A Moment in Time
I’ve lived a lucky life, full of magical romances with great people. Although they have all come to pass, and for good reason, they will always remain special to me in some way. This past weekend I was with an ex of mine who I met and dated, if you can call it that, sometime when I was around 12 years old. It was my first year of high school and I met her through a friend who went to one of the local schools – I decided to attend a school in a different city.
I don’t know that we ever even kissed but we spent so many endless nights on the phone, chatting about anything and nothing. If I can remember correctly, her phone number was 928-FISH and mine was 942-BODY, or dial 9-4-A-BODY as I used to say. Too bad I was 12 and didn’t have one that required advertising! Those years were important to me and so was that relationship. It was a moment in time when I felt totally passionate about someone and totally in love, despite the argument that you can’t really know what love is at that stage in the game. All that matters is that I feel something again with the intensity that I did back then. Even today I still search for it I my relationships. Maybe that’s why I’ve been single for as long as I have. Sometimes I wonder if it’s ridiculous to compare how I felt back then to how I feel now. But then I shake my head and come back to the fact that I still feel that way from time to time. It’s rare, but it happens. That’s sounds just like true love, doesn’t it? It doesn’t happen often but it does exist. I think I’m going to be single for quite a while and I’m okay with that. I’m searching for that moment in time that I experienced almost 20 years ago and it’s worth every second of the wait.
