For the past seven years I have traveled down many unpaved roads only to find dead ends. Blinded by love I leaped into a bottom less pit on the search for my soul mate. During my fall I found two likely candidates. Lover number one was great. I had never falling in love before. I had never been kissed before. I was the student and she was the teacher. It took me a while to allow myself to both receive and respect the love of another. Time passed and I became much like an young puppy eager to explore outside the yards fence. So that was the end of lover number one. Lover number two was a much differnt story. We had nothing in common at all. The thing about her was she took my mind off lover number one.The first year was a meir telephone conversation. She slowly became my world. I woke up thinking about her and went to bed early so that i could dream about her. I just knew she was the one. The one i would travel to the ends of the earth and back. There where times when i felt like that puppy looking through the fence wondering how it was on the other side but love or what ever you want to call had me tied.But like all good things lover number two just became another tally mark on the old failur board.Don't get me wrong there were many others but none who even came close to possessing my heart. So now I'm sitting here alone and thinking maybe I should have just stopped and asked for directions.
