appreciate me for it.</description>

		<description>Say, or do not say. There is no hint. 

What is a &quot;hint&quot; to one person is a meaningless remark to another.</description>

		<description>The confessions go right over my head. It seems I only understand the almost-confessions at times.</description>

		<description>he left her just enough / so she could never find him

... interesting, this has more than one possible interpretation. 

1. [left her just enough]: He went away, physically, but left behind enough of his possessions (physical and/or emotional) to prevent her from going out and finding him.

2. [left her] just enough: He remained there physically, but he became distant emotionally, thus &quot;leaving her&quot; to a certain degree, just enough that she could never fully find out who he was.

Not sure which makes more sense, if either makes sense at all... or if there&#039;s a third interpretation that&#039;s more logical.</description>

		<description>Cue up &#039;Nature Trails&#039; (ComSat Angels)...

&#039;Open the door, and look inside,
It&#039;s as you left it, but not quite right.
The fading sense says something&#039;s wrong.
Someone has been here, someone has gone...

Nature trails, where she leads
Like a pet at her feet,
Don&#039;t be sad, you&#039;ll be set free tomorrow...&#039;</description>

		<description>I can only drop hints; my mind moves too quickly to allow my mouth to finish speaking.  I think her infinite patience ran out.</description>
