The Tomorrow of TWO

Blinded by his beauty and my judgement impaired by the instantaneous infatuation of what lay before me. Trail of thought lost as my eyes follow his every movement, mapping his curves, creases and linear path. I know nothing about him, naive to his past, curious of his future and unaware of his present. Unaverred, I don't care as I am mesmerized by him.

I picture myself with him. He and I, us. I want to make him mine. That was then, this is now. "Why not?" I asked him as he replied with a NO! We've been at this cat and mouse game for some time now - I've showed him my interest and I know that he feels the same. So, I ask him again, "Why NOT?" But this time, I take he's hand and stare into his honey brown eyes. As if he was putting, he's foot down, trying to get the reason(s) he would deny me the opportunity to love him and be loved by him. He replies again, "I just can't. I just can't."

Months of conversing about each other and what we want in a mate, as if we were slowing ticking a to-do list until we were certain of choice we had made long ago. My choice, his choice - we chose each other. "Has he not completed his list?" I ponder as I try to loosen my tight grip on what I thought was. What I thought we both had. Nothing sucks more than being so close and then being advised of how delusional you had been a long. I know that wasn't true, but it started to feel like it. I burned like the amber of a never-ending flame for him. I loved him. I hadn't known, been sure, until that moment as he pushed me over the cliff, to my demise. Heartache followed and I LET GO, but I never truly did. I just couldn't be a part of his life feeling the way I did, the way I still feel. How did I end up allowing myself to feel such, when I always approach with such caution? I wasn't myself and that's all I could think as my mind attempted to blocked out all that had transpired, all that was said and all that was imagined for the tomorrow of two.

We often find potential mates as we navigate through life, blinded by lust, the idea of this person and the future we may have.

Crazy, Stupid : LOVE

Last month, after months (actually almost a year) of persuasion, someone who had always wanted to call myself his, finally twisted my arm and I said “Yes”. The thing is, after my last relationship last year; I told myself that I would take a back seat from the dating world. Every relationship I partook in, ended up being either a total disaster, me being hurt or just losing interest. People have a tendency of portraying a “perfect” and poised persona when they meet a potential mate. “Why?” you may ask, I am not sure, but I would assume that it plays in their favour, as we always create these lists for ourselves of the perfect mate: ·          Perfect smile, ·          Perfect and fair complexion (apparently the most desired), ·          An amazing dresser, ·          And a man with money and a provider.

Killing Time

I never understood why people put so much time and energy into the mission that is, SEX, until some time last year. As I look back to the experience that was, I find myself thinking about the first time I climaxed. My first sexual experience on my grandmother's leather couch; I was watching cartoons, bored stiff - more like flaccid. My left hand found its way down my pants and started stroking my limp, thick scarfed penis, in the hopes that this would occupy my time. It arose in all its might. I remembered my friend Steve making these funny gestures with his right hand, in a motion alien to me. A motion he so happily expressed when he thought our male friends "Kray". So in the moment, I thought, I should explore this phenomenon and see what it was all about. I stood up and made sure the front door was locked. I lowered my shorts and underwear and continued "killing time". What happened next was unexpected. This meaningless motion which I undertook to occupy...
