Just to Touch You

I was rummaging through a kitchen drawer last Saturday, looking for a pair of scissors, when I came across this hand written, faded letter, in an envelope, addressed to me. It was from Dianne - an ex girlfriend, from long ago. I opened it, sat down and began to read...

Dear Paul,

I woke up in the middle of the night and reached across the bed, just to touch you - but you weren't there. My pillows still smell like you, and I. am already sorry for saying what I said to you.

But I really don't understand how you can be such an asshole sometimes. You play this game with my heart and you think you can get away with it because of your cute ass and those fucking eyes of yours. You know you can hypnotize me with the words you say and how you say them, and you do that on purpose. There's a name, a word , for a man like you. It describes who you are and how you selfishly, seduce and treat women. I just can't think of that name right now, but YOU know it!

I said to you, that I could change, so just give me time. Give me a chance. You know we're good together. We are fucking good together and yet you treat US, as if it's just a sex thing. It's more than that. Much more !

If what you said to me last night is true and if that's the way you feel - then I don't want to see you again. And that's MY truth !

You know I love you Paul. You know we could make this work ! Can't we try?

Love
Dianne


I held that scrawled, rambling, repetitive note in my hand - and paused. Dianne's seething anger toward me, was obvious. She likely, might have been hammered, when she wrote it. I mean honestly... I could not have been, sooo horrible, that she would call me a lothario - that name she was searching for. Nor was I as shallow, as she implied I was... She must have been confused...

I was in my mid twenties when I met her, and I recall that Dianne and I were only together for about a year. Aside from the sex - I didn't think we had that much, going for us. I was never with her again, after the night she wrote me that letter. And I only saw her, one other time, in my life.

She was in a packed, smoky and sweaty night club, with her new boyfriend. They were crammed shoulder to shoulder, sharing a wobbly, grimy little table, with a half dozen people. I was with a couple of my friends - and we were leaving that dive . The music was loud, Dianne and I made eye contact, smiled meekly at each other and tried to say hello. I felt sorry for her. She didn't look, particularly happy. Her sullen eyes followed me as I passed.

I looked at the letter, I still held in my hands. I folded it up into the envelope, put it in the drawer and pushed the drawer shut - then sat there for a few seconds more.

Finally, I shook my head, got up from the chair, and continued my search... for those elusive scissors.

So...
Have you ever been in a relationship where you saw things one way and your lover, saw things, in a completely different way ?

Do ever think about an 'ex' of yours and wonder what might have been, or what happened to them?


BTW... Lothario is a nefarious character in the 1605 novel - 'Don Quixote'. Another word to describe him would have been - womanizer .. .
Oh, and the scissors were found where I left them last time I used them - right on my office desk.

I've run into a few girls who I dated. One, some 20 years later. She was married with kids and we shared a few laughs. She had matured into a fine looking, intelligent woman! But that's a story for another blog post.

It certainly is ok to disagree. That's what happened here. I think she wanted more... Thanks for dropping by.

Wow. I guess it's a good thing that you and your ex are talking - at least about your kids and related issues. Boy that might bug me if I saw all my ex's in this city on a regular y. Lol... Thankfully it's too big (the city I meant)!

I lived with a girl when I was in my 20s, she constantly fucked around behind my back, but never saw it that way. I even offered her an open relationship to make room for her panty dropping ways, but she would always say she was committed to me. Other than that, we were great together, the sex was unbelievable, probably due to all of her "practice". We eventually broke up over that, but I did find her about 5 yrs ago in a small town in Florida and sent her a letter asking how she was. I received a letter back a few weeks later. She was still in love with me, ready to leave her live-in-boyfriend of 5 yrs, and did I know how much a bus ticket to San Antonio was. Apparently, she's still a fuck-around-girl and now she's added some crazy to her personality. I shut down the conversation real quick. You should give Dianne a call, and ask how is she doing. Careful, bitches be crazy.

Wow... That's worthy of a blog entry or two. How you found her sounds like a detective story.

Why did you re-fold the letter and put it back in the drawer and not just throw it out???

That's a good question. Perhaps in life, we can learn as much from the bad experiences as we can from good ones so the letter would actually remind me of both. You can't erase your past simply by throwing out the letter. Plus the letter was going back to it's place at the end bottom of a drawer.

