Old Lovers

[MorgaineLaFay]

I saw mine tonight. Was on my way home from work. Saw his car. He was driving up the street, his blinker flashed left. I turned left as well even though it was out of my way. He got out and we talked. Hugged. It was when he reached over to turn my necklace because the clasp had fell to my throat. I was numb by his touch. I stood there looking at him, my lips parted, wanting to kiss this man. In the street for the entire world to see. I didn’t...but...sweet jesus.

Sitting here now. Two hours later, I can smell him. His scent. They way it filled his house on those lazy afternoons we spent there.


How do you feel when you run into an old love?

 

[Juspar Emvan]

Sounds like someone needs some loving.

 

[Wiggles]

I go into panic mode. My heart beats faster, and I don't know what to do with myself.

I tend to love people for who they are, and not just what was between us. So when I see them, it hurts, because I still can appreciate that. And it scares me that I can't behave the way I used to.

It's only happened to me once, and it was pleasant, but I couldn't help thinking of all the missed opportunities.

 

[LukkyKnight]

You mean "former lover" not "old" really, right?

The only one that could possibly have that effect on me chose to move away so far it would take a genuine miracle to bump into her. It was the best of times, and the worst, all wrapped into one. The ones who truly touch you will never not cause your heart to skip a beat, Morgy, they mattered too much to not have that impact. Look at it this way, though: some people never know that sweet joy, and so they never get that unexpected reminder of the power, either.

It hurts.....usually im very emotionally involved with people...and when i see someone who i used to ...well you know...it's like an ice pick shoved up my fingernails....we dont say hi...dont even look at each other....

Depends who it is. Some I don't feel a thing, others whom I still keep in touch with I love seeing again. Love to hear their voice, talk about good memories, listent to what's going on in their lives and such. I acutally had an ex call me yesterday to wish me a belated birthday. It always feels great to hear his voice, he's one of my closest friends, someone I know who'll always be there 24/7 for me. I haven't met him face to face since he left England, but when I do meet him I just know I'm going to love having his strong arms around me again.

Then we have the one who refuses to acknowledge my presence anymore. There things just feel weird and awkward when meeting and I usually end up spending the night wishing he'd at least say hello. Usually end up in a crap mood after seeing him. Mixed feelings, hurt, sadness, love, fond memories, undisputed friendship from my side etc etc. I still hear his laugh ringing in my ears, his smell is still within my memory, his smile etc still makes me melt and miss him occasionally.

Damn, I'm such a sucker for exes.

Wiggles...that was beauitful. You just explained how I felt...only I coun't find those simple words my self.

 

[SexySlut2]

Depends if my husband is with me or not. If he is I feel uncomfortable, kinda awkward really. If I'm by myself, I don't feel anything. The past is in the past for a reason.

Former lover. Sorry..you are right. Yet...this person...touched me on a different level. Our hearts skipped. It just wasn't our time. We can go into this in heavy detail in private. But...*smile* I've been avoiding him for exactly one year. Today I was drawn to him...I could have easily waved and drove on.

I never find the simple words, it's not possible. If Wiggles can say it in 20 words I'll mangle it into 20 pages and still not be able to make sense of the lover that still has the power to make me forget everybody else in the world.

 

[MorgaineLaFay]

okay damn it...my words aren't working for me tonight!

I just meant that she stated how she felt...so simply. I liked it.

I just know there's a compliment in there somewhere!

Thanks Morgaine, now if I can just get this little wild heart to behave I'll be set.

Loan the words to Dustygrrrrrrl, let wiggles do the writing, and we can shoot for a nice sambucca buzz.

 

[MorgaineLaFay]

I swear your a man after my heart

 

[glamorilla]

The worst is when I'm like on a new date and there are four guys I've slept with in the bar...

 

[MorgaineLaFay]

*chukling*

Ya Slut

 

[LukkyKnight]

I swear your a man after my heart

What is the way to Morgaine's heart? Surely not through the stomach...

 

[MorgaineLaFay]

LMAO...


That my friend ... you will have to figure out for your self

 

[LukkyKnight]

Rats, you haven't had enough to drink yet.

 

[MorgaineLaFay]

And yet I am dancing around the living room inbetween posts stripping off my work clothes...

 

[LukkyKnight]

Clothing is highly over-rated, albeit useful at work usually. Just ask any old lover.

 

[MorgaineLaFay]

LOL...

Skins day

 

[LukkyKnight]

Excellent. Can I come over and play?

 

[Ice Cold]

Kind of surreal. Not knowing how to act or what to say... for the most part I live away from all of them. The sucky part is I see one every single day. Never know how to read the things she says or does.
