the allure of a fantasy (OR, the man who disappeared)
Some stories seem like dreams when you tell them, years after.Interruptions in your normal life;
an unexpected lover, a sudden journey, words you never thought you’d hear.
Those were the moments most unlikely to happen, yet they did take place.
You are pretty sure they did…
And how come things that are slightly fuzzy on the edges, a little surreal;
how come they seem a little extra magical? Like reality, but on drugs.
Things are more colorful, emotions more intense, the passion abundant.
It’s not just the past. It is the unlikeliness of it all.
Why him and why me? Us, such a strange combination.
Yet there we were, matching t-shirts and picture perfect French affair.
I am identifying a dangerous pattern. It involves exotic men, European cities and my own recklessness.
Mix with caution, may be explosive.
