The Affair....Part Two

She grew up with nothing. Her life was just one big "hand me down" after another.
In her high school year she a few boyfriends.
But Paul was so special. They met in the summer just before her senior year. He moved in down the street and when she first saw him, she fell in love.
When she finally was able to talk to him, she was "over the moon" to learn that he would be attending the same high school as her. She offered to help get used to his new school and now a "bond" was formed.
They were together all that summer and when school started, they went to school the first day together. They walked to school together, ate lunch together, walked home together and did homework together.
Shortly into the school year, he asked her to " go with him ", to be his girl. After she said yes, he kissed her and she thought her legs were going to turn to jello.
Did she love him ? Well she would tell everyone she did. But soon after she was beginning to understand that, with him, things were no better for her. He came from a poor family too and even though he made her feel so good as a women, she couldn't not see herself escaping her life with him.
She had good looks and she knew it.
She decided to use those looks as her ticket out of "poorness" of her life.
She started to accept dates from other guys. Better off guys. Older guys.
One day she decided that Paul needed to know.
She told him that even though she cared for him greatly, she didn't feel that their relationship was ever going to move away from the poor surroundings that she grew up in.
As she was telling him how much she wanted to get away, to see things, to go places, to have nice things, the tears rolled down his eyes.
He knew he couldn't give her what she wanted. He cared so much for her but he had to let let go.
They parted but promised to keep in touch. That never happened. Shortly after the break up, Paul again moved and they lost touch with each other.
So now she sits looking out her kitchen window wondering what ever happened to Paul and asking why she is still so unhappy even though she has everything she ever wanted.
to be continued....
so until I blog at you again,
take care of yourselves,
and each other.......templar
