"The secret of a good memory is attention, and attention to a subject depends upon our interest in it. We rarely forget that which has made a deep impression on our minds." - Tryon Edwards
Meet Lisa. Lisa is a naturally beautiful woman, as you can tell. Well, unless you're of extremely bad taste, or a blind fool. Her beauty is not solely physical, though. She has an exquisitely beautiful soul. How is it that I know this? Hers is a soul that deeply and profoundly touched me.
Playful, good-humored, incredibly (unbelievably) sexy, bubbly, intoxicating... is but a few words beginning to describe this exuberant little one. I would be remiss if I failed to mention how loving, attentive, caring, compassionate, and understanding she was. Simply put, a good woman, with a genuinely good heart, and a firm head on her shoulders.
For a brief amount of time she freed me from the bounds and shackles of loneliness. Let me live. Her love energized me and gave me some sense of purpose. Something I'd not had before, or since. Following our separation, I have never been desperate for something so much. I agonized alone...
Personal pain notwithstanding, I celebrate this woman, and the time spent with her. It is a time I yearn for. My lowly heart has never known such rapture. Truly, it was the most joyous, utterly fulfilling, eloquent experience I've had bestowed upon me. There is no comparison.
I had a (wonderful) dream to marry this sassy, sultry blonde. To live out my life wholly dedicated to her. To be her rock, her shoulder, her every need. Through her happiness I would find solace, a semblance of normalcy, serenity. If only... but alas, a dream my life is not.
Although things certainly didn't turn out how I (naively) expected, I was lucky, blessed even to have what I did. It meant a lot. Still does. Hence the preservation here. I couldn't forget someone as special, as near and dear to me as (my) Lisa. Especially after the way she treated me, with such warmth and loving-kindness...
