Mirage or Epiphany
The last time we spoke, I was weighing out this long distance concept and trying to make sense of the entire situation. Nothing has change surprisingly except that after mentioning my reservations, he has really step up to the plate. I was at work this week and having a real bad day. Every thing was piling down on me and I felt like quitting. Feeling like this is an anomaly and rarely happens. Nevertheless, when it does I feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders. It is hard trying to balance motherhood, school, and work and keeping sane all in one hat. I do it though and it takes very hard work. That is one of the things I like about myself is my perseverance. Let us not get unfocused today...I was sitting at my desk pondering my life and decided to pick up the phone to call Lamaris. Of course, he answers the phone on the first ring, which always makes me blush. I proceed to tell him all the gory details of my day and Of course, he just listens intently. He never utters a word until I am through making a fool of myself. After I'm done he says" Now do you feel better" and I reply no. After I hang up with him, I am a little more furious then before. How can he not understand and try to comfort me? Well why I am sitting there fuming, I get an email. Of course, its one of the most erotic poems I have ever heard. Of course, it is personalized with my name. Now my anger has melted and other more personal emotions evolved. I was meaning to thank him but I had to go into a meeting. While in my meeting, someone delivers something in the front but I cannot see what it is. After my meeting, I see the most gorgeous bunch of wild flowers that I have ever seen. Besides that, I notice that they were delivered from Zimilich Florist. Therefore, the secretary, very meanly and with added jealousy, I might add says, “they are for you”. I excitedly grab the card and who are they from...Well of course Lamaris. I am so overwhelmed with joy. I immediately called him and mush over what happened. After I get off work though, my excitement starts to fade a little. This is because I know when I get home Lamaris will not be there. My computer, cell phone or another cute text message but no warm body to put with it. I understand your concept but I must face reality and ask myself seriously, is this feeling a mirage or is my relationship just an epiphany...?

Well, I think that a lot of relationships where you first meet in person seem to initially draw off of physical needs and wants. We see them, they see us, and the usual thoughts of physical love come to mind. Usually, in those intsances actually getting to know someone comes second hand and much later. But, I think that when you get to know someone first before your mind gets blurred by the physicality (I think I just made up a word), then you actually will have a more enduring relationship. I don't think that romance is dead in the cyber age, not for those who are actually looking for it. And, he sounds like a keeper- I have never had a guy send me flowers at work because I was having a bad day.
I commend you for being that strong woman that is working,raising a family,and attending grad school.You deserve to have someone in your life that you can have an adult conversation with.I don't think romance is dead for you, As a single mother myself, we have to learn to enjoy the friendship and allow ourselves to be admired and adored by the opposite sex.He sounds like a keeper,just embrace the frienship.
YOU GO GIRL!!!!
