Two years ago, I fell in love... he was charming and ideal. "Who wouldn't want him?" I thought!
I remember it like it was just yesterday. I was standing by the bar, nursing my drink... he approached me and called me by name. Surprised, I replied, "Yes, that's me. Who are you?" he introduced himself to me and said, "we have a mutual friend in common and I saw your Facebook profile." Embarrassed he said, "I wasn't stalking you, but I cannot forget your face."
We exchanged numbers that night and contacted each other periodically. We always made plans to see each other... and how I enjoyed it when I saw him. While we were still strangers, we quickly learned that we had a lot in common. I loved when he complimented me and I enjoyed his embraces.
We spent a great deal of time together. I was ready to elevate whatever it was that we were developing to the next level.
Try to imagine my heartache when I saw him embracing someone else. Instantly, my heart cracked and shattered like glass. I saw him in the reflection of the mirror in front of me. He must have felt my eyes piercing his soul. he looked in the mirror to see my reflection there. I quickly wiped away silent tears. He approached me and asked if I was okay. Hastily, I composed myself, and said that all was well... He whispers in my ear, I am sorry if I hurt you....but I love him and I wish to see where this goes.
Very dignified, I said, "I wish you the best... and hope that you find that which you are searching for."
That night, I deleted him from my Facebook, and from my life.
I avoided contact with him... even though his friends have reached out to me. They see me in familiar places and approach me, to tell me all about him...
It has been one year, and I miss him so... He still haunts my memories.