Yes that is true. I am not sure if I was lothario, but I changed my life afterwards and swore myself to a life of celibacy. It worked for a while...

It's a souvenir. With some people it might be a picture, with others it's a Birthday Card or something like that, and with her it's the note. It's just a reminder of a part of my life. We did spend some good times together. You don't have souvenirs?

It is true that celibacy is a challenge to be sure and especially with an open, fun loving character like mine. But I'm trying my best to remain pure. I'm not saying that I wouldn't sway if the right opportunity wouldn't present itself, but so far... I guess women just are not attracted to me... I imagine that I am not putting out the right vibe. So I guess that's ok... Yep I guess it's ok...

You're probably basing your opinion of me based on what you are reading on my blog. You have to Remeber that most of what I write is fiction. It didn't all really happen. They are just stories.

This cuts me up- snork-scissors- shoulda cut up the letter or better yet- framed it and hung it up as a reminder
Yes, once in a while I am reminded of someone when he sends me a drunken email, which I ignore. Snuck off back to CA and never told me he was going ( email from the road) back to his swinger lady from 20+years ago. It didnt work out and I think he's lost in California gold { see pic}

You're funny. Souvenirs of good or bad r still reminders to either strive to repeat or to try to avoid - or perhaps they are just a memory, and after all - when that explodes , what do we have left ? It's a puzzle - you can't throw pieces out just because you don't like them- the puzzle is never complete! But in this case - none of that is valid! The 'Truth' backed its way out of that bar, all the way to the 'name' of that scoundrel and THEN the set was constructed and things fell into place. So thank you for that 'name' . Campos's side of the building is so chill and footloose. Yes, I laughed out loud!
.... Drunken emails and phone calls.. Ahh... Love! Yes.. But it's exquisite pain is something we all still strive to breath.... over and over again.. (even if we won't admit it). Thanks again for the motivation! True! ❤️😉👍😊 You and I both know, this one is yours... Lol...

Oooo.... Wait... The words are enhanced. I never said that my stories weren't true, only that I enhanced them with words. They are all, more or less - based on something that I experienced.. There are a few stories that are complete fiction... but... I could go thru each story and tell you which part is true or not... But yes.. I have enhanced reality to suit this medium... Thanks for reading them... at least... I hope you find them entertaining - at least?

You know you are digging deep in a drawer if you are reading a letter! Not many even know what a letter is or how you write one. Mine had a lot of xoxo and 💕 hearts ♥️. I would even spray them with my perfume 😂. Every Ex I am friends with on FB. It’s fun seeing how life turned out. I never burn bridges or hold grudges. Life is precious and who I was when I was in my 20’s is not who I am today. 💕💕

Yes, I have felt differently then a few of my ex’s. They wanted more and I didn’t. It’s sad and difficult to be on different pages. To this day : I have 2 ex’s who want more- if I did.

Lol. You're funny... That drawer of mine has stuff in it that I haven't looked into for years. One of these days it will be opened up like a treasure chest.
So you used to put perfume on letters ? I used to love it when I would get one of those letters. I'd sniff them for months. At least you learned what a lothario is? Lol... Have a great night... (ps this is all fiction... No chickens were hurt in the writing of this blog) L8r

Occasionally, I have kept some mementos. But it didn’t take long before I tossed them out because the relationships were finished and there was no point in hanging onto them.
Question: were the scissors symbolic of trying to cut the ties of the past with Diane?

Good or bad, souvenirs from our past help us to define the life we've lived.
Ooooo... That scissors symbolism is something that I didn't even think about. Hmmm. Yep perhaps you are right, That's a good one! Can I use that in my book report?

I got in B-I-I-I-I-G trouble once for calling someone a Lothario. I was writing about the first spanking party that I ever attended. One of the men there seemed quite popular - in fact when he was spanking a cute young thing, he had ANOTHER cute young thing acting as his assistant, handing him various implements. I referred to him as a "spanky Lothario". As it happened, he read my piece (posted over on Fetlife) and he did not like that. Not. One. Bit.

Once I actually looked up the meaning, I had to apologize to him. Basically I was just impressed that a middle aged guy was able to have not one but two cute young women in his scene....and I was using it as synonym for someone who was popular with the ladies. Oops. That was a lesson learned to be more precise with my phrases (and also to keep in mind that someone who I'm talking about might read my post).
