I have been moved and so I write, moved by Californication Season 1 Episode 8 about his father. I started thinking about the things I have wanted to be a father, a husband a lover and a friend, I do well some but the one that cannot be muliganed has not happened, thru circumstance events and a few times what could be considered luck I have not had the path to father opened. Something about the love of a child appeals to me in a way I cannot articulate and I do not mean mine for I but rather I to them. Some part of me moving on past me bringing some fragment of what I was forward to others, a family a name a line a path responsibilty to protect what was by being what is. I seem to have gone another way abandoning the first few for the last being a friend. I have a good many friends as I have always had in my adult life moving about me as they always do closer and drawing away each being helped and helping as they need. In some ways I have replaced that old perogitive with this, no longer a child and a lover seek but instead strive to be the best man I can be and maybe in the end all things will come as I had once hoped but down a road I would have never thought.
[I am sorry there is such a clear demarcation of idea's here but this is how I think]
For the first time in a long while I have fallen in Love, that scary scary word, I mean on some level it evokes fear of betrayal and humiliation, and yet I cannot help myself. I do not want to Love to put myself there out on a limb opening my emotions again to another letting them into my mind my soul my life. I am scared to death. And yet I do Love her I walk again the path of which has cost me so much pain. Why? I ask over and over this was not a requirement of her’s not her plan not so soon so fast. I cannot help it she rules so many of my thoughts and again I am 18 by a wall looking in the eye’s of that first and kissing so gently and knowing something so great. When I kiss Leah that is there and like then I am driven to her to kiss and to more. Yet not. She is not ready and I am Ok with that, how did this happen this realignment of what I was trapped in touch and affection to save my soul, I let her in and did not demand the price of flesh that makes the risk at least enjoyable. I am baffled at me. Love is a funny fickle thing and I seem to be absorbed in its grip. I have not blogged much cause I cannot articulate how I am feeling. I am on a rollercoaster, I want to smash to get off to escape but I want to stay on, to risk the whole ride to see if this is the one she that I have sought since that first kiss. Lips touching but so much more than that could ever be.
