		<description>&quot;It is that vague, unblemished fantasy of who we could have been… had we somehow been made perfection.&quot;

		<description>Well stated.

In this case, mine was a memory I would not have admitted I had if asked. If you had asked if I loved her, I would have said, &quot;Of course not, how could I? It has been too long.&quot; But in the darkness, there was that glimmer of what might have been... if the stars had aligned and time reverted to days long gone. if a different path had been chosen, one that didn&#039;t take me to live in 3 states in as many years. It is that vague, unblemished fantasy of who we could have been... had we somehow been made perfection.

I unknowingly allowed this, along with what I consider my greatest failure (which I will not be blogging about), to restrict my thought process. Somethings I would not allow, would not consider, for some unrational fear that things wouldn&#039;t messure up. The memory preventing her from meauring up. The failure preventing me.

But I believe I see things more clearly now. I still have no idea what is going on. I only know myself, my past, and who I am striving to be. I am expecting a fair amount of pain, a fair amount of relief, and a healthy dash of closure to be upcoming. 

I am working on being more honest with people about who I am. So many people who don&#039;t know a damn thing think they know. Those I don&#039;t care about. But a few... a few know me best and still don&#039;t know. They are the ones. 

We all have a story. It is high time some people knew mine, from the eyes of the only person who has ever lived it.</description>

		<description>the memory becomes a fantasy.
a fragile fantasy.
and when the real world enters, what she is today, who she&#039;s become, the fantasy is shattered.
realizing the memory is imperative.
but, you are brilliant. i expect nothing less.</description>
