The Gentle Giant / Jealousy is a Killer

He was 6' 4"  tall.
WOW.....
And built like a wrestler too.
Dirty Blonde hair and light green eyes.
Ouch...
Not my type....
But  Ouch anyway...  ! ! !
Giggle.....  I'm so silly ....

I remember our first date.
It was my first time going to a Japanese Restaurant.
Neat - O.
Throwing food in the air
Landing on the chefs hat....
spatulas flying every where
Flames and  drama over the shrimp and steak.
Wooooo.
I was impressed.

When we first walked in , he put his arm around my waist.
Certainly a good sign.

While watching the chef cook,
he kept touching my leg and my knee.
And squeezing me.
I felt like everyone was looking.
Guess they never saw a blushed face before.

We spent every weekend together
And in between, he continually sent me e-mail cards.
Cute ones with little bears and funny music.
And called me almost every night.
It was wonderful.

He never told me how he felt.
Never asked for a committment or anything exclusive.
And I never brought it up.
So....
One evening when he was over.....
I got a call from another guy.

After that......
Everytime he came over, he would check my caller - id.
Everytime the phone would ring.... he would tense up.
One night, I got several calls.....
He assumed they were guys.
They weren't.
But I could see that he would not believe me.
When he left in the morning, I could tell he was upset.

I sent him an e-mail the next night.
Asked him, if he was ok.....
His reply was..... " NO  ! ! ! !  we need to talk. "

I never heard from him again.......

Jealousy......  is  a    KILLER.......
