I like "Pre You" not just because it answers the-breaking-the-ice questions you get asked early in a relationship but also because it hints of the possibility of a "Post You".
Loll - Jaycee - embryo? Kiibaati - post you? that's one way of looking at it Kafo - loll. the guy cant sweet talk you with that - what i was trying to depict was the person is saying "she" was the person who meant as much to me as you do now. YIB - hope the above clarifies your understanding ;-)
hmmm I like this it's interesting.. It's like she was my confidante before you came along She was my 'other'.. before you she was my partner.. before you she was the one I would break my back for ...before you she was my best friend before you she was my rock before you she was my world.. before you.
I've often thought that our friendships are the greatest and biggest love affairs we will ever have. I always think that friendships teach us how to give ourselves and love another being immensely without complications. It's like you love your friends passionately, you tolerate their flaws, you leave yourself open with them.
It's why your lovers sometimes get jealous of your friends, because they long for that closeness, that knowingness that you share with your friends. argggh I better stop now.... (smile)

LB - loll yeah no way was i letting you go with that one
and Soul - STOP! Its like you knew exactly what i was thinking and where this was coming from. OMG - you're like the only person that got that I was referring to a female friend. hahahaha Even the person i wrote it about didn't get what i was referring to!
And i totally agree about the friendship thing being like your greatest relationship. Her family used to think we were like lesbians because of how close and serious we were.
Gosh! Soul, why now? Why? You had to get it right! LOL!
@Noni Let me be honest, when I read it... I knew you were talking about a female friend. But I did not know what kinda friend... that's why I said I hadn't figured it out.
Whoa! Ok big raised eyebrow. What do you mean by "But I did not know what kinda friend... "??
Loll - please oh! I dont have any other kind of female friends.
Actually, - i did try to be ambiguous about it so it's open to interpretation. it was inspired by a conversation I had with one of my friends about someone I'm no longer friends with. However as I was writing it, I puprosely didn't put any defining charactersitics so it could be anyone relating this or feeling this way.
on a serious note, it's probably becasue I've been there a few times, when a guy i started dating has said something like.. 'I'm here now, you don't need her' or asked that very same question
Ok, this got me thinking.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I've figured it out.
