because of my home life. My family hated him. They thought he felt too good for them. I gave in. I still think about him.at age 71. I love my husband, but Chris was my first love and I was forced to give him up for "family" I also love that song. Be at peace my friend. I love your song.and thank you for sharing. If you want to talk in private. Please DU mail me. love, debbie.
