"Love is selfless..."
Do you ever feel like one person can understand exactly what you're going through?
Lately, I've been spending most of my time online because living in reality gets especially dry this time of year. I'm usually a socialite but given that my priorities are in a mess, I can't yet sort my life out. I feel powerless and cocooned in a locked room with no window or way out, and strangely, I'm okay with that. I'm comfortable staying confined because of.. well, someone.
Feelings.. boy are they an obstacle when it comes to crossing the bridge over to the other side. I mean.. how can I let myself get blindsided by 'attraction'? I let my feelings towards a person grow, and before I know it, I've developed a severe dependency on him.
The bad?
This is virtual reality
The worse?
He has a boyfriend in real life
The worst?
I haven't seen how he really looks like (or I might have.. shrugs)
It's just... the things he'd said while we were on call (..this is Skype) made me feel understood, like he could relate to what I was going through. It was something along the lines of, "yeah.. if you could find a man who can take you away from 'it all', that's the best!" (I'm paraphrasing, of course). That's what I'm looking for.. someone who can rescue me from this accursed island I'm stranded on and live the rest of our lives together someplace else. He gets it.. he really does.
There is also a quality about him that sexually charges me, not to mention his personality is one that compliments all of mine, as mine does to his.
Too bad I'll only ever be his "boy toy" but interestingly enough, I'm contented with that label. Truth is.. love is selfless and despite what most of my ex might say or think of me, I don't HAVE to be with someone in order to achieve true happiness. As long as he leads a blissful life where I get to see him smile and hear him laugh every (or every other) day, I'll count myself lucky.
