I've been on my own for a few weeks now. I am sad but happy; and confused but sure of myself and the decision I had made to leave him. I was lonely but hoping that it wouldn't be for long. Then I met you. We weren't meeting for the first time, but it was so different than before. Nevertheless, there had always something about you that caught my attention. I don't know what exactly but I knew you were my "type" of guy (sounds cheesy I know). I wasn't looking to settle for someone again. I wanted to find someone I really wanted to be with, that I sincerely liked, and someone that would give me the same amount of love and trust that I gave to them. For some reason, I was sure from the very beginning that that person could be you.
You came into my life when I needed someone most, and you were so understanding. I knew it was kind of wrong how fast things were going or at least it felt that way at first, but it was so right and more real than anything I had experienced. Real in the sense that we talked about things that were actually important in a growing relationship. We put our feelings for each other right out in the open and made it clear what we wanted in a relationship. There was nothing to keep from you, and I didn't feel like I had to hide away and neither did you. We were 100% ourselves and it was perfect.
I don't see the week 12 here--the taking a risk in the writing. Or, rather, the only risk is that the topic has sent you back to the kind of vague writing you sometimes fall into. Just as an example: count the number of times you say thing, something, nothing in here. That's usually a sign of writing on autopilot. Make sense?
ReplyDeleteShould I try a rewrite and try and replace those words with more descriptive ones?
ReplyDeleteEarlier in the semester I would have pushed you for a rewrite, but you've shown me what you can do, convinced me!--so I'm not worried about any given individual piece. We all have stronger and weaker keyboard sessions.
