kiss of inspiration

Yesterday I mentioned Nereo and I at the park sitting, talking and taking in the view. We had a deep conversation about love. We both witnesses something so moving that it has yet to leave my mind. We where sitting on a bench on the bluffs talking about the river and other things, and at the bluffs, people are always working out since it's such a wonderful view and a great place to run. Well we saw an elderly couple walking and I was commenting on the lady's hair and how it was purple. We where watching them get into the car and the old man opened up the door for the lady and closed it behind her and then he went around got in and they left. I told Nereo at that instant, that's what I want. I want to truly fall in love. I don't want to settle for any old joe, I want to find my true love. I'm not a person to rush for the L word or even into situations that would leave me vulnerable to catch the fever. I always say I have my eye out for some one, but I'm a big game talker. I've seen what rushing into things turns into and you get my parents, two people who really didn't truly know each other but took the dive anyways. It hasn't been roses but yet they made me and my brothers and yet to split. I admire their commitment and how they've made it work but I want something more natural. A couple I look at that always amazes me is a teacher that has became a friend. Her and her husband are really in love and I can see it. I can't wait to see who will make my heart beat faster and slower at the same time, that special someone that just hearing his name makes me skip a breath, all those cheesy things you hear about love. I can't wait, but can. No rush. Update on my list, I started journaling and I have not sworn or eaten meat today, great start and I'm excited. Probably going to read right now waiting for Nereo to come over so we can get this other business done. But until tomorrow... zebra hotpants.

  1. I feel you on this. The guy I almost married, we were that old couple. I never felt anything like I felt for him. It was and still is so true and pure. We were just young and stupid and ended it without ever thinking the other wanted to get it back. I never put myself in a state where I would be vulnerable. Jesse was my first exception. We had fun, but we are just different. You will find it Rachel. I had it and here I am 5 yrs later still wondering. I hope you find true and pure love. I am working on getting mine back. I love you!
