THE DATE "I'm sorry, what did you say? I didn't hear you." "Would I like to go out with you sometime? Yeah, I would. I think that we would have a good time together." "Maybe we could go see a movie or perhaps go somewhere nice for dinner to talk and to get to know each other better." "Over the course of the evening I would charm you with my humor and my wit. You would appreciate that I actually listen to what you say." "Finally, though we might have wished that the night to last forever, the night will end and we will have to go our separate ways. But I will not kiss you. Instead I will hug you. I will embrace you with my arms and in that embrace, though it will be strong, you will feel the warmth and the tenderness that lies within waiting to be released." "Two or three nights later we would go out again and it would begin where our last evening together ended. The evening would be perfect and, although it was only our second date, you would notice that you are falling in love with me." "When the time came that night for us to say "good-bye," I would kiss you. I would kiss you in a way that you have never been kissed before. With that kiss you would once again feel the warmth and tenderness coming from inside of me and you heart would burn for more. With that kiss I would tell you that I know how you feel about me, and that I feel just as strongly about you." "As the time continued to pass our feelings for each other would continue to become stronger and soon we would be an inseparable part of each others lives. The time would soon come that we would lie down together for the first time." "Only when that time came would you truly realize all that I have to offer. The passion with which we made love would be matched only by the tenderness with which that love was given, and that night you would know that we were meant to be together forever." "I would cheat on you. And you would never suspect me." "Time would continue to pass and I would become preoccupied with school or work. The passion would begin to leave our relationship. I would tell you, "I've just been busy lately." and I would smile and tell you how much I love you. And you would believe me." "I would cheat on you. And although you would begin to suspect me, you would never confront me." "Things would go well for a while. You would stop spending time with you friends so that you could spend more time with me. Soon you would stop seeing you friends altogether and I would become everything to you. Only my approval would matter and all else would be seem insignificant." "I would cheat on you. And you would confront me. And I would deny it in such a way that you would feel ashamed for having doubted my love for you. And you would cry and beg me to forgive you. And I might." "By now all resemblance of love and of passion would be missing from my touch, and I would make that poignantly obvious when we would make love. I would ignore your need to feel loved and my own gratification would come at the expense your spirit and your pride." "I would cheat on you. And I would come home to see you sleeping, and I would look at you. But when I would look at you I wouldn't see the beautiful face that I see before me now. Instead I would look at you, and I would be disgusted at what I see. I would look at the tearstains lining your face and I would wonder what happened to the strong, beautiful, intelligent woman that I fell in love with. I would see in her place a broken woman. A woman no longer capable of true love." "I would wake you up that night and we would "make love." And I would use this act to strip you of any last bit of pride or of self confidence that you might have still been hanging on to." "And before you wake up, I would leave you. You would never see me again after that night, but you would never forget me. And From that day on every relationship that you have or try to have would fail because of what I did to you." "Would I like to go out with you some time? Yeah, I think we would have a good time together. Is Friday night okay?" DL Feb. 14, 1998 |
