Looking Back
Eight months ago, I would have never thought that I would meet someone that could shake my core and just change my life. I thought the last man I was with, Joe, did that for me. Apparently he did not.It was RIch that showed me a wealth of unconditional love, affection, kindness, faithfulness and loyalty and friendship that I never had in any of my relationships. Well, some did but they were not in great amounts.
Joe looked so great on paper. He graduated from Cal. He was an engineer with Lockheed-Martin. He was Catholic. He was Filipino. He was athletic. He was great in bed. He made me laugh. We could talk for hours on different things.
But, good on paper could go so far. I'm not sure why I did what I did that broke us up. It tore me up for such a long time. What remains between the two of us is a very hollow shell. Nothing really there anymore.
Now I have something that is sure, that is substancial, that is real. Something that beats good on paper hands down.
