The next morning I prepared for our "meeting". We were going to have lunch in the afternoon before she went back home. I had to ask her about the whole "gypsy" thing. I wanted to come to some sort of compromise - and honestly, if there wasn't a compromise, we were fooling ourselves. So I do the conversation back and forth in my head and it forces me to really re-evaluate everything. In fact, this should be an entire entry or even two by itself. Fuck it - I won't hide this in these locekd entries - suffice to say in trying to prove my side, I ended up redefining my side. It was a pretty exciting moment (see next entry).
 
So the lunch at CPK was very exciting - I told her all this stuff and was in a great mood. She really wanted to see The Trinitrons so we went back to my place before she had to go...ho...m..e....
 
It seemed innocent people. But it never fails. We're a foot in the door and we attack each other. I just can't get CLOSE enough to her. It's the greatest feeling and completely mutual. So we had an amazing couple of hours that flew by and there were some incredible moments. She asked me if I loved her while we were embracing and it almost made me cry. The reason is strange. I looked in her eyes and it felt like she NEEDED to hear me say it. That touched me. Fuck the almost - I teared up bad. It's that overwhelming feeling that she needs me and is almost afraid to let me know how bad she does. And then of course the moment came and she said point-blank, unabashedly: "I love you". She said she knew it was so soon, but there were no other words. She felt it completely. She was absolutely scared to say it because of what it meant.
 
Whew. The moment wasn't ruined by me defining what it meant, I just tried my best to enjoy the closeness I felt. It was another beautiful day as we said before - it just keeps getting more intense.
 
I drove in the slow lane on the freeway on my way back to drop her off. Not even sure if she noticed. LOL. She hugged me and knew this was the moment of no return. She knew her feellings, she knew she was going to be telling her husband and she even called me when she got in her car. Reassuring me again. And here we are...
 
In my heart of hearts I can only hope. My brain has told me all along that this would end like Palaur, but this sure moved a lot faster than Palaur did. She seems much stronger, much more mature, and really sees the potential in a real relationship - not a superficial one. But time will tell. I mean if it all blows up in my face I really only gave this what, 2 weeks? An exasperating 2 weeks, but 2 weeks nonetheless.
 
The fact that she called me when she was in the car to re-assure me gives me hope that she gets this. We're not gonna contact each other during this time (sound familiar Palaur fans?) and it's now up to her...
 
...but you know I had to at least write a song to try and communicate. COME ON. Heh. I can't let it go that easy. And Shizzle, damn dawg let a brotha sing! Heh. He's such a show-off. I'm convinced he knows he's being filmed.
