One

So there are these moments in life. No, scratch that, I'm not talking about moments I'm talking about women. And there are these women that have appeared in my life that have had the ability to change everything. The day they showed up I saw them and I knew, "things are never going to be the same."

Look I get it. It is a tired cliche. A woman shows up, love at first sight, I kick my heels up over my head or vice versa...amor.

Twice I've declared, both to myself and to these two women, that they were the One for me. But being in love with someone does not make them love you back. So I guess I've got a scar. Now I hold that initial reaction down, stifling it until the road has been widened to two lanes, one for her and one for me. I guess I just hope my reaction to the scar isn't an overreaction, that keeps me from seeing when her road has been opened.
