Let's see what I can share here...
Well, I have had quite a few crushes, all of them, I feel kind of... ahem, not so deserving and that's an entirely different story!
I have had my own share of heart-break... how it feels when the person you really love ends up calling ya one fine day & says... "It's over!" It makes me wonder if that person ever loved me back... Oh that unrequited love, how painful it is!
And now after three years, I am like... what the heck! Me gonna have fun... Me ain't sittin' here wallowin' in self-pity!
Ok folks sorry for this digression...
Anyway, as Tennyson said, 'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
And, here's the story...
Ours was a long distance relationship... He lived around 4 hours drive away from where I lived... That was only for the first two months of our relationship and then I ended up moving to a place further north (well, hez from southern U.S). When we met for the first time, I was still in South and he drove to my place for a long weekend... He stayed in our city for the whole weekend and boy, didn't I have a good time!!!
He checked into his motel on a Friday night and we were supposed to meet on Saturday morning... Impatient as we were, we couldn't wait till Saturday and so we were like, "Let's meet now!!!" It was 11:30 PM and my roommates were like "You crazy???" Anyhoo... we did meet... and the first thing he did was... "I got you this..." It was a box of Godiva chocolates! (I remember telling him once that I really like them) It felt really good to know that he does pay attention to whatever I say! And we had a real nice time walking around our university campus!
One day, we went to this Mexican restaurant and you guys know how irresistible the corn chips are! <Yumm!!!> And, I had this reputation among my friends that if I go to a Mexican Restaurant, I will never ever finish my entree! And he was privy to that knowledge too! (Imagine what hours and hours of phone talk can do to you!) So, we were chatting... and I was munching one chip at a time, not noticing that I had already finished half the basket 😊 He watched and watched... and Lo... he was like "That's it... " He took the basket and placed it on the other side of the table making it difficult for me to reach it... But, I wouldn't give up, would I? 😳 So, I got up just so I could reach it... and he was like... "No, you're not doing that..." And he grabbed the basket before I could get to it and put it on the other table. I had to give in 😊
Then he explained to me that he wanted me to finish my entree... Well, it kind of felt nice... Some people may think it was not so nice, I mean for him to *deprive* me of my chips 😃. But to me it did feel nice!
What I liked most about him was... he was a very good listener and he remembered every tiny little thing I had to say...
Sorry for such a huge post!!! And, thanks for letting me share my heart 😊😊😊
