Clarity

Sometimes your paths are not meant to cross with another...well, not the way you want it to be. I have come to accept that with someone who was on the verge of becoming a special someone. We had a talk to clear things up, for him to tell me what exactly was going on and for me to tell him what were my expectations. He was really sorry because he felt that he was leading me on when he couldn't commit. But then again, it wasn't entirely his fault either.

At first, I was really rather disappointed because he is a great guy and I wished that something more could've come out of it. After he left, I thought about things over and I'm glad we had that talk because now that I know where we stand, I'm alright. I can see where he's coming from; he would rather hurt me now than hurt me a few months down the line when things become more complicated. For what it's worth, I appreciate his honesty.

Who knows, when he becomes a famous opera singer 10 years down the road, I might bump into him again. I felt so much better after talking to him that I had to go and see him and tell him that everything was cool between us. I know he felt bad but now that we're just friends, I want to know that I'm here for him as a friend. He invited me to watch him sing on Wednesday before all of this and I told him just now that I would be there to support him. That's what friends are for.
