VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Two Steps Back

I know it was
Astonishingly odd
For me to back out
Of your embrace;
The surprised questions
Blinking in your eyes
Marked your amazement--
But it was I
Who acted ill
This eve past,
Not you.
In the whirl
of the fleeing moments,
I had forgotten
Your expressed desire
For us to remain
As two,
Rather than come together
As one.
It was the all-too-sudden
Realization that I
Had broken my vow
To honor your disecting wishes
Which caused the
Controled retreat,
The two-step escape
From your all-too-pleasant embrace.
