Reply #130: Once upon a time. [View All]

[Iniquitous Bunny]

There were two people at the end of two long bad marriages who met online. They fell in love yet their affair consisted of little more than letters and phone calls. It was a mess of confusion for both that lasted almost two years, but they didn't say much because it was private. Their marriages ended. One of the parties got tired of waiting and was hurt. This person fell in love with someone else on the eve of when, once and for all, the second party was ready to throw caution to the wind and give in fully to this love. Eventually this person realized how much they were hurting the person they had once loved and did what it took to LEAVE. This person was happy enough not to hurt someone else by continually throwing happiness in the face of someone whom was a decent human being.

The person who had been hurt was able to move on and fall in love again as well and because both parties took care to be as sensible as possible with the hearts of the person they once cared so deeply for, the can now remain dear friends. No, they weren't perfect and yes, there was pain, but the good they see in one another that they fell in love with isn't gone, just in a different form. It isn't blown up like a painful explosion for everyone to see, but an understanding of a time that brought them a knowledge of possibilities only to be realized later with someone else more compatible.

I wish everyone peace here. Take care of your hearts and the hearts of all those that have ever meant something to you.
