Continuing on from my previous post,
remember the guy at the end? The second one that was doing the same
thing to the girl? So the whole issue around him is that he's
currently “getting over” his ex who left him about a month ago,
and now my friend is considering moving two hours away from him.
She'd like to see the long distance relationship happen, he wants
freedom. (See the problem?)
Well, I am in Toronto for the next five
days for school, living with my cousin and her roommate. The roomie
came home late last night and was contemplating going to McD's, so I
did her the favour of distracting her with conversation to keep her
away from the golden arches. In doing so, she started telling me
about this guy she met a few weeks ago. “I'm crazy about him. I'm
in love. I've found the one. I've only felt this way once about
someone.” Those are some of the phrases she opened the conversation
with. She told me all about how they like the same things, they're in
the same field of work, how physically close they... have... been...
(I like being PG ;P)
The first night they were together
particularly touched me. They are both into music, so after a gig
they worked together she invited him back to her place. The were
jamming, her on her acoustic, him on the electric playing through her
computer. They were sitting facing each other, chairs almost
touching, legs in between each other, just playing. So beautiful. So
pure. Just expression. That was what really started the wheels
turning.
That was three weeks ago. At this point
she also went into a detailed description of what their wedding would
look like.
Want to know the real kicker? She lives
in Toronto. He lives in Windsor. THAT IS 4 HOURS AWAY!!!!! They will
drive two hours each and meet in London for a night. Otherwise they
will do some gigs together and hang out then. AFTER THREE WEEKS OF
KNOWING EACH OTHER!! They are already that committed.
I almost started crying. Because I
immediately thought back to this guy, whom my friend has known well
and been close to for a year and a half, who, as soon as my friend
says, “I might be moving,” immediately loses interest.
How genuine is this world, eh?
Spread the Love
