He wrote 2 emails to his ex, Act III but the third, he sent Just to vent, to type out feelings and frustrations on the keyboard was enough. He didn't send them... It was best, he thought What was the sense, anyway She doesn't want to be with him. He tries to move on... He was thankful to God thankful that the Lord had provided him emotional support Someone, someones, something to look forward to Possibilities can always lead to Probabilities in life there are few certainties... He let the last of the last bunch slip into silence He wasn't going to just use her for sex It wasn't, isn't right. So, 3 Three new possibilities One, Just, but not only her name was... interesting, an interesting coincidence to the name of his book Interesting, she has a friend in Texas Interesting she lived in America for 8 years And attractive, very attractive out of his league perhaps, but if people fill the needs of another it can work. At first, at first his impression was bad she seemed too American the girl didn't know who to be Does he want a Czech that acts like an American or what... Who is she supposed to be? They, both freshly out of broken relationships and a strange, unusual week they both had in that concern and in common it could be good, it could be best who knows and all the rest Two A completely blonde, errr blind date She didn't send her picture Actually he knew almost nothing about her prior to the meeting She changed the day of their meeting, the date then he showed up and she wasn't there said she was on her way back to Prague that yes she wants to meet, 2 hours later and in a different place He thought back... she doesnt know how to use a computer? to send a photo? Hmmm, strange Then, two changes of place and time He thought, seriously thought it was his ex, playing some trick on him some game. She knew he had been trying to meet someone new from the net He waited at the coffee shop he had set again, she wasnt there an SMS and she returned, she was down the hall at "Holmes" Place Sherlock Holmes... Ironic So there she was and it was a pleasant surprise she was beautiful Out of his league both of these two were, are maybe He liked the almost blatant honesty of her and questions The interview, the interview for a lover, partner and friend She asked if he would move to a different country They tried to figure out where they would live Strange, but true, it happens in the first hour Of a first date, cross cultural, international love interview Money, Cleverly asking how much he charges for an English lesson Saying her friend, is thinking about taking lessons. Then later, not to be obvious, asks how many lessons he teaches, slyly slipping in the question, trying to know roughly how much money he makes Three, She is sick, or has said she is and has been sick for 3 weeks Passing, expanding emails. Tak... So, so we... and he wait for the next chapter the next tale the new development in life It ain't easy, we are not commodities life and love are no bargain sale Attraction, there must be attraction, chemistry, a need for each other Interest, there must be common interests Communication, there must be honest open communication and with a common language Tolerance, there must be tolerance for each other's behavior and flaws, to work out problems healthily Trust, there must be trust and openness with each other's lives Understanding, there must be kindness, common goals and desires in life Love, "the greatest of all these, is love" Love: it happens in an instant, it can happen fast it can build slowly, as we grow and learn from our past, work at it, have patience, make it last. It takes all these things and more It takes friendship. It takes a common zest, zeal and love for life to want to have it, live it, and share it with someone. We all hope, and pray that someone, some day, will turn and say... "I want to share it, live it, and love it... with you." |
