And it begins
Published on April 20, 2006 By Adventure-Dude In Personal Relationships
It begins two nights before the 'day.' There is no knife nor sharp object. No this would make the pain easier. Even the use of a dull utensil would be more desired. There is no visible wound nor trace of blood. But the pain wrenches the whole body. The stomach turns and wreaks as it receives it's share of the pain. The back is rippled with pain as it slowly makes it's way around throughout the body. As the 'day' draws near the pain is more intense. The 'day' arrives. The focus is no longer on the day but the 'hour.' The sensation of tearing can be felt throughout the body. He tries to remain strong for he knows that is best. But his strength is being put to the test.

There is no prize, there is no glory, that goes with this story.
For if the truth be told he has to let go, the heart of gold.
So powerless and so much pain. Will not be done in vain. For the future is his gain.
For his delight is the their hearts reunite.

The 'hour' approaches but the focus on the hour is shifted to the 'minute.'

The intensity grows with each tick and magnified by the tock of the clock.
Nothing to bite on not even a sock.
For he is the man and he must remain strong.
The burden is heavy and the haul is long.

For what is being torn apart will be brought back together again. Her eyes are the color of the mountains. His eyes are the color of the sky. This is what it's like when two hearts are torn apart.

Interesting imagery. A bit confusing at times for me, but it does paint an effective picture of the pain of heartbreak.

Well, here's the story behind the story.

I dropped my fiance off at the bus station yesterday. She is going to different parts of the US and then back to her country. The tentative plan is that we will see each other in the fall. But it is not definite yet. Worse case it would be June 2007 when I go over there for our wedding. That's the underlying story. Never felt so much pain.

So sorry Dude,

thank goodness for the net and the phone tho huh? Not quite as good but so much better than the old days.

Don't know what country she's in but I have a young lady I love as a daughter that lives in Bulgaria and is now in France studying. After two years of mostly just emails she now can call anywhere in the states and the EU for one monthly price and very reasonable. So maybe that's an option for you? It's wonderful just to hear her voice once again. Now we have long conversations.

Keep your chin up......time goes very fast and before you know it.....

Yes SMS, email, phone are going to be the meager morsels in a increaseingly hungry belly.

Thanks all for the words of encouragement.

She is from Kyrgyzstan.
