In a 3 part series of articles, entitled “For The Love Of A Lady”, I have been writing a story about a woman I have been dating. In part 1, I reproduced a heartfelt letter after she had called off the relationship, then in part 2, I discussed my fears and the opinions of friends. And now in part 3, I reveal her answer, after an unbearable 10 days of silence…
It was difficult but with the help of friends, I refrained from trying to communicate with her in anyway. One day, I received an unexpected call from her.
“Hi Gina, How are you? Are you ok?”
“Better now lady, that I hear your voice. I was afraid I’d lost you, that is why I just had to send that letter, I didn’t want to pressure you, but I had to let you know how I feel!” I was fearful but tried to keep my composure as we chatted on the phone.
“ Gina, I had to have time to think about everything and I thought the letter was very romantic. But I just felt like we were moving way too fast. You were making plans for me to move down and find a place for us I agreed with the plan because I wanted it , too. Then when it became more of a reality…I figured out that I only agreed because, I got caught up in all the plans and then realized that I just wasn’t ready. So if you were sincere in your letter and think, we can begin seeing each other again and slowing things down. Then yes I really want to see you again, because I really do think I could fall in love with you.”
So about 9 weeks after our call, we began dating again and seeing each other once or twice a month, but this time with less pressure and more focus on just enjoying the moment. The time has gone by so quickly between stories that I now fast forward…to the conclusion…
Believe it or not Gir(L)’s…We are now picking up this story a year later, because as life unfolds, you can sometimes discover hidden treasures, you never knew existed. Throughout this year we have managed to build quite a unique relationship, albeit that it is still taking place via long distance. Together over this period of time we have had many conversations about love, life and challenges and along the way have created some incredible memories.
Though from time to time, I can’t help but inquire, “ Don’t you want more? It’s been a year and we’ve stayed where we are for one reason or another, but mostly our jobs. Both doing what we needed to do to make a living but not a life together. Lady, I am in love with you and I want to build a life with you!”
“Gina, I am happy with the way things are, right now…I know that you want more. I do love you, but because of my past, I am not sure that I will ever be ready for the kind of commitment you want? I do want you to know that I enjoy every moment that we share together whether it is night out on the town or at home wrapped in each other’s arms? You are an extraordinary woman and have opened my eyes and my heart to the unlimited possibilities of love and life.”
Though her every word was like a knife to my heart ,suddenly I managed to find a resolution from within that took me quite by surprise. “Is what I have with this lady enough to sustain my heart and my belief about what a life in love should be?” I know that I have never met a more perfect match, and she gives me unconditional love and support. So much so that it fills my very soul with such love that it encompasses my dreams. “Perhaps, this is what fate had in store for me?” Suddenly, it no longer mattered the distance, the possible loss, or the challenges; for I had all I ever dreamed and it was more then most people experience in a lifetime. I could no more stop seeing her then I could stop breathing. There are reasons things happen the way they do, so we both made the decision to continue this journey holding each other’s hand as we each make our own discoveries about a life in love with one another…
So in reality this story between my lady and I is far from over. It is just a beginning … I was not willing to let the love of my life slip away, because of my own desires or preconceived ideas about what being in love is suppose to be?”
