There is a woman... very attractive... very sweet... who would be my safety net if I fall.
I find my thoughts drifting towards wondering what it would be like to go to dinner with her... have her treat me nicely ... happy to be spending time with me.
Denver,
Vulnerable people make vulnerable relationships...
I am sure you have heard that before...
When my H dropped the 2007 bomb, a man revealed his feelings to me...
I could have jumped at it...
We were close, he lived near my family, he was offering me a brand new start to the life that I had missed, in a place that I missed, near people that I missed for twenty years...
People, place, and a life that I had been removed from against my will and moved halfway across the country...
Where I had, for twenty years, longed to be. I thought...
Until the opportunity was there, staring me in the face.
I have never spoken to that man again. I lost a very good friend...
Because he would have been my "safety net".
It would have been sooooo easy...
and ultra unfair to him and to myself...
Two and a half years later, real love came into my life again. When I wasn't looking...
There it was...
In a place I never would have imagined myself, where I know no one...
And it is everything that I could possibly want...
That wouldn't have happened if I had used that safety net...
