Have you ever loved someone to the point where you would go to the ends of the earth for the person if they asked?
Oh, yes. That was back when I was twenty. It was the most beautiful time in my life. I still think about this person, every day, even though I haven't seen same in over twenty years. I have never talked to my wife about this one, because I really don't think she'd understand. This one's locked in a jewelry box, for all intents and purposes, like a precious stone, and every so often, when it's quiet, I open it, and I take the memory of this person out, along with the old snapshots, and I replay in my head all the wonderful times I had, when I experienced a happiness that people have sought from drugs, and have died trying to achieve.
There was nothing that I wouldn't have done had this person asked me to do so. Nothing. Eventually, she moved away, and I mourned for many months like I had suffered the loss of a family member.
Ever hear Dolly Parton talk? That was her speaking voice. They both came from the same part of Tennessee. I guess you could say it was love. For me, it was also an obsession.
I guess everyone, sooner or later, if he or she isn't a shut in with red eyes from looking at a monitor, meets a person like this, who changes your life that it would never be the same as it was. Some of us are lucky, others are not. Some of us have snapshots and songs on the radio that come on and other triggers.
Yeah, Jester, been there. You're a very lucky man.
"Divine being!" HAH!
