07.27.10: Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

...is it a fantasy? Or is this real?

I can't lie anymore. Yes, I've had feelings about this for a while now. When we first met, I wasn't sure. I didn't know you. But as we became closer, as I grew to know you, my heart grew fonder. But then, as any prospect of growing closer became almost tangible, a wall went up. We shut down and set it to cruise.

However, now, my foot is on the accelerator and so dangerously close to pushing it.

Unfortunately, your foot is on the brake and your eye in the rear view mirror.

What I mean to say is that I've been there. Heck, I am there. My love is betrothed to another. I know the story. However, as much as I want to keep looking in the mirrors at the beautiful scenery behind me, I have to keep moving. Keep going. It's fine every once in a while to pull over, stop, and savour the beauty around you. However, you have to get back in and keep driving onward. While the beauty you pass may fade into the distance, there will always be so much more awaiting you.

My dear, sweet friend, I think it's time to keep moving forward.
