A Matter of Choice

In honour of Valentintes day, Jen at the King and Eye has given a love theme to this week's Blog Gems. Blog Gems is a chance to air your archives and share older posts with new readers. It's a fortnightly link up where you get to dig out an old post related to the prompt.  As today is Valentines, and my parents have been out in Cyprus for the last week I decided to share a post from last year, about how I learnt about love by example.......

Should I say and let you know or should I let these feelings grow, inside my heart so secretly  and hope one day you'll fall for me .
