By Chance...A Crush
It's a Lipton's morning and I'm enjoying it as the tea wakes my soul and touches places inside to let me know I'm alive...it's another great morning...cool with a slight breeze....but the air is brisk and fresh...so wonderful...
I'm sitting here going over my yesterday going ons...last evening I had a conversation with a friend...whom I hadn't heard from in a minute...and I'm thinking...Have you guys ever liked or had a crush on someone you knew or didn't know...and you never had the opportunity or failed to take advantage of an opportunity to tell them...yet still...you've always held that feeling or crush locked away but close to you...then you see the person over and over...or once every blue moon...and those feelings come out and erupt into a smile...but yet you still don't convey the feelings to them...
Now, just say...the person harbored the same feelings or crush and hid the same feelings away from you...by now...you guys are just kewl friends...and both of you date other people...but are cordial to each other each and every time you happen to see one another which is sparsely...It's interesting to note they never exchanged numbers, emails or personal info...
Dinner...
A group of friends and their significant others are invited to a dinner party...now the host doesn't know that you know one of the guest that's going to be there....but it's just by happenchance that the host knew that casual aquaintance of yours....real good...so hence...you and your date, casual "crush" friend and his date...among others show up...
Of course...being gay...and of the gentry class...as Cousin would say...means that alot of showboating...and grandstanding ---drama--- would be happening....about six couples were on time but the other six...had to make grand entrances meaning late...which of course included...my friend and his guest...the tension started pretty earlier...as the "casual" friend was the one to answer the doorbell and open the door for my friend and his date...
Just for a second imagine those initial moments when it registered to both of them that they were in the same place...at the same time...up close and personal in each other's face...those few moments felt like and eternity...the sparkling of the eyes (recognition), the exchange of warm smiles (appreciation for one another), and then the clincher....no handshake but a hug that seemed to be too close for a first time (the yearning of touch) --- all the signs were there in the clear but the danger lurked right on the side of my friend...imagine too, the look on my friend's date...as he took in all this...red flags started to raise...
The story continues...but I think you get the picture...Has this ever happened to you...maybe in a different place...setting but all the same it happened... let me know...
