room for you and your bed.

Still, you rushed yourself

home, wih this woman in your head.

And as you get settled,

you see that you have missed her call.

Hello.

You call back.

She says that she has just

arrived at her own home

and will not be seeing you tonight.

Now at that moment,

given the circumstances,

how would you feel?

Now, let's say that in life you

are not chronically lonely...

...but the vast majority of

your days and nights are spent alone.

All the same usually,

because you are very busy.

Busy with finishing

your education...

...so that you can

finish knowing who you are,

so that you can finish

with those years in life

during which you have

no clear answer

to the question...

"What do you do?"

Generally speaking,

with a few notable exceptions,

those that desire your company

do not interest you in a

way that would provoke you

to set aside time

to engage them.

Those that do interest y,

those for whom you would manufacture time,

do not live in your vicinity,

or do not seem so interested

in you as you in them.

And let's say that a womn who

you are presently in love with

has decided to enter an

exclusive romantic relationship

with someone

who provides for her

the stability and maturity

that you cannot.

You marvel at the contradiction

between the intensity

of your love for her

and your in ability to accurately

express this same love.

You wonder aloud

when you will grow diffet

and occasionally

allow yourself to wallow

in this gingerly

debilitating self-doubt.

Now, let's say

that at this very moment,

you were introduced to this

young lady by a mutual friend.

You quickly crafted a ren

to work closely with her.

You collaborated

on designs for T-shirts.

You became good friends,

real friends with inside

jokes and clear recollection

of the intricacies of each other's

body odor even when apart.

You were, from the very moment

you laid your eyes inside her eyes,

intensely attracted to her.

You don't have much self-control and

you acted clearly on this attraction.

Let's say that for a good while,

she entertained your flirtatious advances

with the timbre and grace of someone

with mutual romantic feelings.

Let's say that this went on for

between four to eight week,

and during this time facilitated

a concrete attachment,

grounded in a sincere care for this

young lady's wellbeing and peace of min.

This care and concern,

possibly one-sided,

but at the least entertad

by her words and actions,

went unchecked and

flourished in a direction

clearly departing the platonc

in pursuit of the romantic.

One evening,

maybe not at the height

of the aforementioned
