i'm too tired to truly deal right now...
but, before i left my house on saturday evening...i received an email...
a heartfelt, heart driven email, from someone i dated 6 months ago.
no boy has ever brought me to tears over kind words, this was a first.
no, i wasn't like gasping for air crying - but a tear dropped down my cheek. i got a little choked and went to drink wine and eat cheese and polka.
today i responded to him.
i didn't know what to say.
i was on the receiving end of that email - you know that type of email - that a woman would write.
that kind of note that makes you think, evokes emotion and brings back a memory.
and the memory he brought back was this kiss.
it was summer. i packed a picnic, in the new picnic basket i got for my birthday, we saw a film at the sculpture park in my hood - right on the water and we had an amazing time.
it had perfect date written all over it.
he drove me home.
he looks like clark kent.
i didn't think brotha had it in him to kiss, but effing a - he done did it right.
and i guess i did too, as his email notes "our kiss was unforgettable, damn you."
it takes more than that to make me shed a drop of the water. it was the stuff he wrote in between, that i'm not gonna get into...
damn me... because i asked him to see la dolce vita with me, the week after the kiss, and i guess by that - he thought i meant - let's get married....
he must've had a panic attack or something. he wrote me an email about the kiss and it's terrifying and confusing impact on his being - and confirmed us friends.
random 'friend' emails followed, but we never saw eachother.
come to yesterday, this damn note about the kiss - followed by a let's get together.
i said i would see him.
and now i'm going to bed...
because i'm done with thinking for the weekend.
