Another time, another place.
It's been in interesting weekend. One that has been really quite fantastic, but may yet result in tears.
I met an amazing guy on Friday night. It was late, I was in two minds about meeting a stranger for a drink. I thought I really should just go to bed, but then I decided what the hell...
I'm glad I did. He is amazing. Korean. Educated. Speaks a decent amount of English (with a cross between a Korean and a French accent). Has lived in France and Switzerland. Just finished working with the national theatre company of Switzerland. Dancer. Gorgeous. Smiling. Laughing.
We stayed up until the sun rose, and we had to part to get ready for our respective days. Which for me was nothing, and for him was lunch with his sister. After he had done lunch, we met for coffee and dessert. We walked and chatted, and hung out for a few hours. Then I was called away for dinner and he had to go home to get ready for that night. We went out, some of my friends, so of his friends. We stayed dancing till the sun came up. Today, in the early evening, another quick meet. And the talk of meeting again tomorrow.
It's all been so wonderful.
Today he even started to say the sentence, that so much of me would love to hear, and yet so much of me wouldn't.
If my boyfriend and I ever break...
A sentence that was left unfinished. A sentence I told him should remain unfinished. He is wonderful, and he finds me wonderful.
His boyfriend flies in on Tuesday, and together they fly out to Taiwan for a holiday on Monday, and from there they are moving to Canada. I am so thankful for the time that we have had together. I am so thankful for the rekindling of hope of finding someone amazing out there. I think I am becoming quite devastated that yet again, it was not to be.
I can't believe that I have known him for only 48 hours or so. And yet...
I've never been a big believe in Love at first sight. And yet...
When hugging him good-bye earlier today, I could feel tears behind the eyes. I still don't know whether they were out of overwhelming happiness for that instant. Or out of sadness for the ever-closer final good-bye.
