Sometimes it seems like we're all in some kind of prison...
And the crime is how much we hate ourselves.
It's good to ge dressed up once in a while and admit the truth...
That when you really look closely...
People are so strange and so complicated...
That they're actually beautiful...
Possibly even me.

Next.... After the loss(to God I suppose) of my then gf. I refused to date for a year. After a year had passed, I was reading some newsgroup and saw someone who was from Utah. Livng there at the time, I shot her an email & we began correspondence. We kept in touch for three months and finally decided to meet at the Lady Elizabethan tea house in downtown Salt Lake. I still remember arriving on time & sitting facing the front window. It rained that day and I saw a flash of platinum dash across South Temple. She, huffing for breath, shook my hand limply and ordered peppermin loose tea. We began talking and after a couple of hours, she said "I don't want to be done talking to you. Would you like to come to my house for a while?" I nodded, paid and we left. It took geologic amounts of time together for us to begin.
Another rainy afternoon, I had helped her family around the house to spend time with her. We were sitting on her couch and I noticed that today, right now, she was leaning on me. Her parents sat across from us and as they finally got the hint, exited the room. I felt her shake as they left. I brought her close to me and kissed her for a second, maybe two. She gripped me close and began to cry, she shook and cried in my arms from trepidation. She was a year older than me and I was her first kiss.
We stayed together for four years. It's been argued that I should have never left & We should have never parted. I beg to differ, many factors made me unhappy in this relationship. Her lack of public schooling of any kind left it to me to handle almost any social situation beyond a phone call or shopping transaction. I loved her though while were together. Our height difference made people wonder; I am 6'8", she's 5'0'. We were happy for a long time. Then I began to realize that we would never marry. With that realization, things began to stagnate......
Sorry that was so long, it is still my longest relationship at 4 yrs. Shout Soon.
