His and Hers
So tell me, tooling through your teens, who was it that you thought you’d love forever?

I met a woman at work many years ago and became lost in her eyes. We instantly connected, even when we wasn’t working close to each other, we looked for each other. It was magical.

Susannah, surprisingly, my long term affairs were never assumed to last forever, at least not by me. It was a shorter term love that broke my heart. I saw a future that didn’t enter my head with any of the others. I never realized this until you asked the question.
Luckily I met my Pookie, also known as my prince charming.

Pookie, the fact you call him that, tells us everything Skinny. 🙂

Did you have a hankering for a dandy before John? HMM
LikeLike
Hankering? I don’t know. I dated several others before John. No! No! No! I’ll change my answer. I didn’t hanker for anyone after John, because I found him fine and dandy.

I love you gift of people watching and the posts that come from it. That love from my youth that I thought would be forever? Actually drawing a blank … but you have reminded me of some past loves that didn’t work out for whatever reason. Maybe I didn’t experience deep love at that age. Hmmmm … now I’m wondering.

Her name was Rosemary but we called her Rosie. I met her in my last teenage year and fell hard. She was dating a neighba-hood guy from Kensington but I was determined to change that. Alas, she used me and left me. Years later she expressed regret for not having gotten with me and it kinda broke my heart all over again.

It’s a shame not to be realized by someone you like. I’ve had it happen countless times only to see that, in many ways I dodged a bullet. However, when it’s happening it’s pain like no other.

Well yes, the rest of the story played out as it really should have. She was a great girl alright, and became a great woman. But I got together with her for coffee about ten years ago. Not for the purpose of rekindling since she was married and I did not wish to even entertain such a prospect with her.
We had become wholly different people. And I thought to myself that we had never been destined. It had simply been a romantic illusion borne of youth.

When we’re kids, there’s nothing to consider but that twinkle that goes down to your toes. Lust can be such a prankster. Then we mature into who we were really meant to be filleting us right down the middle. I do miss being hot and clueless, I have to say. Now I’m old and know just too damned much. sigh

Let’s see… when I was in high school, I crushed hard for my gym teacher. I was 16, he was 28… we joked around so much, people thought we had crossed the line – which we didn’t.
Then.
He used to tell the other gym rats (of which I was one) that one day he would live with me. The nerve. And yet, five years later, we met and well… It was like a fairy tale when you think of it. I moved in and soon realised my prince charming was more of a frog and I gave away my prime years for a whole lotta…. we’ll call them lessons…

I guess so. It always feel as if we know one another intimately then all of a sudden, somebody splits and you’re kinda hurt. I’ve had that happen numerous times. Had a woman who used to send me books and cards who doesn’t even read the blog anymore. I have to remind myself, I never really knew her. It was spectral at best. Cyber living can be confusing.
LikeLike
I think so. And I feel the same. I think it’s because we share our intimate thoughts so we’re more honest than in real life (i.e. face to face)
I remember you mentioning her. Could she have died? That’s the one thing about this world. We’re not on the notify list.
