I met this man through our church in January. Both of us expected nothing more than a possible friendship. Over the course of a few weeks we discovered that we were very like-minded and seemed to truly understand each other's somewhat bizarre and complicated lives. My life has been riddled with fairly serious health problems, and his life has been full of abuse and pain. We are both musicians, he is a professional, and I am more of a recreational singer.
Music is something that burns very deep in both of our souls.
At one point in time our dreams were the same, but over the years I have been forced to let go of my dream due to my health problems. Anyway, we had developed the beginnings of a wonderful friendship, when he suddenly pulled away, complete with explanation of not being ready for a relationship. We did not see each other for 2 weeks when we ran into each other at church and he asked me to lunch. We spent so much time together, mostly talking and just having fun. It didn't matter what we did, we just enjoyed being together.
