Jul. 7th, 2015 04:22 pmIt happened.
For the first time in my life, I was madly in love and I was turned down.
It’s not that I never had unrequited love before. Of course I did. But part of it was that I never spoke of my feelings. So, the rejection happened mostly by virtue of them remaining unknown and slowly wilting into oblivion.
This time, my passion was well known. And the answer was a firm and final ‘no’. With many other harsh words in its wake which I would not recite here as they are of little relevance.
To be fair, I was given an alternative, a salve for the broken heart. I actually intend to use it.
And then, far down the road, maybe we’ll see how final that ‘no’ was.
