Darlene,Darlene, Darlene...
My blogs usually refrain from the "blast from the past" syndrome.
It was funny how my best friends found out about the last time I spoke to her. It was right after the funeral of my brother that she called-- (sighing)
I could never understand why she would apologize for so many things that she did wrong and too me--and ALWAYS under bad circumstances. Oh, I'm not going to play victim in this situation...
I remember that I did one thing bad myself. I ripped into her really good (If I know you well enough I can do a decent job at pushing the right buttons--I used to be proud of it...,but afterwhile you do not have many friends.)
She invited me out for a meal with other friends that I lost touch with...we talked, laughed and all those overly used clitches you can come up with.
Of course I had to ask why she would ever come up with this stalker theory of hers.
Because I was quiet and stayed away from her--see here is the thing. While, most guys who have guile want to be with the lady 247--I run for the border. Its either that or I talk to much with the occasional stutter...or red in the face from embarrassement.
I was like what? I act the opposite of what you expect and come up with this?
I guess what surprised me the most was when she gave me her number--and wanted to have a night out again--she gave me her number.
After she left...I thought about it for about a week.
There was a letter that I had wanted to give her that I never did...later on at about 3 in the morning and I know because it rained that night. I--knew that I had nothing to lose or gain.
My life at times seems to be more lose than gain.
I told her all the things within my heart--it was an intense letter that I had written so many times to near perfection. I guess--confirming what she already knew.
I do remember wanting to cry. Cry because I felt guilty during my time of grief, cry because I had lost my brother, cry because how far did I have to go to lose it all? I thought may be I was having a breakdown because I could not feel anything inside me....I wanted to love someone--and I couldn't do it.
It takes a lot to admit when your wrong. She did that to some degree--but she took something from me--that I know that I will never, never, ever---get back. What love does to a man...
In this world no one can ever get what they want like the song goes.
I never heard from her again...I figuered--one good turn deserves another.
I mailed the letter--because I could never tell her in person what I really felt.
I hope next time, I can do that face to face when I have a chance again. ( With someone else of course..)
Seize the fish.
